Linked To A King

A few days back a friend wrote a note on facebook asking people to add memories of their time together. Immediately I thought of our occasional lunch trips to Burger King. Surely there are better memories than our BK trips, even though these were lots of fun, to share with her. Trying to think of better times to actually type out I stumbled on the realization that my life has been linked with the ‘king’ of burger joints for quite some time.

Way back in high school a group of us frequented the local Burger King almost daily during our spare and lunch. Lots of fun was had both at the restaurant and on the drive. Plus it was a great escape from the school area and all the crap that went with it. Then when I went to university there was a Burger King close to where I was living (and not far from the school) that I made full use of. They also gave a deal to students so that was an added bonus. That was where I almost met my Burger Queen. (A fun drinking story I will get to later). The next year one of my housemates found a BK that was open 24 hours so we were able to fill our hunger at all hours, even if it was a 20 minute drive. We frequently did at 2 or 3 in the morning. Even my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) entertained our midnight cravings of BK and drove our drunken asses the 20 minutes a few times a week.

After all this, I guess I can just go ahead and add my BK story in answer to my friend’s query. As sad as that may seem.
