Mr. ePaul Tandberg described a thin leaf of lettuce on his Filet O' Fish -- we call that a slice of American cheese. Only thing green on those sammiches are the bits of pickle in the tartar sauce. I think there were clouds in Paul's coffee. I have never had one of these. It is basically a fish stick sandwich, isn't it? I have seen people eat them and wondered why they were doing so. Tastes like bluegill.

I was trying to lure LJ into ordering one, so I added a vitamin. Best deal is to order them by the dozen. Hot, crispy sliders.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan says Waffle House is like a truck stop men's room that serves waffles.

When my SIL was on the road installing walkway lights in movies, they called them the Awful Waffle.

So, east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio river, how many more Waffle Houses are there than Bob Evans'?
But that's just a conversational question. I'm more interested in Doug's helmet coffee, and wondering if that is why he doesn't have any hair.

One of those things you are issued, like flack jacket which was only used as a seat in a chopper to protect your balls, or a gas mask which I never found a use for but the gas mask bag was good for hauling around extra cigarettes etc. My brother claims that people who were hats go bald. But I know it's genes from your mothers side, if your maternal uncles are bald enjoy your hair while you can.

People that were hats have bigger problems than hair or no hair. A prior life as a hat offers very little useful experience to draw upon. Talk about a karmic jump. it's ridiculous!

... ...My brother claims that people who were hats... ... Once upon a time, I actually was a hat. But, no more! With the support and encouragement of those around me, and aided by the role modelling by that olympian woman on the cereal boxes, I am now mittens, and will eventually be gloves.

Doug, I am so sorry to see everyone taking your comment out of context. It's not fair. I'll try to set things right. On the first sentence, only people who were not asshats go bald, so your brother is only half right. The people who used to be asshats get to keep their hair their whole life, which is relatively short from the constant fumes. So actually, it's better to be bald. Regarding the second sentence, I didn't know your mother, but I'm sorry to hear that her Uncle Gene enjoyed your hair so much. He should have been reported to child services.

I just remembered why I came in here. I think McDonalds food is okay, considering it's a cheap fast food place. I can understand why anyone with kids would want to stay away, though. McDonalds has a special appeal to kids, and after ten or twelve years of being forced to eat there once or twice a week by Haley when she was growing up, I don't know that I ever want to eat there again, unless it's for breakfast.

There is a Waffle house on almost every corner. They are more plentiful in the South than Walgreen's is everywhere else. If you throw a rock at one Waffle house, it will bounce off and hit 4 more Waffle houses. They are all yellow and very easy to see from a distance. My mother believed that hat wearers went bald. She believed a lot of goofy crap, so I am not sure she is a good example of the theory, though. I have never been a hat wearer. That is, I never wore one until I went bald, so there is a cruel twist to the hat wearers go bald theory.

They are all yellow and very easy to see from a distance. ....and there is no other comparison beyond both offering breakfast food. Bob Evans, some time around 20 years ago, went from a cooking establishment to a re-heating establishment. I actually used to like Bob Evans for breakfast. Then one morning I stopped at a Bob Evans in Wabash, IN. I ordered what I usually did back then, which included a waffle. When I bit into the waffle, there was still a frozen middle to it. I called the waiter and said, "Huh?!" The waiter told me that Bob Evans had recently changed the way they did everything. It was about the time Bob Evans went from those big red barn-like buildings with the really nice interiors of fine woodworking in the mouldings and trim, to the one-level, strip-mall looking roadside diners. Now most of Bob Evans' fare is simply re-heated stuff that comes into the restaurants as frozen meals. Not so, Waffle House. The stuff is cooked right in front of you. Beyond that, it's not unusual to see "reg'lars" at Waffle House getting very creative with their meals and telling the cook, "Hey, put some of that ______ on there. Yeah, like that. And some ____ would be good too."

I had no idea Bob Evans was into serving Eggos. Hell, you can do that at home. I went to a Bob Evans in Indianapolis once about 27 years ago and had an ok breakfast but that was before they served frozen food.
Waffle Houses are always packed and some of the regulars do a 2-3 hour breakfast. Lots of coffee flows. They ones I have been to have been pretty good but I prefer the small town café type places where waitress call me sugar and wink at me. I am so easy.

I think their greatest marketing mistake was making "healthier" and "trendier" the priority over flavor. Pleasing the public is a funny thing. They talk about eating healthy, and sometimes they do, but they still go for the burgers, fried chicken, pizza, tacos, and pancakes. Tacos not healthy,dems fightin words amigo. Sorry, Marty! But all the good tasting stuff is NOT healthy. In fact, the better they taste the worse they are for your health Y tacos son los mejores! I'm speaking from experience.
