Looping around the world, from Shinjuku Ni-chome to Kabuki-cho, the craving begins again for hamburgesa and fast.
Mega Mac they call it. Limited edition item much bloggers do cover well. Basically, a Big Mac plus two extra patties where it matters the most: in the middle.
Kabuki-cho McDonalds. A resting place for the wasted, dusted, and drunken. We wanted No Smoking section, but it firmly smelled like the dead ass mummies of a million oyaji down there.
Pheremone Hige center guys gather about the value meal set outside, contemplating trim and McFlurry. Or so it seems.
The next morning, my palate is all happoshu and chopped onions. A clink. A clank. Someone (Col. Baldwin?) slips it though the mail slot at Draft One: the new issue of Men’s Knuckle.
Inside is a photo spread with the telling caption
“I Want to Eat a Mega Mac at the Center Of the World”
I got a MEGA MAC coupon in Shinjuku the other day! I didn't take advantage... (poor choice). I had bad tempura or something instead...
What's the name/location of a good arcade in Kabukicho? I'm ryugakusei-ing it until August so I need to find someplace that's not going to rip me off (too badly).

I think Makudonarudo tried this Stateside a few years ago. Oddly enough, I don't think it took off. Strange that it would in Japan.
Right now in California they are pushing a 1/3 lb Angus burger. Sort of like the "Six Dollar Burger" from Carl's Jr. I don't know if it's a success or not...I don't eat red meat anymore so I can't tell you if it's any good or not. It's Makudonarudo, though...can't really get your hopes up.
I get this feeling that if In N Out Burger made it to Japan it would be a hit. However, it would likely be quite expensive considering the need for high-quality lettuce, tomato and onion.

It's not mine, and that's all I can say about that (although I do have a pleather Jackrose shoulder bag...).

Is that just a cracked out way of saying you want to "build a city in the center of the milky way?"
Dude has ADD so he can only wait for like five minutes. Hence the fast foodage.
