Chuck: Can't believe I paid $5.00 fer a McChicken. This thing is bone-dry and they didn't even bother to give me one packet of ketchup. I ain't going there no more.
Randal: Tell me about it, in CaliWali I used to buy the hot and ready for five bucks. Now the Hot Carl is $23.00. You roll the dice by ordering it, sometimes there are burnt patches with no cheese, sauce, or pepperoni. Wait time is thirty minutes, even when the joint is empty.

'To pull a Soares' on someone is to arrive significantly late or not show up at all for a casual or recreational engagement, often without prior notice.
"Want to catch a movie tonight?"
"Sure, let's meet at 7 pm."
Later that evening
"Hey, where are you?"
"Sorry, something came up, and I can't make it."
"Are you trying to pull a Soares on me?"
"Let's play together today around 8 pm?"
"Sure, see you there!"
(Later that evening, an hour past 8 pm with no response)
"Damn, you really pulled a Soares on me!"

Successful men must adhere to the 5~S Rule to grow in their fields of expertise.
First thing every morning, and the earlier, the better:
They are:
Shit
Shave
Shower
Shampoo
. . . and
Seize the Day.

Baby, it's 5:00 AM. I've got to do the 5~S's (shit, shave, shower shampoo, seize) and hit the road to continue to soar with the Eagles. You know I can't be all you want me to be if I neglect soaring upward and onward.
