Wait! Don't tell me!

Let me guess!

The red-checkered, overall-wearing Big Boy mascot is RACIST???

I got news for the Big Boy people: Dolly is going to be found to be RACIST too! (To the racists, everything is.)

“Our’s was called Shoney’s Big Boy”

I remember that. When did it become “Bob’s Big Boy”?

Just looked up Shoneys. They now have “All American Burger”.

Nooooo!! Keep Big Boy with Dolly! They are best buddies. And Big Boy gives props to the bigger Americans so don’t take him away and turn him into a girl. We love him.

“Blond” is masculine. “Blonde” is feminine.

Hmmm. I wonder what Dolly is saying?

Hello, big boy, is that a sandwich in your pocket or are you . . . ?

It depends where you lived. There were different chains that used the Big Boy system and mascot. In Michigan it was Elias Brothers. Frisch’s restaurants used to be Frisch’s Big Boy.

I’m sorry, my mistake. It wasn’t Frisch’s it was Shoney’s that used to be a Big Boy Franchise

Which are still male/female pronouns. They could say Mie and Mir, Tie and Tir; any letter of the alphabet they want would mean the same thing.

The public is ‘not supposed to notice’ that Big BOY is now a girl? Why not just call it Big Girl then?

Dolly only lived about 6.5 years. They had to euthanize her.

“First they came for the SOUTHERN HERITAGE statues....and nobody cared.”

IIRC there a few even here who had no problem with statues of Confederate officers being removed. Said they had no place in society or something.
I know there are a couple or three who seem to harbor a hatred for all things southern. All these generations later.

I wonder how they feel now that Grant, Lincoln and Douglass have been torn down?

It’s Frischs in the Midwest Ohio area, Shoneys is in the South and up in Michigan there were Elias Brothers BigBoys. I’ve eaten at them all but never at Bobs out West.

vMore reason to support Hooters.

I read that Hooters has now gone woke and changed their name to Looters.
