I've Been Lit Since Kermit Was a Tadpole

Do you know how they say knowledge is power? Well, sometimes it's not. 

I just found out I am older than Kermit the Frog, and that knowledge most certainly didn't make me feel more powerful at all. Older than a green fuzzy sock puppet. Looks great on the CV. 

I am so old (how old are you?) I remember McDonald's Hamburgers costing 15 cents (computer keyboards don't have a cents key?) and you ordered them at a window and ate the food in your car. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers and Coca-Cola and French Fries. When your parents were taking you to McDonald's it was a treat and a special occasion.   

Now, according to CNN, it requires cashing in a bond or two

We've driven past the Mickey D's on I-95 in Darien, Connecticut, and I'm glad we've never stopped. Gas and food? At these prices? Kidding aside, and I should leave the jokes for Kermit I know, all these 'supply chain' difficulties we've been talking about since Trump couldn't wish COVID away and we started stacking bodies in refrigerator trucks because we had no morgue space, seem to really be corporate greed. Again.

Boom, Like That.
