I would say most people go to a restaurant for convenience, for something different to eat, for atmosphere, and for good service. Saturday I went to Applebee's for lunch. The server came by in a reasonable period of time and took my order... so far, so good. Then it all went to hell in a handbasket. I ordered one of their new "combos", which is your choice of an entree and a dessert for one price. I got the Southwest Chicken/Raspberry cheesecake combo. It took a long time to get my food and the place wasn't that busy for that day and time. The cheese on top of the chicken was burned to ash on the edges. It actually disintegrated into black dust when I cut it. The pico tasted old. It was all soft and watery. The cheesecake was on a plate that had two spots of dried-up green stuff on the side, and some kind of brown dried up stuff, topped off with fingerprints and and like waterspots, or soap spots. That's when I decided it was time to say something. "I sat here and ate my chicken, which was burnt, and the pico, which was old, but look at this plate. What the hell is this dried up green $h!? It's nasty, and I'm not eating it!" He apologized and brought me another piece, which was fine. Normally, I don't hold the server accountable for the cook's mistakes, he didn't bring my food out, so he couldn't have known because I didn't say anything at first. The nasty dessert plate though, anyone could have seen how dirty that plate was. He brought it out anyway, and for that, I left him a crappy tip. What does it take for you to complain in a restaurant about things? Was I being too prissy?

Oh, these new smilies are gonna be a hoot. Fly, I couldn't tell you were kidding either, and I just posted a personal thread recently as well, so I was paying attention to your "myspace" post. I'll take one of those pills too. Fly... nice parrot. African Grey? :AH-HA_wink:

Chicken, the Cummins diesel in the Ram is an inline 6, not a V configuration.

Yeah, you've all heard this... 135 in my GTI.

OK, let's name a car or truck you like from a company you don't. You can name multiple companies, but one example from each. Here I go: Toyota FJ Cruiser

I cannot believe I'm ahead of ya on that, even on the girlie side! I've been to at least 3 with girlies, 3 or 4 with boys. (Ew, I said boys only as opposed to girls, everyone was legal.)

Aww... see? Sixty8's such a BOY. Isn't that cuuuute? Just teasing, 68. Sounds fun!

Perhaps a nice compromise is in order. How about one of those really cool Kodiak pickups?

No, you're the icing, Teddy. :AH-HA_wink: Happy Birthday Mr. Doane Ax Me No Questions!

I'd love to see a video presentation of that car gradually taking off down the road and watching that sexy looking wing topple and disintegrate into a million splinters.

When everything is boiled out of the pot and the steam clears, this is what you have left: what makes your d*** hard? It happens from time to time for all of us guys, but what makes it happen? That's how you know which way to point it in pursuit of happiness. That's how you know how you're made.

Your cousin's lucky that wasn't a t-top car.
