DUmmie FUnnies 09-06-10 (McDonald's drops dollar menu, bobbolink goes bonkers!)
DUmmie FUnnies ^ | September 6, 2010 | DUmmie bobbolink, DUmmies, and Charles Henrickson

Posted on 09/06/2010 8:30:25 PM PDT by Charles Henrickson

I'm lovin' it! A McDonald's in San Francisco drops it dollar menu, and the DUmmies get more stirred up than a Shamrock Shake! This particular McDonald's has been plagued by bums the homeless hanging around all day, and the bums homeless see this move as a not-so-subtle hint to get lost. And the DUmmies, who at least have their mother's basement to live in and Domino's to deliver, are somehwat divided on who's in the right on this question.

But there is one DUmmie, of course, who will automatically side with the bums homeless, and that is none other than DUmmieland's Homelesscoming Queen, DUmmie bobbolink, AKA Bobo the Hobo. Bobo is perhaps most famous as the gal who got Wee Wille Pitt banned for three months, but her main calling in life is to post to DUmmieland and play the Victim Card big-time. "You're all against us! Always picking on us homeless! We're poor, we're homeless--even though I find a way to have an internet connection and post on DU 24/7--we're victims! Now DU something about it!"

Well, this THREAD, "Haight-Ashbury homeless think McDonalds dropped 'dollar menu' to get rid of them," naturally gives bobbolink the occasion to go absolutely BONKERS with her victim spiel!

So let us now head for the Bolshevik Red Arches, where the DUmmies debate who deserves a break today, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, who every so often gets a hankering for a burger at McDonald's and then regrets it a few hours later, is sandwiched in the [brackets]:

Haight-Ashbury homeless think McDonalds dropped 'dollar menu' to get rid of them

[It's a Haight crime!]

The McDonald's at the corner of Haight and Stanyan streets eliminated its Dollar Menu about a month ago, making the items on it too expensive for the people who spend the better part of their day on the sidewalk in front.

[If sitting on a sidewalk in front of a McDonald's is the "better" part of their day, what's the worst??]

"Yeah man, it ... sucks," he said Thursday while sitting foodless on the McDonald's patio with a half dozen hungry friends. "I eat less. I have to get more money. If I don't have a dollar and I want food, I just end up going to a trash can."

[Not much difference, is there? . . . Now to the DUmmies . . .]

Seems the homeless made their own misfortune here. . . . they need to understand that if they then hang around all day, they are going to cost the owner customers who don't want to wade through a homeless camp to grab a meal.

[Bigot! Homelessophobe!]

Where do you suggest they go. . . ?

[Oh, come on! I'm sure there are MANY compassionate, big-hearted San Franciscans who would welcome these less fortunate victims of Rethuglicanism into their homes . . .]

The SF Chronicle is on a propaganda campaign in order to support Newsom's no sit/lie ordinance.

[SF Chronicle, YOU lie!]

the suits at the Chronicle are @ssholes. . . .

[That's a dangerous thing to be in San Francisco.]

Golden Gate Park is right there. . . .

[Golden Arches Park is more convenient.]

So where do people think it's okay for the homeless people to go?

[Here's a novel thought: To work?]

Research has shown that Americans tend to have automatic, subconscious feelings of disgust towards the homeless.

[I have feelings of indigestion towards the hamburgers.]

I have yet to see any situation where people AREN'T offended by having homeless people around. That is just the nature of people's prejudice against any visible signs of homelessness.

[You know, isn't EVERYONE at a McDonald's at least temporarily "homeless"? Otherwise, they'd be at home.]

The McDonalds owner has every right to adjust prices as she sees fit. She is under zero obligation to make less money so that she can make it easier for vagrants to hang around.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I think you joined the wrong website. Heartless @ssholes post at the Free Republic.

[Come join us at Free Republic, the HOME of heartless @ssholes!]

It is prejudice, pure and simple.

[DUmmie bobbolink is here! Man your battle stations!]

