Name: David
Age: 49
Place of Residence: Dallas TX suburb

Favorite Fast Food: Dairy Queen, controversial opinion in Texas, but Dairy Queen uses whole onions and lettuce, Whataburger does not. And that is why Dairy Queen is better. I even like In & Out Burger better than Whataburger for the same reasons. I can't say that out loud in Texas, it may get my butt whooped. McDonald's suck. Ketchup does not belong anywhere near a hamburger.

Favorite NBA team: I only watch the NFL, and college sports

Favorite Movies that can be watched again and again: The Martian, Few Good Men, and of course Shawshank.

Favorite TV series: Ozarks, or MindHunter on Netflix

Fun Fact about me: I own a 1967 Pontiac GTO. And it is awesome. : )
