That food looks like it would be soggy. :)

(Why yes, I am a girl.)

North Texas-based restaurant chain Twin Peaks Monday revoked the franchise status of the Waco location that became a battleground in a brutal biker gang melee that left nine people dead Sunday, the company said in a statement.

Or maybe what this country needs now is a lit-t-le more of a northern feel, a more country like restaurant:

I’m guessing the restaurant chain was named after that ice cream dessert in the lowed left..??.. :)

Here's something I had not seen/heard in the news coverage of this event:

Gunshots left bodies scattered throughout the parking lot, but it’s not clear if they were killed by fellow bikers or police officers.

It's from this article:

Perhaps they are transitioning their ethnicities the way people do with their genders.

There were no non-gang members hurt, so any damages to them will be primarily any property damage claims.

I guess “Twin Peaks” is not an homage to the old TV series.

New name...

The “Shootout Bar & Grill” has real chalk lines on the floor.

After having taken most of yesterday a day off from the internet, early this morning, to my surprise, I have come upon an article online about a BIG fight by two rival motorcycle gangs in TX. Have not heard of motocycle gangs at all, let alone news of such in MANY YEARS now.

doesn't look like they serve a lot of nachos with that chest platter...

[WayneS]

Not in this case.

The Bandidos have been around since the 60s and they’ve pretty much been all-white most of that time.

[dfwgator]

I don’t see no nachos.

[Old Sarge]

THANK you!

Nothing micro about it!

Also on Sunday, Jay Patel, the operator of the Waco restaurant, released the following statement: "We are horrified by the criminal, violent acts that occurred outside of our Waco restaurant today. We share in the community's trauma. Our priority is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our customers and employees, and we consider the police our partners in doing so. Our management team has had ongoing and positive communications with the police and we will continue to work with them as we all want to keep violent crime out of our businesses and community. We will continue to cooperate with the police as they investigate this terrible crime.”

I think I see the problem here...try reading it like you're talking to "Jay" at the 1-800 Helpdesk.

” Yeah, if they were refused service, the bikers would have just left peacefully. “

Exactly!
