Lil John must be the chef there. Skeet skeet skeet!

Finally, a good use for McDonald’s burritos. Pull!!

Wow, regular gas for just 3.08?

Tee-hee…thru…a little hamburglary afoot?

I wonder what they were trying to say?

McSkillet burito….maybe?

Maybe they actually skeet in their burritos.

It’s really depressing how illiterate people in this country are. But it makes for wonderful comedy!

Mesquite? Maybe?

I hate the use of “thru” instead of through. How hard is it to get it right?

In Soviet Russia Burrito Eats Your Skeet!

Where is this? I want gas for $3.08 a gallon.

I’m not sure categorizing something where someone obviously messed with the letters after the store put them up really counts as a fail…

‘Thru’ is actually the American variant for ‘through’. It’s part of the Noah Webster tradition of changing American English so that it is not British.

I know a few McDonald’s workers. That sign is very accurate.

Are you sure the fail isn’t with the gas price?

I loves me some skeeter bereetoes!!!!!!!!!

You guys actually change English just so it’s not British?! You lie. It’s obviously to make things easier to spell. Obviously it messes around with derivatives (how do you get cenTRal from cenTER?) but hey, most of you can’t spell your watered down version of a proper language, so let’s not get into all the reasons why American ‘English’ sucks. It’d take forever, and I’d lose you halfway THRU

People in the rest of the English-speaking world are actually familiar with ‘thru’ - McDonald’s uses that spelling on all its stores. There’s no attempt at all to adopt local practices.

In my more cynical moments, I see it as “cultural imperialism”

Ha.. erm, I’d rather not. Well,nevermind, I’d eat a skeet burrito for 3.08 gas, lol.

Um…Jimminy? If you can drop the “e” off the end of “centre,” certainly we have every right to take it out of the middle.

I’m studying lingustics, and I find it kind of offensive to say that American English is not a proper language, by the way.

In my opinion there’s no real “proper” way to speak a language since there’s so many dialects. It’s just what works best for the population speaking that language. For example, I have a friend from Argentina who tried to speak Spanish with a guy from Columbia and he could barely understand what the guy was saying, the dialects were so different. To say that, oh, the only proper way to speak English is the British way, or the only proper Spanish is the kind they speak in Spain, the only proper French the kind they speak in France, etc, etc, is a bit ridiculous and elitist.

So THAT’S what happened to Skeet Ulrich. What a way to go.

wow so funny i am trying so hard not to burst into tears here. the first comment - genius.

skeet skeet!

The sun has set on what’s left of the britass empire.
Jimminy, You can take it on the chin or up the ass - Frankly we don’t care. Toodles bitch.

no they mean cum

Rare delicacy perhaps?

FUCKING NIGGER

fucking asshole.

Epic comeback, JI. ;-}

If you look closely, there is three big numbers, and a little number.
I think the little number is meant to be a decimal
for me it look like 308.9
but that seems ridiculously expensive.

@Jason
Actually, “thru” started off as an abreviation.

@Jimminy
I would like to defend myself for a moment. I speak (and write) what I like to call British American English. I write theatre but also center. I write color not colour but I have begun to write realised rather than realized, probably from reading so many British and Austrailian books. I am literate and I hate short speak and fake words that have become real words like thru. I am also American. I do agree with you that the English language is being butchered, at least in the U.S. I can not say anything about England as I haven’t been there, yet.

We may surprise you, since in England we speak English, not British. I’m not entirely sure what they speak in ‘Austrailia’. We don’t generally use ‘can not’, but instead ‘cannot’. However, language is a changing thing, and should be treated with flexibility of approach. But what the fuck is ’skeet burrito’ supposed to mean?

@NOYB NOYB, I don’t think it’s $3.08 a gallon… it may be a litre
‘Cause that’s a BP (British Petroleum)… which I’m not sure exists in the U.S…. who still use gallons, unlike most other countries.
And yes, my grammar isn’t great… but BGAH! The english language is definitely going into a devolution… which will probably make it even harder to learn! XDD

Oh, please! You mean “there ARE three big numbers”.

Holy Hannah, I find horrifically agitating when people can’t differentiate between plural and singular!

@Frederick As a matter of fact, There are BP Gas stations in America. I’m pretty sure that it does mean $3.08 a gallon. We have a BP station right up the street from the house.

A skeet burrito is steak. Obviously, sumbudy monkied wid da sine.

Yo wtf, like dude. I dont eat yo skeet….
