Q1: It would only be a successful hack if I could get Mac & all the other bad-burger places to leave the damn mayo off their already bad-burgers.

Q2: Era gives it away.

Q3: I & all the rest of the earth & space-aliens too probably know about the meat dress, but otherwise ATA.

Q4: Mispronunciation bugged but didn't stop me.

Q5: Thought I'd heard or read it was elder-Bush, but would call up +1.
