Both are far before my time.

Of course, I haven't had american fast food hamburgers in years, so I wouldn't know anyway. :)

Both came out at a time I was actually eating at fast food places.

The DLT, I think it was called, was this nightmare of a stupid sandwich. The whole idea of it was that it was delivered open faced, with the veggies and top bun on one side presumably staying cool and the meat and cheese was on the other, presumably warm. What this actually was meant to achieve, no one was sure.

It was as nasty as anything else they serve...

I didn't mind the Arch Deluxe.

Wow, that sounds like an absurdly bad idea, even for McDonalds. It's like a build your own sandwich. Gah, that's what the high school kids are getting paid minimum wage to do!

Oh.. and since Ray Crock was the one who created the flop of a burger.. I know he was a chef. I remember that part from the show I watched about McD's on MSNBC.. I think it was.

A Hint for Mcfailure.... It was McD's first attempt at making a sandwich that was focused on non-beef eating people.

MC Rib!? Hmm.. that wasn't the one they spoke of on the show I watched. Maybe the one they were talking about wasn't the biggest failure then, just a failure.

on pigs, should have specified male or female pig.

Arch Deluxe was pretty tasty I got it several times until finding out the calories were actually FAR higher than just the plain regular McDonald's even if you Supersized it or something.

Don't know anything about the rest of your questions at all, sounds like really useless knowledge, BUT I have more useless knowledge about OTHER stuff.

People are really impressed with the useless knowledge I have.

I'm just glad I at least got the 7 and deuce off suit question right. But it doesn't really matter with a strong bluffer .. unless the cards are forced.

Tis why I am not (atm) a good poker player. I feel the best weapon in poker is the ability to play off a bluff.. I'm just not a natural liar. For me to be good at poker will take me learning the cards, being confident in my knowledge of the cards and from then on learning the people.

And I'm aware some go direct opposite of what I'm saying.
