Jeff R.: 0: The Fool

Ronald McDonald first appeared on television in 1963, the same year Alcatraz shut down and Kennedy was killed. This is not a coincidence.

Apart from the late unpleasantness in Kosovo, (a mere reflection of a higher-order conflict and thus shouldn't count) no two countries both containing a McDonalds have been to war. The pure fool does not battle himself.

Once the count was recorded, more or less accurately, on thousands of signs across the nation, incrementing by millions, then billions. Now they're all over vague, waiting for the halcyon day when the clown serves his trillionth hunk of dead cow.
