They're worse than Bin Laden. They are exactly the same but have the

There's something wrong with their time line, or else there
was another chain with the same name:
"Eventually, in 1959, Harmon Dobson would expand outside Texas with
Whataburger #21 opening in Pensacola, Florida."

I distinctly remember eating at Whataburger in Gainesville,
Florida when they opened a new store on NW 13th street in
very late 1958. At 35 cents for a full quarter-pounder, with
lots of lettuce, tomato, and onion, on a 5-inch bun, it made
a lunch within my student budget. If I was feeling particularly
rich I would top it off by going across the street and getting
a banana split for 65 cents.

Never said anybody STOLE it as it was done long before my time. But I
used the quote several times in a previous thread. If you can't take a
little ribbing, then you should find another group.

Oh, I'm certain he didn't mean to imply any such thing. To the
contrary, he most likely meant to imply that you stole it from
Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, or some other cess-pool of bumper-sticker
political "thought."

Your inferrence that it is original to you is indeed laughable,
though. You and the rest of the parrots of FM talk radio aren't
exactly known for originality or creativity, and with good reason.

Here's a thought: If YOU don't want YOUR kid "subjected to uninvited,
religious proselytization," don't take him to In-and-Out. If you find
that concept confusing, please google on "personal responsibility."

He doesn't get any proselytizing. It's a set of tiny letters on the
inside of the bottom of a soda cup that is in 5 point type.

And if they want to put it there, that's their business. They have
every right to. Just like you have a right to overreact and not eat there.

I recall in maybe the early 70s going to a Whataburger in Los Angeles.
I don't know if it is the same chain or not. It was quite busy for a while.

White Castle also tried to come out to LA, too. They had an outlet on
Ventura Blvd. Another bust.

You mean there's only so many windmills you're willing to tilt at? For
someone who's going to rid the world of proselytization, you sure do

I remember the opening promotion. Gave away burgers for a week I think it was.

4th largest. Hmm. I'm deficient about this information as it keeps changing.
NYC is 1st. LA is 2nd. Chicago is 3rd., then I have a gap. Sandy Eggo used
to be 6th but is now 7th as Phoenix took over 6th place. I'm sure that Las
Vegas will eventuall bump us down to 8th. And San Antonio is coming up too.
So. Is the 4th largest city Dallas?

As I live in Sandy Eggo, I have aquaintance with In-N-Out. I think it is
over rated and very poor. In short nasty. It is, perhaps, a notch above
McDonalds, etc. but it is well behind Tommy's Chili Burgers. In Sandy Eggo
we have a local chain that serves un-fast hamburgers where you have to go
inside to eat. It is Boll Weevel. Super hamburgers. Actually the best
hamburger in town is at a very small Ethopian resturant that has produced
the same burgers through many owners for the last 45 years. No new owner
dared change the hamburger. Even the Ethopian owners know better and they,
according to the Ethopians I know, serve the best Ethopian food in Sandy
Eggo! It still has it's original name "Granger's". It is located just next
to Texas Street on El Cajon Blvd. I used to live just a few yards away on
Texas St. and visited Granger's often for hamburgers to take home. It is a
very small place with maybe 4 or 5 tables.

Charliam, who hopes he is right about Dallas!

Is this the same Doyle ass licker from RGP? Sadly we meet on a
celebrity gossip usenet. I just moved to Vegas 2 weeks ago. On my
first night I played at the Wynn and saw the worst live cheating event
in my poker history. It was almost the first cheating I have seen
live. Of course according to you there is no cheating in poker.
Since my 1st night in Vegas experience every local person I have told
the Wynn story to has related several other cheating stories. Even
Doyle admitted the poker hall of fame Johnny Moss was a cheat. Why did
Doyle play so many years with a CHEAT? Hard to guess - you piece of
shit. How did Chip make sure Spilatro got his money every month? They
are both great poker players even if they pulled a few moves/cheats.
You on the other hand are a repeat - piece of shit - who makes me sick.
I hope Gordan Gano smashes you over the head with a guitar.

Notice how cold and clammy it got in here over the weekend? Must be
the only day it gets computer access in the asylum's library. And it
can't recall who had a head wound. Sad, innit?

You seem to be taking it upon yourself to determine who should post in

Never said OR implied that. Just recommended that if you can't take a
little ribbing, maybe you're in the wrong group. People make and
receive comments like mine every day of the week. In relation to this
group, mine was pretty mild. Most people are thick skinned enough that
they don't let it bother them.

But then again YMMV.

I've been here since at least 1999, according to Google Groups - I'm
pretty sure I was posting here awhile before that under a different
email addresses. In all that time, I've never stomped out,
threatening to never return. I think I can handle anything you or the
group might throw at me, even if you don't approve of the way I choose
to respond.

If you didn't know that, you know what they say about you and the
horse you rode in on.

anyone who has not been to In-N-Out has missed out. does anyone know
all the dishes on the secret menu? i've seen someone eat a 16 by 16
before...

Personally, I have never stomped out either. I don't let minor things
bother me. I can take a joke aimed at me without getting all huffy.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. You know what they say
about opinions, they are like assholes, everybody has one.

Are we still talking about the meaning of "a stitch in time saves
nine"?

I guess that you're posting from alt.gossip.celebrities.

Please be advised that the state of Chers' and Pamelas' tits is off-topic
in the other groups.
I also find it distasteful that the choice of women to inflate or deflate their
boobs is gossiped about ! Plus, if the doctor does good work, you won't see
the stitches.

Get a live ! Listen to an Elton John concert, for example, instead of just gossiping
about him.

Cheers,

ITYM, "Get alive!" PS: Your exclamation-mark key is b0rken. It keeps

Does 8:00 tonight count? Because that's when I'll be seeing Elton
John.

But you already knew that, didn't you, google-stalker boi?
