> I have never heard of "Mickey-Ds" refered to as "Macca."

It's an Aussie term I've adopted. I've never liked the name "Mickey-Ds"...too cute. Mom always called it "McDimwits", but that's just inappropriate. I prefer "Maccas". Try saying it a few times. "Maccas Maccas Maccas" ... like eating peanuts.

> I am also a fast food junky; I had McDonald's today in fact. I also love sushi. Maybe it's a California thing, but I've never considered sushi and fast food as exclusive. Of course, I'd never have fast food sushi; that's just a BAD idea.

Of course some people who eat at McDonalds will also enjoy sushi. Granted there are also many folks my age out there who like to eat healthful food. But there are many many people out there who don't enjoy, and sometimes won't eat, food unless it is greasy and covered with ketchup. I thought part of being funny was exaggeration for effect. Your response is a big sign to me that I have failed. But then, my friend thought the email was funny.

Heck, I'm new at this. If once you don't succeed, try, try again.

Beware.
