But now you do. The local McDonald's is featuring a new taste treat called "McPizza." Not only that, but Utah is only one of only two test markets in the country which is now selling it! You Parkites will play an important role in judging the success of McPizza. They're sort of a comparison group for the rest of Utah. After all, it should be no surprise to anyone that most of the state will gobble up the new product. pro-duct. As a native Utahn, I can tell you that we have to deal with the pressures of not being allowed to smoke, drink or hang up posters of Michelle King in a micro-mini. Therefore, to compensate, we'll gobble up anything in a shiny golden styrofoam box. The real test will be health-oriented Park City. McDonald's researchers figure that if McPizza can conquer con-quer the jogging freaks and Granola groupies, then the rest of Junk Food America will fall easily into their clutches. clut-ches. McDonald's is moving aggressively, it would seem, to take over the fast food world. McPizza represents a lightning strike into the domain of Italian junk food. This follows their invasion of the Chicken market. (It has become well-known that the most chicken in the United States is consumed, not by Kentucky Fried Chicken, but by McDonald's.) It won't be long before others strike back. Kentucky Fried Chicken will retaliate against the burger places by developing its own Whopper a 100-pound chicken, bred through gene-splicing experiements at Kentucky Field's secret laboratories. One drum stick alone will feed a family! Pizza Hut is not resting either. They've already introduced in-troduced the Pepperoni and Garlic Shake. They have introduced in-troduced the slurpy treat in a few test markets, and we should know the results as soon as the test subjects have their stomachs pumped. These efforts are not expected to dent the McDonald's empire. In fact, McDonald's, true to its slogan of "We do it all for you" will offer other services besides just food. We'll have McLaundry. Burger warmers can be easily converted to steam-dry cleaners for articles of clothing. Here's an area Kentucky Fried Chicken won't try to get into. Who wants to wear a dress that's Extra Crunchy? The company will also offer help to those millions of Americans who file lawsuits, but then must wait for years while the cases drag through the judicial system. But soon we will have McCourts. We know, thanks to programs like Divorce Court and People's Court that cases can be heard and decided in 30 minutes. If the plaintiff and defendant are really pressed for time, they can present their cases to the little speaker in the drive-in drive-in line. Then, they receive a verdict at the check-out window. win-dow. Looking toward the future, it appears certain that marijuana will probably be legalized. It won't be long, then, until we see McJoints. Not only will restaurants be divided between smoking and non-smoking but the smoking sections themselves will be divided between High and Ground Level. If you're looking for the fast and the cheap, you'll find it at McDonald's. This will continue until the restaurant colossus arrives at its ultimate achievement achieve-ment McTimeshare. It must be a depressing time for you Democrats out there, what with Gary Hart caught diddling with a woman not his wife; Joe Biden acting like the Milton Berle of politics and fibbing about his law background and Teddy Kennedy being Teddy Kennedy. But cheer up! A friend of mine reminded me there's only one difference between the two parties. "The Republicans get caught after they're elected." Sitnnlke a Venun by Teri Gomes A princess by any other name In the past few weeks, the east coast has been abuzz with news of the visiting royals. Quite frankly, I can relate.. .last week I had a princess visit me. I didn't have a lot of advance notice to prepare, and since siie wanted to come stay with me and me alone I didn't share her visit with anyone but my immediate family. Lady McKenzie, as I have called her for years, is a striking brunette with an easy laugh and a great curiousity for the world around her. She traveled light for her overnight stay just one bag and she arrived thrilled to be the guest of honor. When the arrangements had been made for her visit I was told she would prefer a simple meal and so I had prepared a light salad and top sirlion patty, ungarnish-ed. ungarnish-ed. She proposed cheese and of course, since she was a princess I catered to her polite but firm request. The beverage of choice was hot chocolate with "baby marshmellows" a brew I just happened to keep supplied sup-plied in my beverage cellar at all times. Although it has been years, I am not a total stranger to having a princess in the house. Eating meals at dining tables is something the princess is so very accustomed to. I decided to try a refreshing change of pace, for her at least.. ..I let her get all settled in the easy chair in the living room and then I prepared a tray with her meal and took it in to her. She was delighted. I don't mean to brag, but over the years I have learned a few tricks that I feel are universally admired ad-mired by princesses. The one area I have found which causes every regal lady distress is the final waking hour. Maybe it's all those old stories about the princess and the pea or whatever I don't know exactly. But whenever it is time to prepare for bed, every princess I have ever dealt with becomes, well, fussy. Generally it's not the accommodations.. accommoda-tions.. .they often come with favorite pillows, even blankets. The more eccentric have stuffed toys tucked in their valise. No, the dread fear at bedtime comes mostly from the great sadness each princess feels at the end of another day. Some weep at the thought. Traditionally they stall. They need a nightcap, if only water. They need comforting, comfor-ting, soothing words upon retiring and the most precious of princesses needs company in very same room with them until they fall fast asleep. I have dealt with a number of royal ladies in my day, in fact, one quite intimately in-timately and I know the royal pattern. It does not disturb me. And should the princess call out in her sleep, as this one did, I have learned to go from my own bed and stroke her hair until she returns to a peaceful slumber. There is an angelic beauty which comes over the face of a sleeping princess. When witnessed in the nighttime shadows, it can erase all the memories of less-than-perfect princess behavior in their often hectic day. And it strikes a vein with me how lucky I was to have my friend Judy arrange to have Lady McKenzie spend the night at my house. A princess at age four can remind one of the princess still within at age 14. Both are fragile and need extra attention but the rewards a smile or hug or best yet, a princess' good deed, can warm a heart. Fergie, Di, McKenzie, Jenny, we would know you as princesses no matter what your given name... iUN-r Dinner 6 a.m. Midnight 7 days a week MONDAY Spaghetti Dinner $3.35 Tossed green salad, vegetable, i ai in uicau.
