I have not only eaten at Denny's, I worked there (graveyard shift) to pay for my sophomore year of undergrad.
Third shift at the IHOP. I feel your pain.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If I am in a Denny's it is probably 2:30 am.
in unrelated news I just took a phone call for my boss from a long-ago secret work crush. I pretty much had forgotten this girl even existed and now she is back in my head with her freckled arms and her casual boyishness. Stupid unexpected phone calls.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In Minnesota, we ate at Perkins all the time. (Not our Perkins.)
I ate at Perkins when I visited the University of Wisconsin at Madison!

When I was a kid, we always used to stop at Denny's in Socorro for brunch when we drove north. For the longest time, it was the most convenient choice (now there are many more options.) Coming back, it was often Dairy Queen for dinner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've done the late night Denny's thing myself. In Michigan. Outside of Michigan there seem to be more alternatives.
Today has been much of a waste of a day. But I have learnt that UCLA Medical Center intends to change how it deals with migraine sufferers due in at least some small part to my stupid headaches. This includes having an acute treatment facility of sorts so we don't have to keep hitting up the ER.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Denny's is a bar for suburban teens. Not only that, we used to go there every Saturday when I was a 3L for about six hours and do our homework and smoke.

oh yeah they did let us smoke, didn't they. It was the beer cans under the table that finally got us kicked out.

I don't remember the last time I was in a Denny's, but I know I have been to them. However, bragging about it on the board did immediately put me in mind of the Michigan crew there.
Note to new company: it would be helpful if, when you reset my password because I never got one, and tell it to me, if it EXPIRES in 75 minutes, you could TELL me that, and tell me (since I said it's my FIRST DAY) where I could change the password? Especially if I have to go to a website, rather than anywhere in the application itself? Thanks--it'd save me calling you again and making you reset it again when it stops working.
