Subway is one of those places, like KFC, Taco Bell, Rally’s, and a few others, that I wouldn’t mind at all if they just disappeared. Subway is a place that I avoid unless there is no alternative, and even at that, I end up being angry for paying to eat it. I’ve never, ever had even a single decent sandwich from…

Somehow, I hit the genetics lottery in one area and are impervious to greasy stuff and the side effects it has on some people. I can hit a bag of sliders without a toot and I laugh at my old (and I mean SS old) friends who eat a couple of pieces of Long John Silver’s fish and have a night of misery. I eat a couple of…

Limp or not, (I like both, and think crisp fries are overrated, it’s all taste with me )fresh cut fries rule over all others. My now long gone favorite places to go were places you could watch the fries get cut and cooked in front of you. The “Fresh Cut” fries a current favorite has are ok, but not near as great as…

She sounds like my old dog Gus did when I would get out of the car. WTF is wrong with these people? Never mind...

I don’t think you can do much about this when you have street level crossings, too many idiots will gamble with their lives to save a minute or two.

The Ponderosas being so different in quality is the first chain I can remember where one store was so much better than the others. The Ponderosa about 3 miles away from the one near work was just awful. It’s a Golden Corral now, and is even worse. I basically got two things when I ate at the one near work. If the one…

I was surprised when I had a piece of the coconut cake just because they hadn’t “Messed it up” as so many things have been changed for no reason over the decades. The cake itself is good, but if I want a coconut cake, I buy one from a local bakery that is light years better. I freeze it and cut it into 8 pretty big…

I’ve never eaten at a Ponderosa since they went all you can eat. I worked for 4 years at a place just down the street from the best (By far) Ponderosa I have ever eaten at. Run by a guy who really ran a place like it should be run, it was packed from opening at 11am to the 9pm closing time. Of course, management…

I knew how silk was made since about the 6th grade, a long time ago. We watched a movie about it and several other fabrics and how they are grown/made in school and the teacher, whose dad was the local nature guy, who was amazing at seeing insects and snakes others missed, brought in some silkworms with cocoons. I…

When I was about 14, a long time ago, my dad came home from work and parked in the garage, as usual. About 10 seconds after he walked into the kitchen, BLAM! the spring, one of those long ones that run parallel to the door tracks, broke and about 2 feet of it went into the back of the kitchen wall, through it and it…

I just avoid anything M. has done and ever will do, it’s, as my uncle used to say, “It’s not worth the aggravation!”. Every single movie of his I’ve seen has either been terrible (IMHO almost every one of them), or had some annoying as hell plot twist or the ending was kind of a “How the hell do we end this?”, and…

A kind of a sad (IMHO) snack made for delicate people who can’t handle regular popcorn, and those dangerous hulls.

We used to own a house that had a lot of problems, and was in an area where traffic accidents frequently knocked out the power. We had Carbon monoxide leaks twice, and gas leaks in the basement about 10 times, so we frequently were without heat. The one good thing those old incandescent bulbs were good for was keeping…

I got two “I love your car!” comments from people at 11pm tonight about my ‘18 Scat Pack. I rarely go even a day or two without someone asking me about it or saying they love it. I have to admit, I love the thing, even when the trunk lid conks me on the head when the temp is below about 20F. It did it this morning and…

McDonald’s fries USED to be pretty awesome. That was a long time ago. Back before they messed them up. Before they were frozen, before they took the beef tallow out of the oil mix. They WERE fantastic, but not anymore. It’s been a while since I ate at McDonald’s, the fries aren’t the same, the burger buns aren’t as…

I don’t give a shit about superhero movies and have seen a lot of truly awful movies in my near 67 years, but since they killed this thing, I want to see it very badly. Just to see how truly bad it is. Is it Cats bad? Is it possibly worse than Cats (It’s the worst movie I’ve seen in a long long time), or is it just…

Basically, if I like a place a lot, chain or independant) that has Pepsi, it will sooner or later go to the Dark Side (Coke). The lists of Coke places has most of the places I actually eat at, the Pepsi side has Red Lobster and IHOP, both of which I rarely eat at. The other places on the Pepsi list could go away…

I’ve tried a bunch of the beef substitutes and none of them tastes remotely like beef or anything close to it. I laugh at how many times a friend claims, “It tastes just like a real burger!”, so some other nonsense. She bought a regular Whopper and an Impossible and swears she couldn’t tell the difference. Her husband…

That 13.33 was super difficult as pass after pass got the same results, tire spin and terrible E.T, like 3 or 4 tenths off. I always wondered what a pair of slicks and a decent hit of the throttle at launch instead of a slow roll in would do ET wise. My present car is kind of like the T/A, super hard to launch. I…

The T-Tops did make them trash, IMHO. When I was looking at T/A’s to buy in 1981, the first couple I drove had T-Tops and there was a railroad crossing that went diagonally across a road and the flex those cars had was like, “WOW”. I decided no T-Tops for me and soon found a very clean 25,000 mile 1979 403 Olds T/A,…
