OK, Slacker Staff had a couple of Nutrition bars and a high sugar soda, so they've done the minimum of work required to get the free Happy Meal tonight. [We kid. We never feed the Slacker Staff anything other than baby organic spinach and Bison Burgers. Oh, and dates and dried apricots. For their other nutritional needs, they are on their own. We have heard they love Happy Meals, but they don't get them from us.]
