My Lewis Black end-of-the-universe moment

On my way home today, I'm stuck in traffic, looking out the passenger-side window - I see a Wal-Mart, one of those big-ass suburban Wal-Mart Borg Cubes that's part grocery store, part clothes store, part tire shop... you get the idea. In the parking lot of this Wal-Mart is a McDonalds.

Disgusted, I look out my driver's-side window. On that side, there's a Publix strip mall. You know, Publix, dentist, lawyer, shoe store, and so on. In the parking lot of this strip mall... yeah, another fucking McDonalds.

Now, I'm sitting still in traffic, trying to figure out why anybody would need a McDonalds across from a McDonalds, and I'm reminded of the Lewis Black bit where he finds a Starbucks across from a Starbucks and proclaims that place the end of the universe. I had to laugh.

This place really is the end of the universe...

It's either laugh or cry.

Love it - "Lewis Black end of the universe moment" :bounce:

... is great. So is Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope, Ron White, Richard Pryor, Dane Cook, Mitch Hedburg, Steve Wright, George Carlin, dang I love me some intelligent comedy :)

he's hilarious. And Larry the Cable Guy hates him, so that is just a nice little bonus.

It was in Seattle and I swear there were three other coffee shops on the same damn block.

Seattle has coffee shops like Chicago has bars.

:hi:

Though I like Seattle as well.

:hi: We miss you up here.

I think the aim is to put one on each corner of the intersection.

We have an intersection in town that has two Starbucks across from one another AND two McDonald's across from one another. A drunk wouldn't know if he was seeing double or not. They both do booming business!

That's just absurd. Does anybody really get any additional benefit from having that kind of saturation?
