This is right down the road from me. Surprising really because we usually don’t see this type of stuff on our side of the causeway. Crime like this usually stays on the other side in Mobile. I guess the nest is getting ready to move...

When I lived in CA, I had some friends in Salinas whose kids would have to remind their parents not to dress them for school in certain colors for exactly that reason.

Some day, it will be open season on gang vermin. That's why I keep my 'fire irons' all clean and sighted in...

If the ones in Fla are like the ones here in Bama, they have a sign on the door stating “No Firearms Allowed on Premises”.

When I go on a business trip, I try ahead of time to find a motel that's near a Waffle House.

That usually narrows it down to "Super 8" and "Motel 6".

ChuckECheese use to be fun for my kids 15 years ago.. but it has become a feral jungle lately.

“I know ‘covered, smothered ‘, but what is ‘chunked’?.................”

That’s when your stomach can’t handle the “covered, smothered”...and it comes back up.

Post this in the window..............

How Wawful!

[aces]

smothered and covered

[TBP]

Waffle House???

[rktman]

0200 covered and smothered works. Don’t have any near us. Or any Cracker Barrels. How come they haven’t been forced to close with a racis’ name like that?

[COBOL2Java]

That usually narrows it down to "Super 8" and "Motel 6".

Yep!

[Tudorfly]

When I see the “no carry here,” signs, I have one or a combination of these reactions: ignore it; take my business elsewhere; presume the business is run by fools; presume the business is run by liberals...which goes back to the previous reaction; presume they want to be robbed.

I've never seen a Waffle House with a rifle before.

I've seen an IHOP with a grenade launcher, but never a Waffle House with a rifle.

Then he was told "you have to put your foot on the brake and push the button to start it".

Everything old is new again. I remember on some old stick shift cars, you had to depress the clutch pedal, which pressed a button on the floor to start the engine.

[pepsi_junkie]

That would have caught me as I never had a stick with that feature. On the other hand, maybe it wouldn't as I always left my car in gear (never in neutral when parked) and so to start it I had to put the clutch in. I guess I could have shifted to neutral and then started but nah, just put the clutch in.

Some people, I am told, buy sticks specifically because they are rarely stolen these days because crooks don't know how to drive them.

[School of Rational Thought]

Apparently no IHOP or dollar stores near.
