I’m sorry I missed that show.

I have my own measure of how good or bad the current economy is at any given time.

The drive thru indicator.

If when you go to the drive thru at a fast food establishment and find the people taking your order and actually delivering what you ordered, English speaking, competent, friendly and successful in doing their job, the overall economy is really bad.

When they can hardly understand you or you them, your order is messed up and the food is substandard, the overall economy is doing great.

hmmmm. Good point on the Drive Thru. Though, usually I go to Chick-Fila, which would be the exception to the rule.

I'll need to pick up a Big Mac and see what's there. :-)

Yeah, I'm searching the memory banks and can't recall the show's name....

The "artist" used to do things a month at a time and videotape himself ..."A month on Minimum Wage" "A month eating at McDonald's" "A Month working on a hog farm" and so on.

Interesting premise, except that he just couldn't stop himself from taking artistic licence and trying to "improve" on the story. While it might be fun, or worthwhile trying to do yourself, someday, it's not really worth trying to track down the show and watch him do it. :-)
