I like Olive Garden. I'm a philistine.
I'm a philistine, too. I can get my favorite cheap red wine and very good fetuccine Alfredo. And their chairs are on casters, which makes it easy to get up to the table. This contents me.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

I refuse to eat at Olive Garden thanks to long-ago posts on the alt.gothic newsgroup; too many fellow Freaks In Black dealt with rude service from the employees.

Nobody orders chop suey, Kathy.
Thank G-d for the International Cuisine movement of the past fifty years! I can't imagine only eating the kind of food my parents grew up on.

Just goes to show they couldn't open an Olive Garden in Sicily. (aside from the food reasons)

Few Protests Over Theater Ads, Say Movie Chains
Meanwhile, their audience is slowly dribbling away...
As far as I'm concerned, they're another five-minute cushion that make it more likely I make it in time for the previews or the start of the movie. When I am on time they bug, because it's all about me.
I've never been to Olive Garden. Or Friday's. Is Buca di Beppo anything like OG? It's not bad, but it's definitely a pick up takeout when I don't feel like having anything in particular kind of place.
I thought Chop Suey was a myth. Not seriously, but I've never been to a place that actually offered it. I'm not even that clear on what it is, besides bad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Once the lights go down, ads are okay. Before the lights go down, anything on screen should be quiet enough to easily talk over. or there should be reserved seats so I don't have to sit in a theater for half an hour trying to carry on a conversation over the ads to ensure a good seat.
And I want butter halfway down my bag of popcorn, not just on top.

I *loathe* Buca di Beppo because of the atmosphere. I cannot stand enforced fun. Give me a break.

Buca di Beppo has kickass garlic bread. The entrees aren't too bad there, either.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
lasagna (with cottage cheese instead of ricotta).
Barf! Blech!
The other fauxtalian food I loathe is the bright red tomato sauce that's kind of sweet, uniformly red, and of a texture akin to that of thick tempera paint.

One of the local, privately owned theaters here puts actual butter on their popcorn.
