WAS that Stickman Bangkok I saw at McDonalds Pattaya last night?



I have been wondering what the renovations at McDonalds in the Royal Garden shopping center had been all about for a while now. I mean, they were closed for about two weeks and when they reopened you got your Hamburgers with the added bonus of the smell of all kinds of glues and paints, Xylenes and Toluenes thrown into the deal for free. Just when they had reopened and customers did not have to trot over to Hungry Jacks anymore should they want to visit the toilet, they pulled the back section out again to remodel it with glass partitions just to change it once again the next week to be replaced with 60’s theme psychedelic partitions. Anyway, I had wondered why this timewasting remodelling was done. Was it the long bench that now had power plugs in it, one presumes this was done so that McDonalds could finally join us in the 21st century and offer computer users a way to surf the web without sucking the last bit of juice out of  their batteries. Although, as Blacky pointed out, the bench would be useful to boil the kettle or for the real enterprising individual these could be used to heat up cold rice to be sold on the street, offer a mobile phone recharging service while you treat yourself to a Bigmac Happy meal (Come to Maccers, charge your phone and get a Gutful -  could be a great slogan). Anyway, just last night I finally realized the real reason why we had to suffer two weeks of abstinence from Happy Family Meals and chlorinated Cokes, it was Stickman Bangkok. Yep that’s right, the guy that runs one of the StickmanBangkok website, the bloke that the old ladies at T…. V…. despise because he actually says what he thinks and speaks about what’s really out there (sorry SB no pissing in your pockets intended, just coincidental). I am not sure how he did it but somehow he got McDonalds Thailand (or is it even a world wide thing?) to think there is nothing cooler than to run free ads for him in their family establishments. Or didn’t they realize? Well he’s got there anyway so that’s all that counts. T… V…. eat your bloody heart out, I know I am :) Well done mate, would love to have your initiative.

But mate, what is that thingy that you are throwing into the rubbish bin there???Ps. I wonder if I could get a free hamburger for this little plug for McDonalds? That way I wouldn’t have to scour the tables at Maccers for some leftover chips.
