The backwards baseball caps, the loud giggling, the loud talking, the loud trying-to-impress-the-ladies “Here’s the REAL home of the Whopper” thing, fine. That’s par. But now, I always have to linger and watch. Wait and watch for it to happen. The coup de grace. Will he or won’t he? Awww, it doesn’t look like…WAIT…He’s moving towards it, he’s picking it up, he’s putting it together…SCORE! Yay! I’ve just seen my 1000th teen dumbshit put on the paper BK crown that’s meant for five-year-olds! Oh, that one never gets old, obviously, as you seem to really be amused with yourself. Yes, people, a billion years of evolution have come to this. Bravo. ---

You know, it’s the little things. If you’re ever in the Orlando area, check out the BK on Colonial Drive in Winter Garden. It’s earned the nickname “Mullet King” – a disproportaionately large amount of the town’s population is employed in the trades, there’s a huge amount of heavy truck traffic along Colonial, and the street is the major route to the booming western suburbs, where thousands of new houses are popping up as I type this. No, it’s not screaming kids, but shirtless mulleted men with Lynyrd Skynyrd and “3” caps, the non-stop beeping and screeching of Nextels, and a background din that consists largely of profanities. Not really flameworthy, but flame-broiled, if that means anything. ---

so you’re annoyed by kids acting like kids? by teenagers doing stupid and pointless but totally innocent and harmless things like wearing paper crowns? maybe you feel their time would be better spent throwing keg/drug/sex parties in the woods? ---

Dude, what the hell are you doing sitting in Burger King looking at teenagers? And you accuse Spoofe of having nothing better to do? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hastur \* > Well, now I have to bequeath him the SDMB Sceptre of Valium for achieving a hat trick. \*\* You mean **crown** trick. Hey, I still put the little paper crowns on every now and then. What can I say – it ain’t hurting anyone, and it amuses me (and the spouse as well). Give in to the whimsy, say I. ---

Hey! If **Bossk** baits **Hastur** , does that make him a Hastur-baiter? My apologies. I’d blame the medication, if I was on any. Sadly, this is just my warped sense of humor asserting itself. ---

Am I missing something here? I mean this Bossk guy doesn’t strike me as being the most witty or intelligent person ever, but his posts don’t seem to warrant the outright angry response they’re getting. Also, I thought that this particular one was kind of funny. ---
