  1. I was saving this for something, but fuck it, happy dooshy birthday.

    There is a character. He is part of a radical vegan collaborative. The collaborative is aggressive in its vigilantism. His love interest is also part of this collaborative.

    Said character will, on occasion, covertly go on a McDonald's binge. We can explore the back story later, but for the moment, let us just say that it does happen, occasionally.

    After a particularly violent mission by the collaborative, said character sneaks away to cap it off with a McDonald's binge.

    Said character order a supersize meal, consisting of a variety of hamburgled sandwiches. As it happens, said character is McDonald's on the final day of its "Monopoly" give-away. After taking the hamburguesas to task, character notices to flaps on his carbonated corn syrup beverage, as well as on his sleeve of frenched fries.

    Without much thought, he peels the four of them off and lays them neatly in front of him.

    Here we see tiny monopoly pieces, two of which show Boardwalk and Park Place. Said character has won $1,000,000.00

    Now what? Tell the collaborative and out himself? Tell his love interest and hope she hightails it with him? Go at it alone?

    Dunno.

  2. Character discovers that McDonald's is really a front for a secret organization that does good, ensures world peace.

  3. Character discovers that in the case of a nuclear war each McDonald's franchise will flip over revealing the nuclear launcher installed beneath it.

    Ronald McDonald, with his red and white coloring, has his origins as some kind of clownish anti-Soviet caricature.

    And thus each McDonald's around the globe is a Cuban Missile Crisis waiting to happen.

  4. Character manifests his departure from veganism during an argument with another vegan by taking the position that it is theoretically ethical to eat animals that eat other animals. His love interest looks on. Character ultimately discloses to his love interest that he has won a million dollars by eating at McDonalds. He tries to persuade her that eating at McDonalds was not so awful, because the million dollars it generated can be used to offset the consumption of animals. She asks whether he really believes that it is acceptable to eat animals if doing so generates net reductions in the consumption of animals. Following his affirmative answer, she eats him.
