No, is Yankie?

I'm as Big a fish as my stomach will allow

So bring on the Burger!

"Limey" isn't considered an insulting word in the UK because it's simply never used.
Okay then, my fishy friend, one gigantic burger coming up.

Oh, and and for anyone who wants them.

*Accepts a corn on the cob and sklathes it with butter.*

Say, Fish, I thought it was a little suspicious too, wanting a cow. Maybe we should check his back for a fin.

Yankies is what the Southern US calls the Southern US. Yes, in the southerner's mind it means pushy, loud, demanding and sometimes rude (a mixture of Klingon and Ferengi). True southerners take things slower and are more concerned with protocols like politeness. The southerners actually pronounce it more like yaaahnky, in fun of the northern accents.

I meant calls the Northern US.

BB! Stop showing off, the new smilies don't work yet

Oh, I didn't know that... I suppose we just assume all americans are the same... just like you must think we're all the same But there the differances must be staggering, considering the amount of space between each other

I know the new smilies don't work yet, but unless they're posted in a thread where I know they are, I won't be able to tell exactly when they do work. And how do you know I wasn't simply writing for no reason?

Because I know

Oh.
*Passes over a anyway*

Now THAT is a Burger!

Yes.
It is also excessive.

Well, I've never been one to over indulge

"I've never been one to over indulge;
I just bulge".

Could I have extra with that?

Certainly.

Did you know that at McDonalds they have a "Big Mac Guide to Customer Complaint":

Be on the look-out for customers who may well cause trouble and complain.
Imagine how the customer would look like with blood running from his head.
Get out a machete/sawn off shotgun etc..

Murder the complaining trouble-maker.
And all of his family and other witnesses.
Carry his body out back into the walk-in freezer and chop it up into bits and serve as more Big Macs.

That's a very worrying thing to hear, ... coming from someone who works there

McDonalds is a worrying place...

The REAL Big Mac Guide to customer Complaint is:

"Be Polite"
"Identify the problem"
"Gain the customers trust"
"Mutually Negotiate an acceptible solution"
"Act to resolve the problem"
"Consider how to avoid the problem again"

But I prefer the axe-weilding maniac version.

In any case, we don't have to worry about any of that as no-one complains about our beach barbecue - and if they do, they don't mean it.

Yes - Especialy when an Axe is being waved!


Could I have another ?

Is that an axe you are threatening me with?
Certainly you can have a my old friend.

Hot dog - good idea. I'd love it if someone would give me a nice hot large sausage...
