I Just Want a McMuffin - Stephen Pollock Last year over spring break I went out to California with my mom. We spent the majority of our time in LA, but we were staying near her office in Santa Monica. On the second to last day of the trip she decided to go in and get some work done, which meant I had the ability to do whatever I wanted for the beginning of the day. I woke up at a decent time and decided I was going to start my day off in the most American way possible, by going to McDonalds. The nearest McDonalds was only a few blocks away.

During his performance he decided he was going to go to the front of the line, and no one objected because the guy was clearly insane.
