So, QuadG his wife Fabiola and I were bombing down Hwy 101 on the coast Saturday afternoon trying to make Lonster's for dinner, and my bladder said it was time to make a quick pit stop!
As we passed through numerous little towns on the coast, I spotted a Burger King with easy access and called the pit stop.....no eating (as we were headed for dinner anyway), just a quick stop for relief.
I ran in to do my business, and when I came out.......there was QuadG standing in the Burger King looking at the ceiling and he said "I want that!!". I looked up, and my jaw dropped..........."Me too!!". Now then, it was midafternoon......so the place wasn't crowded, but there were a few people lounging around. QuadG started in........"how do we get it?", "maybe we can just snatch it and run"..........."what if you caused a distraction, then I grab it and get outside"........me "I can reach it I think, but no way to do it discretely".......let's go outside. So now we're standing outside the Burger King looking through the window like two little kids staring at a toy they know they can't have! Our conversation continues........."you get in the car and get ready to take off.......I'll go in, snag it.......and we jump in the car and make a run for it" "do you think they'd call the cops??", while we were discussing strategy........Fabiola comes out from the restroom, overhears our conversation and just turns and walks back inside.............. (we didn't know why, and didn't learn the following until after she came back):
Fabiola at the counter of the Burger King: "Can I speak to the Manager?"
Scared kid behind the counter: "Is there a problem with your order???"
Fabiola: "No, I just need to speak to the Manager"
Scared kid: "we can take care of whatever you need....please what can we do?"
Fabiola: "I just need to speak to the Manager........."
Manager: "Can I help you? Is there a problem?"
Fabiola: "You see those two crazy guys standing outside the Burger King?"
Manager: "Yes"
Fabiola: " That one is my husband, and those crazy guys collect "quad" which is some kind of old music....and they want that sign!"
Manager: (relieved!!) "you can have it..........." walks over and takes the sign down and gives it to Fabiola!
Fabiola thanks the Manager and walks outside to the two of us......."Here" giving the sign to Gerardo "can we go now?" QuadG and I gushing........"wow!!!! You got it!!"
Me: "damn Gerardo, that is one hell of a woman you have there!!!:sun That sign is sooooooooooooooo cool!!! I want one too........Fabiola will you get me one at the next Burger King........pleaseeeeeeee!"
So, if you want your music.........more meaty, more cheesy, more bacony.....you just have to go QUAD for the biggest, baddest music around!!!
Thanks Burger King!!!! (and Fabiola!!)
QB
ps: I got one too yesterday!!!!! Just asked the Manager of a Burger King here in San Diego!! It now graces the Quad Shack for eternity!!
