Sneak King?
Not just BK either. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and Wendy’s all have contracts with the military, probably more.
Re: your username. Navy nuke?
Do they do air drops? That would be kinda cool.
No clue. I was a Navy nuke. Not my department
It’s a continuous test cycle of logistics. If you can get familiar fast food, XBoxes and other creature comforts to troops stationed half a world away from home, you can get much spicier fare over when circumstances demand.
I ordered stuff from Amazon on deployment lol
That makes sense, actually, yeah. Logistics is a difficult task, take it from an OpenTTD player.
Above all else the US defence has the best logi
Hey WOPR, how about a nice game of chess?
Oddly thematic.
It’s busy computing the tastiest recipe!
The prop for the W.O.P.R. sold a few years ago. IIRC, someone paid $25,000 for what my father said was a refrigerator box, with Christmas lights inside, painted black, and with plastic caps. He did all the computer graphics on Wargames. Apparently I threw up on Matthew Broderick the time my dad brought me to the set. I would have been 1 or 2 at the time.
People don’t realize what constraints props departments are under, or for that matter, how little it takes to impress a camera.
IMO, everyone should binge-watch Adam Savage’s YT channel before putting down serious money on a movie prop. A shocking amount of this stuff is basically made to survive the production time-frame, and little else.
Also: congrats with that brief brush with stardom. That’s hilarious. Next time, you should seriously lead with “I threw up on Matthew Broderick once.”
I could listen to stories like this all day long.
I love that all, thanks for sharing the story!
I’m here all day, go on

And the tactical BK had the Royale, instead of the standard crispy chicken. At least the ones I visited did. It was a nice break from the US version with proper chicken breast.
The power of not employing minimum-wage 16 year olds who don’t give a shit.

Burger King is trash by comparison.

You clowns keep beefing with the slow kid that wears a paper crown, meanwhile Culver’s and Wendy’s fuck back.
Culver’s is fantastic, but Wendy’s? Really?
Baconator, frosties, and their twitter account.
Frosties are pretty good, but there are better options than baconator, such as Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box or pretty much anything w/ bacon at Carl’s Jr. If you want ice cream w/ it, Culver’s is way better than frosties IMO, and their burgers are pretty good as well.
I only go to Wendy’s if I really want a frosty, and I usually don’t get anything else w/ it (maybe some fries to dip in the frosty).
Neither of those places are good, your opinion is invalid.
Sure, but they’re better than Wendy’s.
I wonder what the cost is per Whopper?
well including the humanitarian crisis discount and the urgency in need fee, about 20$
Answer the following question Mr. Griffin: “Home of the _____?”

The camo on the cab is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting for the rest of the truck.
Is that camo or is it just dirty as hell? I really can’t tell
Yes. It’s camo and dirty as hell.
The cab portion is military owned. The trailer portion is corporate owned.
What trailer? I can’t see a thing.
I just see a truck pulling America out of a plane.
They can’t effectively fight us if they have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diarrhea
I recall an anecdote about (I think) a Japanese admiral during WWII, who upon realising the US Navy had a ship dedicated to making ice cream, knew that they had lost the war.
I had to look this up. If numbers are down this would make great recruiting material.
The Americans truly fight like kings. Having an ice cream ship is definitely something yoh should all feel patriotic about!
Tbf, these had two good reasons. 1, coolant for Project Manhattan if something went horribly wrong with a nuke while getting it to the Pacific theatre. 2, the South Pacific is f-ing brutal without AC when you depend on your armor for safety.
That said, this is clearly an OpSec-related disguise. I’m not military but I’ve heard enough to pretend I saw nothing unless I hear someone inside begging for help. Usually it’s just ammunition transport, so that nobody gets a bright idea to steal military-grade weapons.
If you think that’s just “halfway between Hollywood and reality” BS, look up Project Mogul on wikipedia and keep in mind the CIA can pose as “a former FBI agent” if need be to spread disinformation about military assets. They were terrified the Soviets might get/drop nukes, the more paranoid you are, the more you should be able to relate to spies, generals and anti-terrorist personnel, even if it’s not that likely to go bad in practice.
Remember, the last time military intelligence wasn’t on the ball, 9/11 set the ball rolling for the current mess we’re in. Not that the US under Trump again is in any way fully trustworthy.
3 flavors, all you can eat.
The Americans truly
fight like kingsinvade like colonizers.
That was a lot more relevant than expected
