Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I was just explaining Naugles to someone recently.

I remember the name (and thinking it was weird) when I was a kid, but not really the restaurant itself. Maybe the ones near me went away when I was still quite young?

Our wings are not tired

They merged with Del Taco around 1988. The "macho" menu items at Del Taco are a hold over from Naugles.

What is even happening?

Does "Naugles" rhyme with "boggles"?

So not that young. I think we must have just been subsumed by Taco Bell in my part of town.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bah, the garage needs another day to fix some more stuff. No I have to decide if I want to go home tonight or not. I only brought one change of clothes, but I don't want to drive back and forth in my dad's truck.

That's not what Del Taco is though. Think Taco Bell, except moreso.

One of my coworkers mentioned that Del Taco has surprisingly good burgers. For being a taco place, I guess. I don't think I can confirm that from my own experience, but I'll pass it along.

And Dad just suggested I borrow a robe and wash my clothes this evening to have something clean for tomorrow so I am all set. I am very much looking forward to being at home and not going anywhere for several days though. This being somewhere else thing is WEIRD, I am NOT USED TO IT

Dang, y'all are quiet this afternoon. I didn't realize I was slowly serial posting.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I mowed the lawn this afternoon and the neighbor dogs harassed me to throw the ball for them, which eroded my free will immediately and I was powerless to do anything other than throw the ball for them, repeatedly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Del Taco up here has surprisingly good simple breakfast burritos.

They are not able to pull off anything more complicated than the one with scrambled eggs, cheese and a little sauce in a flour tortilla but those are good.

Oddly, in other cities, they don't taste as good. So I think the one here might use actual eggs.

This was my Friday and a short day but I am wiped out.
