OK, does this sound like a good place to eat?

Just rode by this place on the bus. It's a small, rundown-looking place on the south side. There are about a dozen motorcycles parked in in front, and a sign that says, "Eat here--nobody likes a coward!" Oh, and did I mention the cop car out front?

So whaddya think?

everyone was on their best behaviour. The bouncers had nothing to do. Personally you couldn't pay me to be in proximity of one psychopath let alone a bunch.

I used to be one of those 'psychopaths' and my son is currently a member. I still have lots of 'psychopath' friends, too.

I'm going to go home and caress my old chaps.

I'm not one of them. Neither is my kid. Can I still go home and caress my old chaps? The weather is beautiful, the bikes are out and I'm sad.

As you know, there are a lot of people who are bikers besides Hell's Angels and Vagos and the like. 'Regular' bikers are an eclectic group.

Biker bars, strip joints, and fundie churches. And right across the county line is a huge upscale mall.

Place I used to eat breakfast had bullet holes in the wall behind one of the booths from a pimp shooting at another pimp that stole one of his girls

The owner killed a would-be armed robber right in front of the cash register, used a sawed-off shotgun and shot him right through the counter, both barrels.

He never cleaned the blood stains off of the wooden floor.



Even cops steered clear of that place.





Two eggs any style, two slices of toast, hash browns, two sausage links and all the coffee you could drink, $1.99.

Good food. Opened at 11 pm, closed at 10 am, six days a week.

I mean, if you went into a place planning to rob it and you saw a bloodstain on the floor right in front of the cash register, wouldn't you rethink your plan?

No one ever fucked with Leo and got away with it.

I think he was a Greek Partisan during the war, you could crack walnuts on his face.
