Operation Thailand: September 2026

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

Do you know what is always there and basically never lets me down?

It doesn’t matter if I’m riding high or nearing rock bottom. I ask much of it and it only takes the years off my life I wouldn’t have wanted anyway.

McDonald’s, I love you.

I’m so thirsty! Oh, there’s a McDonald’s. Their new Red Bull drink will quench my thirst and power me through my afternoon shows.

I REALLY need to go to the bathroom.

Sweet, McDonald’s! I hope nobody is in there…

My speaker isn’t fully charged and I’m worried it might not make it through my next show.

I’ll just charge it at McDonald’s and have two McDoubles and a Junior Chicken while I wait.

Man, it sure is hot out but I only have a toonie. Sure could go for a nice, cool drink.

Brilliant! A McDonald’s is only a few minutes away. I can grab an iced coffee!

I “forgot” to pack my lunch.

Don’t worry. You will pass five of them today!

I sure could use some free Wi-Fi.

All good! You’re already at McDonald’s!

I’m mostly serious and only slightly kidding. If you’re traveling and just need a taste of home, McDonald’s will hit the spot.

If it’s freezing outside, go warm up, grab a coffee, and watch others freeze.

Have a bunch of feral kids that need food because apparently they need three meals a day?

Buy some Happy Meals, throw them in the playroom, and hope their owner comes and picks them up soon.

It’s also extremely convenient; almost too convenient.

They are everywhere, and you don’t even need to leave your car.

No wonder I see so many super-sized people these days.

Do you know what just started and is loads of fun?

McDonald’s Monopoly.

Who doesn’t like collecting fun little tokens and winning free stuff?

This guy traveled all over the world taking photos of different McDonald’s locations and published a book called McAtlas.

He must really, really love McDonald’s.

Is there lots of bad that goes along with McDonald’s?

Obviously.

But only the best love is sort of toxic.
