Weekend Discussion Thread: Your Unhappy Meal

Okay, I hope this one doesn’t get too gross. Alert regular Tim suggests:

I was watching “The Day the Earth Froze” and thought of what would your unhappy meal be. Mine would include:
1: A maze that you must get the famous English musician into the Dakota;
2: A used Kleenex

Okay, mine would be:
Day-old sushi with a cigarette snuffed out in it; and
The Wacky Hairball Game.

Have at it, and let’s not get too yucky.

    The food doesn’t really matter, since it’s easy to find stuff kids won’t eat, but it should come in a soggy brown paper wrapper, and if there’s an activity, it’s already filled in.

    Prizes? Think about your favorite teddy bear and the race horse scene in the Godfather…
