Our high school late-night hangouts were mostly independent diners. I can't remember very many chain restaurants that we went to at all, except sometimes Friendly's at lunch time.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I miss the Deli Haus. I was just in Kenmore the other night bemoaning all the swankery, missing the Deli Haus.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Diners for us as well -- one of the great blessings of a Jersey youth. We did have a Friendly's we went to sometimes, but they were always rude to us. We generally referred to them as Surly's.

Because nothing says "I am a tormented creature of the night! Fear me, mortals!" like sitting around Denny's while eating fries.
I first read "fries" as "flies," which is a much different picture.

I am so sick of parents saying, "that's OK" when I tell them a movie is rated R for graphic bloody violence.

Mom just got put on antibiotics for a sinus infection. The doc says she's contagious for 48 hours. I'm supposed to go visit her tonight. I've never had a sinus infection. Should I be worried?

The contagious can't be the sinus infection itself, but whatever's causing it.

Oh man, YEAH. Westfield Diner after midnight, coffee and cheeseburgers deluxe and eggs and bacon ... Ah. God, I love a god diner. You have to live in Jersey to really appreciate them. Or find the best ones. IMO, of course.
