Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hasn't Denny's been sued over their racist policies more than once?

Decades ago they were successfully sued over their policy of making African Americans pay in advance. I think there were other suits but I disremember.

Singulair was a pediatric medicine to start, so one would hope that it is safer than most.

Sparky, what happened?

Their main pipe to the street failed and they had sewage spewing everywhere. That pipe went in when the house was build (1934) and was clay. It would have been more expensive if it had collapsed, but because it did not, they can snake a new pipe through the old one and the old one can just be left to crumble around the new.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

WHY IS TODAY SO ANNOYING?

I ordered a chicken sandwich from a deli I go to at least twice a week. The sandwich comes with jalapenos, I asked for pickles instead. On the screen, I see "no pickles, extra peppers" pop up, so I say to the guy "Oh sorry, I meant the other way around - no peppers, extra pickles." He apologizes and corrects it, it still comes up wrong on the screen. He says ignore that, that's what the computer says but you'll still get the pickles.

My sandwich has raw cucumbers on it.

OMG THIS FUCKING DAY.

Oh my god. Why is the world so hateful?

Oh man. That's not good. I didn't even know clay pipes existed. I guess they don't anymore, huh?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup, and for a while I used to carry the little strip from the bottom of their menu that said they weren't racist anymore, honest, into restaurants with me to make sure I got seated. (I went to Dennys a lot even though I knew they were racist, because I was working at the theater and they would serve me food at 3 am after the bars had closed.)

In Glendale, I also got seated hidden way at the back of the restaurant, but I'm pretty sure that was because of my Blackhawks hat, and not because of my race!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My favorite part of the incidental racism was when the manager walked into the kitchen, and I thought was going to confront the employees, but no, the waitress just said to him, "Ah-so, that's Japanese!" and he laughed. Way to go, management!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So I had a great trip to Phoenix, but on the way crossed through some very rural country, wherein I stopped at a Dennys (why is it I have had more racist experiences in Dennys than anywhere else?) for breakfast. As soon as my waitress seated me and walked back to the (open) kitchen, a chorus of "Ah-so"'s erupted. So awesome. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

I do believe Chuck D. had something to say on this matter: By The Time I Get To Arizona.

To give Denny's faint credit, our local stores object more to the punkers that show up at 2 AM than the color of the skin.

edit: and we're the third largest town in Utah with a few largish colleges.

Are these people five years old, in addition to being rascist? WTF?

Jesus, Liese. That's just... WTF.

It's amazing to hear that, given that the bulk of the GOP's leadership is claiming that there is no such thing as racism anymore, or if there is, it's racism against white people.

People suck.

In other news, I did give blood. Doesn't that mean I'm done for the day?
