Journal bethanie's Journal: Hog Heaven 24

So I'm browsing through the local paper, and here's this BIG ad for a NEW establishment in town -- it's a combo pool-hall and tanning parlor (open LATE!). Also turns out that it's right next to the Harley repair shop -- talk about convenience!!

Gee. All they need to add is a coupla trampolines out back, and they'll have fun for the WHOLE redneck family!

  • Not only do you want to go, but you want one of those Hell's Angels to 'accidentally' walk in while you are nude tanning... right? ;-)

    Come on, you know there's a Waffle House nearby. If not, build one fast!

      • Even sadder ... the Mason-Dixon line isn't the northern boundary. I moved from Atlanta to DC three years ago and have been jonesing for a Wa-Ho ever since. I can't find them in MD OR VA ... both comfortably inside the M-D line.

        WHY Waffle House? WHY!?!

      • You speak the truth, sir.

        And not only are they at every exit along the interstate (and along the major, and even minor routes) throughout the South, they are open 24 hours, and they are ALWAYS busy.

        You could always just order the eggs, bacon, & sausage, ya know?

        • Hi Sweetie. I'm letting the Ibu kick in after a fun meeting full of whimsy, and couldn't resist this one.

          I especially like the intersections where there are two or three WHs, just so no one has to turn around in traffic to get scattered, smothered, or covered. And they're all busy!

        • I think it's an Old South thing. We have IHOPs everywhere here in Texas, but not many Waffle Houses. Here in Austin we have our own homegrown alternatives anyway. For 24 hour goodness we have Kerbey Lane, Magnolia Cafe, and maybe the Omeletry (not sure about the hours there).
      • There are Waffle House locations [wafflehouse.com] in places north of what I know of the Mason-Dixon Line. Here in Indiana the familiar outdoor signs say "Waffle & Steak", but when you go inside most everything says "Waffle House". They say it had something to do with a lawsuit by some other place in Indiana that had the name first.

        I was thinking the whole ride "could people here possibly like waffles that much?"

        I want the "Protein House" for my particular diet.


        The sign may say "Waffle House", but when you go inside

    On the pool tables, or in the tanning bed? ;)
  • No, that's just Milwaukee for the next week or so. I thought I was cool, but someone informed me I had the wrong type of bike for Harley 100th celebration. :(
  • I'll admit that i'm cautious about reading ANY bthanie post while at work...

    This one just seems crazy. I'd go to a pool hall, but a pool hall/tanning salon just looks like a teen trap to me. Most of the tanning business in the town/city where i live is... right near the high schools. Me, i'd never let them touch my ghost-white pallor, what kind of Victorian waif would i be if that changed? So i've been pretty shocked to see the number of teens who are gonna be wearing luggage tags for earrings by the time

    • Caution is wise, young grasshopper. :-)

      It is also apparently wise not to take a big swig of liquid.

      You've been warned....

  • I read this twice [once on seperate occasions], & laughed both times. In fact, I laughed more the 2nd time.

    A combination pool hall/tanning parlor? There's a joke involving balls in here somewhere.
  • So when's hard liquer and handgun nite? Oh, you didn't mention a ammo/gun store or a bait and tackle shop near by did you? If a fishing pro owned a fishing supply shop would it be "The Master Baiter"?
    • Actually, I'm not sure they can sell hard liquor -- counties are still nearly dry 'round here, though they may sell liquor by the glass. I'd have to call and check (I sure as hell ain't goin' in -- I hate cigarette smoke.)

      Guns & ammo are available just down the road at WalMart.

      Bait Shop's up the road, and no, they don't bother with clever names like that here. "Bait Shop" is good enough. Them spiffy names is for them weird Calleefornans.
