Dave Thomas was a big supporter of adoption because he himself was adopted. I'm fairly certain most if not all his kids are his own.

Also, Wendy's hasn't had a commercial worth a damn since he died.

Thanks for the clarification. Now I want to track down where I heard that he'd adopted his kids. Maybe it was from someone repeating (that ol' 'they say') what they heard.

Wow, reading the 7-page biography at the Wendy's site, I admire the man even more (even allowing for bias).

Dave couldn't act his way out of a paper bag but his commercials were the best. That whole red wig thing stinks on ice. It's just creepy.

Heh, I have the urge to put a brick or some other high-velocity object through the TV screen every time one of those comes on.

karath: i don't mean to diss you. but the wendy's incorporation took a shit and thus are all the wendy's in my area. any wendy's i've been too elsewhere is fantastic... but not the ones around here.
they messed up my burger, i politely asked them to fix it... they refused unless i paid for a new burger
they gave me the wrong drink, i politely asked for the correct one, they said i would have to pay for a new one.
they forgot to give me my fries, i showed them the receipt and politely asked for them... they accused me of eating them already and said i'd have to pay...
*sigh*

WHAT THE!? Good Lord, that is just appalling! If you haven't already, call in a complaint or two about the store; Wendy's corporate takes poor customer service very seriously. Hell, one of the Dave's 5 tenets is "Respect everyone and just be nice." I'll admit that's not exactly easy to do all the time (only reason I can is because most of our customers rock) but management will give any sucky employees a swift kick in the ass and out the door. Especially if you're polite about it, every employee where I work would take care of all those concerns in record time. Sorry about that Nightwatch, but if you're ever in so-cal talk to me and I'll personally redeem your faith in Wendy's
