It was cool that he made his own commercials in the midsts of all that executive work he has. I bet you Ronald McDonald is behind this. You can never trust a guy that hangs with thieves of burgers.

Damn... I wonder how old Wendy is... maybe I can marry her and become Dave Thomas' heir... that would rule... and I'd be married to Wendy.. I bet she makes a mean Jr. bacon Cheeseburger.

Dave will be missed. I had the wonderful oppourtunity to work at one of his 6000 restuarants for three glorious...months.
Does anyone else miss the fresh stuffed pitas? They are gone now! I still like their chicken though. Frosty's are damn good too.
