Is a Big Mac with Bacon still a Big Mac?

, , , 5

As most of you Wafflers know, we are Big Fans of the Big Mac in this corner. So when I found out that McDonald’s was adding (temporarily) Bacon to it’s flagship burger, I was intrigued.

A Happy Waffle New Year

– Lord Waffle. This is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence. – You may dispense with the pleasantries, Administrator. I am here to put you back on schedule. – I assure you, Lord Waffle, my men are working as fast they can. – Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them. – I tell you that this website will be operational as planned. – The Waffle King does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation. – But he asks the impossible! I need more men! – Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives. – The Waffle King is coming here? – That is correct, Administrator , and he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress. – We shall double our efforts!! – I hope so, Administrator, for your sake. The Waffle King is not as forgiving as I am. ****** Just like the Second Death Star, The Waffle…
