 December 4, 2010 - 7:11pm | I pretty much consider both to be lubricating grease for lubing the bowels- I pass on both. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 December 4, 2010 - 7:34pm | you make that sound so yummy... lol The bombing starts in five minutes. |
 December 4, 2010 - 9:25pm | Waffle House. " 'Beware the Beast, Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport, for lust, for greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours.

 December 6, 2010 - 3:04pm | My shift doesn't permit me to wake up early enough for breakfast. Out here we have Blueberry Hill restaraunts that simply mop their floors with Denny's & IHOP. Back in my "intestines of iron" college days, I found that Denny's had cuter waitresses with skirts compared to IHOP's baggy pants and apron servers...so that's how I determined which one I'd frequent. |

December 7, 2010 - 4:11am | Of course, Denny's was merely the option if I didn't feel like driving as far. Las Vegas Blvd was four blocks west of where I lived in college, Denny's was just a block down the street from campus. As such I usually opted for casino coffee shops, whose waitresses also had Denny's grade skirts but with the extra added bonus of Keno girls strutting about in shorter-than-Denny's skirts...and along the way to & from the coffee shops you could ogle the cocktail waitresses who wore shorter-than-Keno cheeky-short skirts. Yah, even Denny's came up short in that regard.  |

 December 7, 2010 - 4:45pm | When I was living in Hendersonville, NC, there was nothing like going to Waffle House after work for a plate of pork chops and fries for about 5 bucks. So I too have to say ..der...Waffle House. "Hey guys I wonder what this does"-Famous last words "Hey guys, I think it's friendly." -Famous last words "You go on ahead, I'll catch up." -Famous last words "Did you here that?" -Famous last words |
December 7, 2010 - 4:56pm | Even after working there, I have to agree. Hash Browns cooked in butter, scattered well, double covered and topped, sausage and cheese sandwich on buttered toast, cheese grits, coffee.... Damnit, now I'm hungry for Waffle House, and the nearest ones to me are in Catoosa and 71st and Mingo in Tulsa. " 'Beware the Beast, Man, for he is the Devil's pawn.

 December 7, 2010 - 8:56pm | Does it have to be one or the other? 'Cuz I prefer my own kitchen. ;) The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of

December 8, 2010 - 5:30am | The waitresses at the Denny's in Muskogee wear slacks, BTW. Well, things tend to be a bit more flashy here.  |
December 8, 2010 - 9:03am | Does it have to be one or the other?

December 8, 2010 - 9:40am | If its oggling you want, can I suggest the Sonic in Hendersonville, during the summer when they have rollarbabes who bring your food to the car.

December 8, 2010 - 10:07am | If its oggling you want, can I suggest the Sonic in Hendersonville, during the summer when they have rollarbabes who bring your food to the car. We have a Sonic on Rt 1 (its either Pebody or Lynnfield at that stretch of road) and they've screw up 2 out of two times that I've gone through the drive through looking for a quick fix while going to a delivery- I'm sure the 3rd time will be the charm and cause me to put them on the list of places I dont go to.

 December 8, 2010 - 12:11pm | Depends on where I am. When I lived in New York (Long Island) it was IHOP. In Texas it was Denny's. During my brief time in Washington State it was Starbucks (expensive). Now in Alabama so it is Waffle House. Of course for fast and greasy then you must go with the White Castle/Krystals. Babe watching at Sonic? Really? Go to Hooters and order nachos and coke and pretend to talk to your buddies. That's why they built the place and went to the Supreme Court so they won't have to hire male waiters. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
December 8, 2010 - 1:25pm | ...and if you like the Hooters restaraunts, you'll love their casino! |

December 8, 2010 - 4:21pm | ...and if you like the Hooters restaraunts, you'll love their casino! Which reminds me...which one do you work at, Shadow? If you want women of easy virtue, I still say go with Waffle House. I've yet to have a screwed up order from the Sonic here in Wagoner, but, then again, I always talk loudly, slowly, and use words of one syllable when speaking into the intercom.

You're assuming Georgie knows how to cook.(Just kidding, Georgie). I have to fill up the van for Wally Worlding tomorrow anyway, so it will probably be either Sonic or Boom A Rang's, since I'm now hungry for chili cheese tots.

