One of my favorite places to eat is a place called Babe’s. Don’t let the name mislead you, it has nothing to do with a Hooters like atmosphere. Simply, a husband called his wife Babe all the time and that’s how the place got its name. Well, she recently died, and here’s a short story about her.
There’s no place better to have chicken fried steak or cream corn – none, none what-so-ever.
Whenever a friend from out of state comes to visit, that’s the first place I usually take them. It’s got a nice down home Texan atmosphere.
The waitresses do the hokey pokie once every half hour I think, and WifeGeeding will always leave the dinner table to join in on the fun.
And every now and then a waitress will grab the mic and sing Crazy by Patsy Cline.
As great as that place is, it is a heart attack waiting to happen so I limit myself to eat there only once per quarter.
Come to think about it, I think that place is my Disneyland. It’s the happiest place on earth.
I wonder why this space suit didn’t make it for the Apollo program.
Let me let me let me upgrade . . . upgrade . . .
Now that Dr Rob has posted a comment, I now know at least two M.D.’s that read this here blog.
I know at least one Ph.D., J.D., Homeland Security Agent, Princeton grad, and one radio DJ that read BON as well.
Mike Snyder hasn’t updated his blog since early October.
I think I’m going to get one of these to solve our heating problem and place it in the middle of the living room.
There’s this really great airline named Southwest. On their website you can now book a flight to Canada. I hear the people behind that implementation are some of the coolest people on the face of this earth. I’m just saying.
Romantic comedies set unrealistic expectations. Article
NORAD has their Santa tracking site up and running. Link
Speaking of places underground, this is the coolest data center I’ve ever seen. Link
Off hand I don’t think I have a favorite onomatopoeia, but whaaam comes to mind.
I’m not the type to drive around or wait for a good parking space. I much rather park in the first available one I see and walk.
Cadillac has a stupid commercial with a bunch of ladies getting into a SUV and the guy giving them reindeer nicknames.
I’ve always admired how John Walsh was able to turn his anger into action that would help fight crime.
Every Monday through Friday I drink one glass of warm green tea, with one Sweet and Low, and a spoonful of Benefiber. With that glass, I usually eat a bowl of cereal that consists of a half cup of Fiber One, half cup of Total, and a mixture of walnuts and almonds. This breakfast happens at my desk at work while I read the latest headlines, daily comics, and my emails.
As a kid, I loved wrapping presents. Maybe it was because it felt cool knowing what everyone was getting and it felt good that others appreciated my effort. Now, it’s a beatdown. That’s why all of WifeGeeding’s presents will be coming from the Sky Mall. That goes for all my other family members as well.
I’m still amazed that new species are still being found. Link
You are right, Babe’s is the BEST. We limit ourselves to only going when we have out of town visitors due to the heart attack factor. But it is truly heaven.
If you ever have a BON convention you should have it there.
1) A lot of missiles in the old Soviet Christmas cards.
2) What I hate most about wrapping Christmas presents is that I always end up with piles of odd pieces of leftover wrapping paper that are too small to use to wrap what’s left but too large to just toss out. This year I’m thinking about wrapping some of the kids presents with a quilted pattern of leftover pieces. The way they tear through the stuff so fast it’s almost a waste of time wrapping them up in the first place [hey, we’re in a recession]
3) From looking at Mike Snyder, I’m guessing he hasn’t been posting because he doesn’t want to address the results of his diet on the NBC5 website.
4) The article about Romantic Comedies creating unrealistic expectations confirms a belief I’ve always had that too many people confuse their own lives and reality with made-for-TV-families. I read somewhere that people who reflect back on their childhoods in the 1950’s often interweave or replace their own memories with those of the TV sitcom families they grew up watching.
5) I think the whole NORAD tracking of Santa has grown rather lame. Following the demise of the Soviet Union, NORAD only seems to come up at Christmas.
6) Every time I hear “Upgrade†I think of the movie “Idiocracyâ€. Maya Rudolph’s pimp-boyfriend was named Upgrade
Ahhh Babe’s, the one in downtown Carrollton knows me and my coworkers well. I love the way they have the to go bags hanging on the wall and they are similar to grocery store produce bags. The salad is something of amazement and so simple.
