I stopped at the Petro in Rochelle, IL and found sweet corn on the buffet. Now, usually, restaurants of all types absolutely ruin sweet corn by letting it soak in water. These guys did it right. They boiled it but then took it out and let it sit on the buffet that way. It didn't dry out at...

This isn't a cleanliness story, but another interesting buffet story. I once saw an interesting guy eating at a Hook buffet. He ate three big, heaping plates of salad. He chewed very fast, like a rabbit. His friends were all on the main course section of the buffet by now, but he was still...

Sounds like the Ghostbustermobile.

One time, I think at another Hook, I watched a guy come in, go up to the salad bar, dip a finger into some salad dressing and up to his mouth to taste it. I was appalled. I told the waitress but I don't remember if anything was done about it. It was a while ago. I don't care if a guy wants...

At the Hook buffet, same night, not one but TWO pigs eating off the buffet with their hands. What is it with people?

sacrilege!

Yeah, but I was PMing the guy he mentioned! What are THOSE odds?!?!?

So I'm sitting in the parking lot at the Hook, on my laptop, and another expediter comes out and sees me. He says hi, and we're talking, and I mention something about EO, and he says, "I'm Falligator!" He mentions some names of people from EO that he's met, one of whom was GSmacker, and I...

As does Flying J, and TA for that matter, but according to the manager, they have no program for a CV expediter to earn showers through purchasing small amounts of gasoline. It's either 50 gals of diesel, or $10. I'd have to be pretty desperate for a shower to pay $10 for one when I earn one...

I emailed Pilot today, telling them I appreciate being able to get a shower at Flying J and TA through their expediter programs of the frequent fueler cards. One email won't change anything, though. How about everyone sending a similar message? It would be nice to expand shower locations to...

From Crime Scene - Fairfax Naked Guy -- Not Guilty Now that he's been acquitted, what would happen in a free country to ensure true justice was done? I say his accuser pays his legal bills and a civil judgement over the damage she did to his reputation, and the police officers who barged into...

A lot of us wouldn't vote for that. Our job and security situations are only symptoms of broader policies. Addressing those becomes a much larger issue fundamentally changing what our country has become over the last 50+ years. Why are jobs scarce? Because we as a country have done...

And who might these strange creatures be? I only know of one of those in Washington, and he's not going to get elected. So you got some names to go along with that?

ReDumblicans is fine for the GOP, but after three things happened, I call the other clowns Demon-crats. Those three things were: --Gore's attempted theft of the 2000 election; --the demon-crats' turning the funeral of Sen. Wellstone into a political pep rally; --and judge-shopping for judge who...

Now if only there was more than a nickel's worth of difference between them, that might be good news. They're all collectivists in both parties now, and everything from progressivism through Marxism is but a stop on the same progressive spectrum. Reference the "how fast do you want to be...

That's the point. Destroy the system so in a few years, it's so irretrievably broken that Congress, with the support of the leech class of society, throws up their hands and says the whole thing has to be nationalized with a single payer controlling everything. THAT'S THE PLAN.

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, and come to think of it, I didn't stay at the hotel chain that makes you smarter the next day. I don't know the details of the Florida law you're citing, but in an interview, the doctor said he's not interrogating patients over their votes, and he...

Not Dumb-O-Crats...Demon-crats.

Ok, this is my first attempt at inlining a reply into a message, so we'll see if I'm doing it right. I don't think my owner knows about those things. He's owned a small fleet of straight trucks and big trucks before, but that was a few years ago when fuel was relatively cheap. He ran in a van...

What about things that will save them money? Forex, the posts I've seen about using a battery system to power an RV AC unit mounted in the roof? If you show them that spending the, what?--$1000? to install that will save them money over time, is that a good idea? If you were an owner and a...
