Fast Food

I was trying to remember who had the slogan, "Have it your way!". At first I thought Burger King, but I think theirs is something about being made fresh. Dairy Queen, maybe? I know that, if I'm writing this, I'm connected to the internet and could look it up, but that somehow feels like cheating, so I won't.

Anyways, I've been organizing my pictures, and here's how the categories break down so far:
  • Details - textures, colors, shapes that I happened to notice
  • People - uh, that one's mostly people
  • Scenery - a lot of buildings, but some other scenery-ish stuff, too
  • Art - mostly sculpture

I have quite a few in some of the categories, though (scenery and people), and started to try to work through my people ones to pick out the keepers. Here are the categories I've got as I've been narrowing them down:
  • Body language - I noticed them because of how they were sitting, standing, or moving
  • Children - wee ones
  • My favorite faces - we all have one
  • Style - people I noticed because of something about their personal style... good, bad, or otherwise
  • Italians - people who just really, really looked Italian to me, and kind of captured the feeling of the city
  • Lost - people looking at maps. It's better than it sounds.
  • Phone - Italians looooooove to talk on the phone, and here's proof
  • Pictures - yeah, I know: they're all pictures. But these are pictures of people in pictures, but no pictures of people in pictures of pictures, which would clearly be just too much.
  • Setting - it wasn't so much who was there, it's was just where they were
  • Tourists - see them coming from a mile off
Anyways, I was trying to decide which ones to edit and post next, and I thought I'd try something a little different. If you have a preference, just tell me in a comment and when I get enough votes/a vote (depending on how things go), I'll edit and post those ones.

Your way... kind of like Burger King. Or maybe Dairy Queen, except without ice cream. And not quite like Subway, because I won't make you stand there and tell me how to edit them before I post them. It's like the very best of the fast-food world, and how can we go wrong with that?

So, polls close when I get enough votes to form a consensus, get a vote from Erin, or get tired of waiting, whichever comes first. And since I don't really like visiting facebook, any facebook comments will be warmly appreciated but disregarded in the whole voting thing. I'm sure you understand.

I vote for details, scenery, and lost.

I like to play this little game called "Sing the Song as Soon as you See the Sign", which involves corporate logos and their accompanying slogans/jingles. So here you go:

Burger King - have it your way
Dairy Queen - we treat you right, or the much less cool "DQ something different" or "Hot Eats, Cool Treats"
Subway - eat fresh

Okay, sweetheart, this is just for you...

My vote: Details

Unfortunately I don't have anything particularly clever to say at the moment, so I'll just leave it at that ;~)

Yours.

Two votes, some jingles, and an Erin. Details it is...

I believe Have it Your Way is Harvey's. And how is one to decide?! This isn't Sophie's Choice here!

Details & Style! Could almost pass as a band name actually... Better stop there before this gets too far.
