Heh...keep in mind the cushions were vinyl with alternating moss green and bright yellow...circa 1970. I let Toonces sit on them.

My vet, Dr Doug (we always use his first name) is an old school farmer vet...and he's great with animals and a very sweet man. His office looks like an old farmer vet's office, not all bright and modern like you see. I like it there.

I once had creamers thrown at me, as a restaurant customer.

Well, it wasn't ordinary circumstances, I guess.

Things get strange on the night shift at a Denny's. Servers are used to dealing with obstreperous drunks rather than college students who would rather stay up all night, eat Denny's breakfasts, drink coffee, and play Dungeons and Dragons.

We were on a first name basis with the night staff, had a favorite table and all that ... and we did our best to tip well, despite the traditional college student scarceness of funds.

We also liked to build creamer towers, since we were all drinking coffee and only one of our guys used creamer, it gave us something to do with the loads of creamer that got dropped on the table by waitress protocol. So one night we had this elaborate tower going and the wait staff were all over by the cash register, and they started throwing buckets of creamer at us to knock down our tower.

I miss college.

I worked night shift at Denny's when I was 19. We had regulars like that, too. I learned several card games that way.

Nazi. The purpose of signs is to communicate, but first they have to get your attention. It did. :p

That explains the sign I saw a while back: "Men to the left! Women and children's to the right!"

We have a regular stop in the morning with the dispensers -- half & half to the left, French vanilla right. Very good for cooling the coffee if you put enough in the cup. All that cream keeps the coffee from irritating one's innards.

Well, I'm (verbal contraction) never much troubled by beverages that are coffee-with-things; as a kid my favorite flavor of ice cream was coffee, and a lot of the latte stuff is more or less like the ice cream. 'S (more intense contraction) all good.

If those contraction get any more intense, you might want to head to the delivery ward....

Has UG become a contractarian?
