Fast Food Meme and ex-bunnies

furtechI've seen the fast food meme that's making the rounds. I've also noticed that the lists don't seem to be the same. Also a definite Western bias: no Mosburger or Curry House or any Asian or South American chains, for example.
I'm so un-picky about my food that I'm more ashamed than proud to say that I've eaten at almost all of these places. Favorites? Uh-- I'd take a good independent anything over most of these chains. At best, they pack no surprises; at worst...uhg. I usually eat at them when friends want to go or for lack of any locals to steer us toward something better.
The ones I -haven't- tried:
Hardee's: I probably have eaten there, but it was -that- memorable.
Kelsey's: Canadian Dennys-- no thanks.
Oporto, Red Rooster: Haven't been to Australia in many years-- Oporto sounds interesting, at least.
Skyline Chili: I avoid Ohio whenever possible; I'll bet even Roz hasn't eaten here!
Tim Horton's: Same as Kelsey's and Hardee's-- could have eaten there but totally unmemorable.
White Castle: These scare me.
Speaking of nasty food: looks like one of the yard bunnies (the trespassing wild rabbits that nibble the back lawn) made a fatal error last night. They're used to my dogs barking and chasing them off...and not killing them. They've gotten complacent and that cost one of them: I found a half-eaten carcass outside my office window ("What's that smell?!!") and some...bunny insides...on the lawn. Positive it wasn't my guys: they are more confused than anything when they actually corner a rabbit or squirrel; they just want to chase and herd. I guess the rabbit got used to the noisy, barking dogs (that only chase, and not very well) and a lucky coyote waltzed in and had himself some hossenpfeffer.
