    Has been the case since the late 90s, yeah? I always assumed it was the direct result of overhead and franchising rights--much cheaper for a couple of bread ovens than all the machines you'd need to run a McDs.

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      Not sure when they overtook McDonald's, but it could have been the 90s. I remember reading something about it in a Subway a while back.

        The only trivia I'm interested in, is Walter still punishing his kids by making them play these games?

          Oh man, I am still laughing about that e-mail from his daughter.

            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Yeah, I panicked, but it wouldn't matter. These ones have been brutal.

                Renoir.

                Tough set of questions.

                  I think I would have got 50% at best.

                      I give up. I can't remember to do these things to save my life.

                        Ha. Both times I've played, my two daughters have participated with me. I'll have to shout out "THIS IS BULL CRAP!" the next time I get booted for a question with a seemingly obvious answer like the Renoir one tonight.

                            Was talking with the Mrs. shortly after I arrived home and she mentioned having seen Jeopardy at someone else's house today (not something she typically chooses to watch). Reminded me about HQ, but I joined in too late. I would have missed at least two of the questions I saw, so it's not like I'm that upset. Maybe one of these times I'll actually notice the notification.

                              That's too bad. I used "hostile1" as my referral code.

                                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
