I totally agree with the Oatmeal (except for his opinion on Red Robin; I think it kicks all kinds of ass). I get all kinds of rageful when I'm out to eat with someone who tips really poorly.

Because books.
I used to be addicted to Red Robin nachos. We haven't had a Red Robin around in years, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I've ever seen one in real life, but I already can't stop singing the ads.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I checked with Google Maps and my commute is 2.1 miles, and it would be 10 minutes faster for me to take the bus than to walk. So that's good to know.
I haven't looked at the Oatmeal, but Red Robin seems fine for the few times I've eaten there. They do have a catchy jingle.

I have never even heard of Red Robin, but I always tip well because even if the service isn't great! Of course, I didn't know the first time that I went to NYC that 20% is normal, because in Rochester 20% is a super great tip and 15% is normal.

I am 16 or 17.5 miles to work depending on which highway I want to take. Takes about 30 minutes with a school drop-off. Takes about 50 minutes to get home.
Red Robin is on the short list of mac approved sit down restaurants, so I lurve them. Also, their onion strings are super duper yummy.

I caught up on Scandal last night and what kind of stupid super fixer agency never sweeps their offices or homes for bugs and cameras? I am not fully prepared for Scott Mr. Felicity Officer and a Gentleman to be super creepy stalker bad dude. But Olivia Pope had best stop being a dumb dumb.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Red Robin has gluten-free hamburger buns that are so soft and yummy that I nearly cried the first time I had one. I hadn't had a restaurant hamburger on a bun in years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On this past Scandal, I adored that "You must be Olivia Pope." error. Because I do wonder sometimes, what the reality of a black woman having so much power in DC and consequently the US if not the world would play out like.
