As holder of one of the most common names in the world myself (Michael) it was refreshing to see a new acceptable spelling of our name:
"MICHEAL"

I'll call his version the "african birthday exception."

I LOVE the "Frosty Ice Co" van.
Taking a page right outta the Simpsons with that kinda surveillance.

I believe their motto is:

MFC: We eat copyright law for breakfast

And I believe McDonalds lawyers are served a big box of Chicken Mc Suck-Up-On-Dees Nuggets when they visit.

A weird note from my experience there the other day.

There were more than a few childless couples seated at tables around us. Who the hell goes to Casa Bonita on a date? (Once again, I must emphasize that a man in a gorilla suit is literally chased throughout the whole restaurant during your meal.)
Very strange.
I asked my wife to picture our relationship if I had taken her to Casa Bonita on a first date. I don't know if we would have made it. It's the restaurant equivalent of trying to impress a girl with magic tricks.

For the record: we had a four and 2 year old with us when we went the other night.

my wife and I went there the other night (to entertain a visiting 4-year-old) and the place has not changed one iota since I was a kid.

Seriously, I think they are still working off the same gorilla chase script from 1979.(yes, a gorilla runs around the restaurant with a guy chasing him with a ginormous net... while you are dining. And no, you are not allowed to bring your own gorilla suit to the restaraunt. I asked.)

But like I always say "If you have a good gorilla chase skit think long and hard before you go tinkering around with it." That's a hard, fast rule that I live by.