I can't even believe we are having to argue this on a "liberal" forum!

[Oh, sure you can, Bobo! You have stated many times that DUmmieland is full of heartless, hypocrite bullies!]

What's not "OK" is that people like you aren't willing to get to the root of the problem, and solve it.

[It's YOUR fault, Mr. & Mrs. DUmmie, that there is poverty and homelessness in America! So FIX it, pronto!]

That would mean HOUSING FOR EVERYONE, and a DECENT STANDARD OF LIVING FOR EVERYONE.

[FREE HOUSES FOR ALL! FREE BIG MAC EXTRA VALUE MEALS FOR ALL! I DESERVE A BREAK TODAY!]

Why don't you just get honest, and campaign to have us all removed?

[Bobo the Hobo is on the WARPATH!!]

What gets me is people, including "liberals", who consider them selves sooooo much smarter, yet couldn't understand . . . they are being played. . . .

[Why do you think we call them "DUmmies"?]

The problem now is to overturn that demonization. But, that doesn't rank up there with all the other causes, does it? It's up to those deemed the poster kids to change it around.

[Bobo takes a sideways swipe at Pitt, the leading poster child of DUmmieland.]

Reborn Calivinists = "Positive Thinkers" . . . Yup, if you think correctly and speak correctly, and work hard to eliminate any "negative" thoughts, you will "succeed". . . . "We love you Calvin, oh yes we do, we love you Calvin, and we'll be true. When you're not with us, we're blue. Oh Calvin, we love you!"

[Calvin and Hobos.]

Maybe that is my problem... I am a cradle Lutheran, and I don't understand the hard-hearted judgmentalism.

[Maybe you need to go back to your cradle, bobbolink, and learn to understand Lutheranism a little better.]

There is a homeless man I have befriended who sleeps behind the dumpster at the local Mexican market. . . . I buy him ice cream or coffee and a doughnut sometimes, and make a point of bringing him home-cooked food whenever I can.

[Yeah, sure you do, DUmmie Raksha. This sounds like one of those fabricated "What a noble progressive am I!" stories.]

Well I already don't give McD's any money so I'm already boy/girlcotting them.

[Boy/girlcotting. . . . It's hard to tell in San Francisco, isn't it?]

I guess everywhere has gotten on the Greed Train.

[And Bobo the Hobo has been tied down on the tracks by Snidely Whiplash.]

When I traveled in Spain, there were public places where the poor could get soap, shampoo, and a towel and could take a shower.

[The rain in Spain goes mainly down the drain.]

USA is #1 in Cruelty!

[WOO-HOO! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! . . . In your FACE, Spain!]

expect war to break out.

[Bobo predicts WAR in San Franciscco! The Homeless vs. the Homed, with the Homos who-knows-where!]

All you have to do is to pay attention to th "priority lists" posted here at DU, and it will become quickly obvious that poverty is NOT on most peoples' agenda.

[And don't try to put "getting a job" on Bobo's "priority list"!]

Is that how you want your mother to have to live out her life? In a dorm????

[Someone had said, "Hell, I'd be happy to live in my old college dorm." So this is Bobo's standard comeback, the guilt-trippy non-sequitur, "Is that how'd you want your mother to live?" Typical bobbolink.]

Sigh... It is just the sheltered simpleton responses around here that make me shake my head... If you think the elimination of the dollar menu is cruel I would be loathe to imagine your reaction to the actual atrocities around the world happening right now....

[DUmmie Cid_B, you get a Kewpie Doll with your Happy Meal today!]

Listen, dude. . . . You wanna talk actual atrocities.... If I had my way, dude, every last woman in the world would be armed so the playing field would be entirely leveled. These male monsters understand nothing but violence. . . . I hope Mother Nature throws this planet off its axis and the pathetic excuses for human male flesh are destroyed forever.

[Listen DUde, I think DUmmie femrap has a small chip on her shoulder--about the size of Greenland--against men!]

I'm sure the owner will have her Karma come back to haunt her. She just might find that her profits go down.

