We all knew it was going to happen
 
<BR>Reuters is reporting that Burger King has inked a promotional deal with New Line in connection with the release of the first LoTR Movie. Found this in Yahoo! daily news under entertainment. The floor is open for (polite) derogatory comments. Lord of the Onion Rings? <p>--Mithadan--<BR> "The Silmarils with living light<BR> were kindled clear, and waxing bright<BR> shone like stars that in the North<BR> above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>

<BR><br><br> I don't understand what the problem is, Mith? Except that it is Burger King and not McDonalds. I hate Burger King! I'll take fried over flame-broiled any day!

<BR><br><br> Whopper can sit on Big macs pickles! McDonalds is NOT anywhere as good as BK. <br> <br> BK Fries are better.<br> Bk Burgers are better.<br> BK Drinks arent as watered down.<br> <br> I can see it now..

Mister Underhill 06-08-2001 03:55 PM

<BR><br><br> What's the poll? McDonald's vs. Burger King? My vote's in: McDonald's tramples Burger King's wimpy, withered meat coins into the dust. <br> <br> <br> &quot;You deserve a break today.&quot;<br> Ronald McDonald [c.1950 to present] <p></p>

<BR><br><br> I live in California, and the McDonalds here arent anywhere as good as BK. When McD's had the Cajun McChicken burger, I might hold it a little higher, but the BK next to my house is good.. very good. <p>"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life.

<BR><br><br> McDonalds rocks!!!!<br> <br> <br> I'm just saying that because we don't have Burger King here. <p>Humour is emotional chaos remembered in moments of tranquility.</p>

<BR><br><br> I must say, BK makes better Flame Broiled burgers than McDonald's greasy gut bombs. Though, McDonald's does serve better fries.<br> <br> And <i> I</i></b> cook the BEST HAMBURGERS and the BEST FRIES!<br> <br> So there! <p><center> <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">Barrow-Downs</a>~<a href="http://www.geocities.com/robertwgardner2000">Bare Bones</a>~<a href="http://pub41.ezboard.com/btarostineruhir">Tar Ost-in-Eruhir</a>~<a href="http://www.geocities.com/robertwgardner2000/gilthalion.html">Grand Adventures</a>~<a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com/fanfichobbits.asp">The Hobbits</a>~<a href="http://www.tolkientrail.com">Tolkien Trail</a> </center></p>

<BR><br><br> Im sure, if they tried, Outback SteakHouse would cook the best burgers ever. I had some steak there, *drools*, it was so good. Has 17 spices slowly marinated into it.. ahhh why cant everyone make food so nice. <p>"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?

<BR><br><br> We only have McD's here and a Greek &quot;competitor&quot; called Goody's so I can't make a comparison with Burger King. (With reference to someone's earlier comment, there really IS a chain called &quot;Wimpy&quot; in the UK!)<br> How about the following marketing idea:<br> FREE RING with every Happy Meal!<br> Collect the entire set of 3 Elven, 7 Dwarven and 9 Mortal! Send them in to our head office and win The One Ring plus an Oroduin cigarette lighter!<br> I wonder how long before someone opens a Middle Earth fast food chain? <p></p>

Middle Earth Fast Food? You could have Elves as waiters and waitresses...hairy Hobbit feet would just put people off.<P>"Hi, my name is Legolas, can I take your order please? ... yup, right, uhuh. And would you like fries with that?"<P>*dies laughing*

ok ok. . .didn't Tolkien put something in hiw will about not commercializing his stories????<P>this is all soooo evil!!<P>but we can't NOT watch the movies!<P>and I am asking my mom for a Gandalf Action Figure for christmas. . .