December 8, 2010 - 8:22pm | I prefer my oil drum sized charcoal grill w/smoker box. I fill it with wood and charcoal and it does the job quite well. The food turns out better, and wives tend to frown upon the skirt-gazing anyways.  Will, you might find me lurking up on the north end of the Strip at the fabulous Riviera. Before that I used to work at the Monte Carlo (aka "the Holiday Inn with nicer wallpaper"), Imperial Palace (that place almost looks like a swastika from the air...seriously, look up "3535 S. Las Vegas Blvd LV, NV 89109" on goggle satelite etc), a summer at the off-strip Continental (now Terrible Herbst's), and a very brief stint at the Landmark. I never actually worked that last one --- I got hired, they kept calling me in, and when I got there they sent me back home each time. After three of those, I turned down the fourth and each following one. It was quite humorous when they terminated me, they demanded that I turn their uniform in or they'd hold my final paycheck. Yeah, I'm gonna waste time and gas to turn in a uniform for a piece of paper that says "$0.00"  I wonder if my Landmark uniform is worth anything on E-Bay, I found pens from the Dunes selling for $10-15 each there... |

You're assuming Georgie knows how to cook.(Just kidding, Georgie). My brother-in-law has a buddy who raises chickens and hogs, so I have access to farm fresh bacon and eggs nearly anytime I want them. You wouldn't want one of my omelets until after I did 8 or 9 practice attempts, but even the bad ones are fresher then anything from a resturant. Especially in the summer time when the farmers market is open. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of

Especially in the summer time when the farmers market is open. Nothing like fresh off the farm.... Now, as for your omelets, it all depends on what goes into them; i.e. leave the veggies for the rabbits and give me lots of meat, cheese and taters in my omelets. Bet you get some pretty good sausage, ham and pork chops from this guy too. " 'Beware the Beast, Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport, for lust, for greed.

December 9, 2010 - 5:31pm | Ah freshness at a restaurant. I work as a cook at Cracker Barrel (one of my jobs I have about three or four). Somethings are so fresh I think there is a farm out back. OTHERS well let's just say I don't think human hands touched it until I reheat it to serve the customers. There has got to be an SF adventure in differences of the different races foods. Forgot the name but anyone ever read a book about a chef aboard a space station and his interactions with several races. Oh and he wasn't human but some big rhino looking thing. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
December 10, 2010 - 10:39am | Hmmm, the life and times of the famed Yazirian chef Garat Blakstok, curse words and all. It would make for an interesting adventure. Food service always makes for an interesting adventure. "Green meat on my grill, and she says. It's food costs, cook it anyway. Green meat on my grill, I cry. And, the customers all ask why? Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why Why don't you try the pie." (sung to the tune of "Greensleeves," if anyone's wondering) " 'Beware the Beast, Man, for he is the Devil's pawn.

 December 13, 2010 - 1:21pm | Here in KC, it was Perkins, unless you wanted pancakes or waffles, then it was IHOP. We'd get done at the gaming store (around 3 or 4 in the morning), and go out for coffee and food. Still, for quality - my own kitchen (I was an apprentice chef, so I by far prefer my own cooking. Besides, I know what goes on in kitchens...). Long live the Frontier! |
December 13, 2010 - 6:45pm | I'm betting that there is no such thing as a board of Health in the Fokrik system (humma home system) nor are there any standards for food handling- even resturants that cater to off worlders will be tempted to cut corners on food safety I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 14, 2010 - 2:23am | Besides, I know what goes on in kitchens... Moreso when you get an offensive customer. Not that I condone such behavior, but I do have to question the logic of those that intentionally mess with the person who serves them food...be it repetitious poor tipping or blatant mistreatment (public/loud/boisterous berating, etc). Some people really deserve what happens in the kitchen. |

Some people really deserve what happens in the kitchen. Simple, they're poor service workers who obviously have nowhere to go but down, so it's okay for the customer to treat them like excrement. Least, that's their point of view. I have to say I've never loogied in a customer's food, but I have had the law take quite a few away to jail in hopes of learning better manners. Without specifying race, my least favorite were the loud, rude, obnoxious ones who came in howling packs, shouted over each other, changed their orders eleventy-seven times, asked idiotic questions like "y'all got fries, right"(when every entree on Waffle House's menu is pictured with freakin' hashbrowns, and there are french fries on the menu), asked for hot water to dunk their silverware in, or demanded plastic to-go silverware to eat with, put their cigarettes out in their plates, made a mess of things and left me a buck. Maybe. Me, I'm always considerate of my server and tip rather more generously than I should, on account that her next customers will probably be the loud rude howling pack mentioned above, or at least, one of its cousins.
