Default Huge Ronald McDonald...

...on the top of the Bricktown McDonald's. What's up with this? I thought it was originally just for the opening or some promotion or something but it was still there when I drove by this weekend. So the Bricktown design committee gets them to build a brick establishment with low signage but allows them to put a huge, inflatable, yellow clown on the roof? Is there anything that can be done about this?

I had bad experience with that place. It is run by kids.

Plus, I had noticed the flaw with the drive-thru. When approaching the first window, it is right there at the turn, which you don't really have room to get close to the window. I've seen many damages on a pole at that turn.

After getting your meal, when you exit, it is highly dangerous to be hit by an incoming vehicle on the left.

There is excessive speed bumps.

I saw that huge clown at the top and it was helpful for me to locate. lol

Oh GAWD, if you want to, just drive by and shoot the clown.

All McDonald's are packed with young employees. That's the only people that will work there. I worked there for all of 3 weeks when I was 16 and decided that bucking hay was more money and less stressful, so I went back to that as well as working at a feed store.

In my opinion, this one is an exception, plus one on the turnpike.

There are plenty of McDonalds that have mature employees, and young people that is really mature.

This one in Bricktown, these kids, all they could do was stare in shock with their mouth open.

The one on the turnpike, I was coming back from Tulsa late night and I didn't realize how close I was to OKC. I stopped by this rest place, which have a gas station and McDonalds. I slept in the car for a short time, then decided to get a milkshake. Well, when I drove up to the first window, this one boy turned to look out the window and screamed. He was absolutely scared to death, jumped back and just screaming.

It's Halloween for me all year round. lol

An "inside source"?

No...I'M THE SOURCE! I'm the new mascot.

I'll be wearing nothing but a hockey mask and jockstrap while carrying a 6' staff with a lightning bolt hanging off of it. People will call me the "THUNDERWEAR SAVIOR" and I'll run around smiting the other team's players mightily about the head and neck with my "Staff of the Penultimate Apocalypse", signalling their impending demise. Then I float an air biscuit right behind their bench, killing them all. That would be the THUNDER baby!

It's going to be EPIC.

You'll be the mixture of Mr. Death and Friday the 13th's Jason breed for this epicful mascot. All you do is just stand there and glare at the opponents.

Jockstrap? Is this the men's version of a thong?

They were going to put a giant inflatable Richard Simmons up there however, it was already reserved for a pool party at the Habana Inn.

This is all just pre-positioning for a future run at public office here in Oklahoma, isn't it?

I didn't even know there was a McDonald's in Bricktown. Which shows you how often I go down there. :P
