They say everything is bigger in Texas, and apparently that goes for everything from HD screens to McDonald’s franchises.  Amusingly enough, both the Cowboys HD screen and the largest McDonald’s built since 1990 are located in Irving, Texas.  The Irving McDonald’s is a supersized fast food seller, covering 7800 square feet and employing 80 people according to owner Heath Massey.  That’s twice the size and twice the head count of an average McDonald’s franchise!

The new restaurant was built on the site of a previous restaurant at a cost of $2.8 million dollars.  The restaurant is expected to bring in about $4 million dollars per year in revenue.  The previous Mickey D’s on the site had stood there for 37 years before being replaced by a colossus.  The largest McDonald’s in the world is located in Orlando, Florida.  No word on whether or not the Irving McDonald’s will host weddings or get any special food items brought in from Japan for their special opening ceremonies.

I guess America builds larger McDonald’s to replace those that have closed in recent years.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