[She deserves to go broke today.]

the homeless aren't homogeneous. . . .

[In San Francisco they are!]

These people are f***ing d**chebags okay. . . . Sitting and laying in cuddle puddles of as many as 20 or more. . . . They are the ones that the sit/lie ordinance is aimed at cuz they are f***ing pieces of sh*t. Just a bunch of punks, who stink and cause trouble.

[Sounds like a DUmmie meet-up!]

And YOU need to "understand" that human beings are PHYSICAL. We ALL have to be somewhere. When YOU don't care enough to fight for housing for everyone, and then want those left homeless because of YOUR lack of pushing for housing, to be banned from BEING anywhere, then YOU are, in effect, telling homeless people to just go die. Yes, it is damned time all you conservatives look at the results of your attitudes. You are leaving no options except for HUMAN BEINGS to die. Beat me up for telling you the truth. I no longer care.

[DUmmie bobbolink has PERFECTED the Victim Card!]

We see the lack of understanding and empathy and concern. WE. GET. IT. You have made your point loud and clear... it is the money that is important. WE. GET. IT.

[Bobo, you see this Quarter Pounder with Cheese? YOU. DON'T. GET. IT.]

And if everybody here had been following my advice about checking out the coupon forums, then you would have gotten yourselves a bunch of 60 oz Whisk detergent for only a buck. $4 at the Family Dollar stores minus the $3 Whisk coupon from a week ago. Bad news is that sale ended yesterday.

Scared me too - if I’m going to be running errands instead of zipping straight home after work, I stop at the McD’s right by my commuter lot for a McDouble. It’s more “rations” than “food”, but it’ll tide me over til I get home.

There are many homeless who chose that lifestyle for some reason.


the suits at the Chronicle are @ssholes. .

[That's a dangerous thing to be in San Francisco.]

LOL.

Yeah, if they wouldn't be asking for handouts, people would not shun them as much.


I think you joined the wrong website. Heartless @ssholes post at the Free Republic.

Well, I guess I am one of those heartless people. How about this DUmmie? I will decide which organization I am willing to donate my hard earned money to.


I can't even believe we are having to argue this on a "liberal" forum! I can.

. . . "Is that how'd you want your mother to live?" Typical bobbolink.]

Better than in the basements of peoples' homes.

If you look in the left hand corner of her sign, you will see in smaller words “I’m with Baby”. So she is pregnant as well. This crap makes me sick.

I knew it had to be the McDonalds on Haight. I used to take my 2 year old to UCSF for cancer treatments in the early 90’s. It was disgusting then. I would never go to the McDonald’s there. That place is crawling with homeless people.

I don't know if there IS a photo of Bobo the Hobo.

frank?

Probably not, and of course some of us suspect the bobbling primitive is a really good--but in some ways too obvious--mole.

I'm giving two links in my next two comments, below; as most know, the bobbling primitive was Top Primitive #02 of 2009, just ahead of Doug's stupid ex-wife, and just behind the greenbriar primitive, and the first link explains that.

The second link shows further research on the bobbling primitive.

So he never got anything from me... not even the advice that he needed but likely wouldn’t have listened to anyway.

It says “I’m not picky,” which is a cue for Captain Obvious....

Yes, but that's not a POLITICAL job--e.g., pundit, journalist, campaign staff--which is what Will the Shill really wants.

I supersized my screen to 200%, and indeed, McNugget Gal's sign does say, "I'm not picky."

BTW, Roscoe and mik, I still expect you guys to work your magic on our photo of McNugget Gal. There's that space right next to her, you know. . . .

Notice how Will suddenly found a regular job soon after I was posting about him being a Trust Fund Kid?

I think this guys brains were pretty well mush, but he still could have performed a useful function. And had I seen him picking up trash and beautifying a public place I’d have handed him a buck here and there for his efforts.

But I won’t pay a guy for sitting around doing nothing. I’ll leave that to the unions. :)
