Trick photography...?

Or, What We See in a Picture

So Fry Fry opened at the Mall next to Burger Burger (Inorite? Imagine the ODDS) and I was nosing around as I've been known to do.

While I was snapping pics of the menu, somebody picked up an order. They looked AMAZING. I messaged B with a photo. You can only imagine her response....

"WHO-DAT-BITCH?!?!?!?!?!?"

In all fairness, the exact response was Who are you shopping with and where did those fries come from? but those are only words. We all know what she MEANT.

Men Are Dumb™ and Vastly Dumber Things Involving Dumb Men Have Happened™ but come on now. If I was a Cheating POS (and I'm not, nor do I plan to be ever--let's get that out there?) I would most certainly not be Trottin' Some Side Booty 'round the Most Public Indoor Spot we've got. Just sayin'.

Here's what happened in Real Life.

Me: OMG those look good. Can I get a photo of those for my wife?
Random Girl: Okay.
Me: Only the fries, tho.
RG: *holds them away from herself*
Me: Sorry, only the fries.
RG: *friend of hers moves from the background*
Me: *clicks phone* Thanks. Really appreciate it.


Fingers of potato, honey. Fingers. Of. Potato.

I'm always suspicious of thick cut fries with skin left on - they never seem to be as crispy as they should be. You show me shoestring potato chips and I'll be bowling people over on my way to reach them first . . .

I swear fo' GAWD, you Prairie Canadians.
How 'boat these, eh.....?




Crunchy MINT flavour. Muuaaahaha!

What even is that crap? N'aw man, I'll eat Hickory Sticks if I'm desperate, but give me a crispy, skinny, well seasoned baggie o' fries, and I'm theirs.

Hickory Sticks as a LAST resort?
I'd always been told they were the Center of the Universe! :P

Well, if I want shoestring fries, they're definitely a last resort. But I know that I'm in the minority in that view - there really are folks who will Accept No Substitute.

I hear people's preferences change relative to their distance from the Halfway Tree.

I allow that this is possible, though my sister was on my side of the tree and she was an absolute fiend about the sticks . . .

Put her on the FIRST pickup truck to Brandon. Hurry!
