“Hash browns, smothered, covered, spiced, flipped, stepped on, etc., right hon?”

I would have ordered 1 and spent the 23 remaining hours Freeping.

As a night shift worker I can tell you that FR is VERY quiet during most of the silent hours. Unless you have a crapload of stories to upload that will be duplicated by 11 am the next day, FR is NOT where you can spend much quality time in the middle of the night.

How big are waffle house waffles?

In my younger days, I could eat like a horse without putting on an ounce. That begin to change once I hit 40.

Waffle House even got in on the fun tweeting "Sounds like someone WON his fantasy football league, not lost..."

LOL!
Good response by the Waffle House.

It’s slow but I do plenty of reading and occasional posting if I can’t sleep.

“Full of waffles but devoid of life,” he tweeted shortly after midnight.

Are we talking about Biden again?

“A Mississippi journalist”? Either a) he’s a talentless hack or b) the Waffle House he went to is way more boring than the ones I’ve been to! I could make Steinbeck envious writing about the characters I’ve met just in a couple of three- and four-hours stretches. lol

I’m thinking now they are pretty filling. I might be able to down one per hour. Light syrup. Lots of coffee. Maybe make it a 12 hour shift.

They are pretty thin. Not like Belgian waffles. But add some butter and syrup and you’ll fill up.

Last Awful House I tried to dine at (Macon GA) was so smothered and covered in roaches I left before they took my order!

I must be weird.

Stuffing myself with waffles at Waffle House would be a fun way to spend a few hours or even an evening.

Pretty sure I could be outta there in about 4 hours given the terms, but I’d probably hang around anyway.

You’re not kidding. By midnight Eastern time (9:00 PM my time in Arizona) the sidewalks in FR are pretty much rolled up except for a few surly old drunk guys.

I think it’s an acquired taste.

Women don’t seem to like it. Men more so.

Some men will put up with stuff more than others. I draw the line at roach infestation.

Years ago a new-hire at work was raving about this chinese restaurant. He talked like it was simply great. As soon as I walked in the door, I could smell the roach feces. I never even bothered to sit down.

Later, I found out why he had no problem with the bastids. Once, and only once did I visit his home. It seemed he had no problem with the serious roach infestation where he lived...

The guy was there 15 hours hogging a booth or a barstool, how much did he tip the waitress?
