If only they would merge. Five Guys fries and In & Out's burgers....hmmm

In & Out with Five Guys...

On 2nd thought, maybe not a good idea.

Edit: voted "none"

In N Out of Five Guys? Not really my thing.

Only the Colosseum and what amazed me when I was there is that there is still Roman pavement around the thing that they were driving cars on. Romans definitely knew how to build roads to last.

But it's not an In N Out, it will be something shitty like Mcdonalds or Burger King. Or they'll have some gay "local" crap like a double lamb burger with feta cheese.

Thank goodness for McDonald's in Japan. It was literally the only food my kids, nephews and niece would eat there.

I have seen the Great Wall but IMO the Terra Cotta Warriors were more impressive. Of course the "New 7 Wonders" was tainted by vote-bombing. Statue of Liberty made the finalists but the Terra Cotta Warriors didn't? Bah.

The sad thing is I have very limited photographic evidence of either. My digital camera died (thanks Sony!), so I have a few really bad pictures from a disposable film camera of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and no pictures at all of the Terra Cotta Warriors. But there are better pictures online so it's not the end of the world; the experience and the memories are the most important things.

In N Out >>>> any of the so called "seven wonders" I can't get a delicious as hell protein style burger at the pyramids. I'll take food over visuals any day of the week.

Something I agree with QueBert about? Holy crap maybe the rapture is this weekend...

I have always hated this shitty list.

Most of these "wonders" are man made. Yeah well fuck that shit, there's a tons of things on this planet much more wonderful than all of those combined. Like Yosemite.

And we've fucked up things that were more wonderful - i.e. Hetch Hetchy Valley

All of the Wonders of the World are man-made, no?

I have also been to Ephesus and Rhodes, the locations of two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

anyway, I've only been to the Coliseum. Though, I think the grand Aqueduct should be there in place of the Coliseum.

dude.


that is 100x better than anything InO can make. but replace feta with goat cheese and now you're talking.

QFT. Besides how could you travel and not sample the local food. Some of the best meals I've had have been on holidays. Not that I would buy anything at the touristy spots like that, they have overpriced crap.

Chichen Itza is the only one I have been to. Plan to see them all, but I hate travelling...
