CCR were definitely from NORTHERN CA

Damn.

Hipsters = ??? possibly a kind of pants

Millar (Millar), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:18 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, what the hell am I saying, CCR weren't even good, I hate CCR. Fuck California.

Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:18 (twenty years ago) link

Also we built the space station

Um... I'll have the gumbo, please.

Kenan, stop pulling a Ned Raggett on this thread.

Who the hell is that, Jack in the Box? Get me some waffle fries, beeyotch.

(xpost--db you know I'm talkin' to you)

Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:21 (twenty years ago) link

It's Ned wearing his pointy wizard hat.

Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:22 (twenty years ago) link

Thankfully the South doesn't have Jack in the Box.

hstencil, Monday, 18 August 2003 20:23 (twenty years ago) link

I do. In fact, I thought ONLY the south had JITB.

Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:23 (twenty years ago) link

I think my new thing is to just call everyone "you racist".

"What, surpised to see me? Face it--you're a racist."

brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:25 (twenty years ago) link

Part of the south has JITB, other parts have Hardee's. Both are equally fantastic, as is Popeye's chicken.

I thought Jack in the Box was a California/Left Coast thing. Maybe they have 'em in Texas now? They're certainly no Waffle House.

hstencil, Monday, 18 August 2003 20:26 (twenty years ago) link

So I have a pointy wizard hat now? And I'm being pulled? Like a pork sandwich?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:27 (twenty years ago) link

I think my new thing is to just call everyone "you racist".

i try to use the phrase "all up in your grill" as many times as possible thru-out the workday. it sends the brokers who call into titters.

Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:29 (twenty years ago) link

Anyone who dislikes Jack in the Box is a goddamned racist.

Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:32 (twenty years ago) link

something good = all the ilxors who live here (except possibly me)

Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 18 August 2003 20:41 (twenty years ago) link

I can't believe it took us this far in the thread to get to Faulkner (or did I miss it above?)

Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:44 (twenty years ago) link

you did. I mentioned Faulkner waaaaay upthread.

hstencil, Monday, 18 August 2003 20:45 (twenty years ago) link

My first taco ever was from Jack In The Box. :( I blame hstencil.

donut bitch (donut), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:46 (twenty years ago) link

Damn, sorry, stence. It's been a long quick thread.

Southern drawl: slow and easy on the ear as poured molasses.

DB: Who told you that Tacos from Jack in the Box were any good? Taking your life in your hands, weren't you;>?

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:50 (twenty years ago) link

Hardee's Biscuits and Gravy. So terrible. So wonderful. The snuff film of fast food breakfast.

Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think I'd like having molasses poured into my ears.

Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I didn't think so either...

The drawl gets a lot of play, but let's not forget the twang.

Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:55 (twenty years ago) link

or the stammer!

amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:56 (twenty years ago) link

We've always had Jack in the Cracks here. At least for all of my 30 years. We also have Hardee's and there's a Popeyes across the street from me.

Jack puts sliced cheese on his tacos. This is clearly, clearly wrong.

Fried okra rules you fules. I had some with my jalapeno burger this weekend.

Stence, born in TX, raised amongst the bluegrass = even bettah!

Texas Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:57 (twenty years ago) link

Ally, that depends who is doing the pouring, though

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:58 (twenty years ago) link

Popeye's is maybe the tastiest food in the world if you're incredibly hot and tired and near-dehydrated and then park yourself in the air conditioning. And their sides are so much better than KFC's that I just can't eat KFC anymore.

I'll add Sam's jalapeno burger to the list of somethings nice.

Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 20:59 (twenty years ago) link

In your ears though?

Biscuits! (I'm making dinner.)

Also, syrups. The selection of syrups for pancakes, waffles, French toast, biscuits, etc., is staggering.

Tep (ktepi), Monday, 18 August 2003 21:55 (twenty years ago) link

Oh my god, I need to go to the south, the only reason that I ever even EAT breakfast is for syrup.

Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 18 August 2003 21:55 (twenty years ago) link

this thread makes me want to go back home, but not really
