LA Times Letter: Wingnut Restaurant
A letter appearing in the LA Times "Calendar" Section yesterday recounted the restaurant going experience of a woman from Port Hueneme who had the misfortune of dining at an Oxnard eatery called Mrs. Olson's Coffee Hut one Sunday morning.

It seems that the owner's Sunday morning ritual is to interrupt the diners with a loud pro-war speech and then cajole everyone in the place to stand and sing along with a boombox rendition of "God Bless America" while the wait staff locks arms and sways back and forth.

I wish I was making this up. Food poisoning would be better than this kind of mind poisoning. Sick, sick, sick.

2. That is harrassment in my book.
Yes, I'd rather have food poisoning.

3. what I'd order if I ate there...
French fries with French toast and some German sausage to go along with some Canadian bacon.

Not the most healthy meal in the world, but maybe they'd get the hint.

4. Some LA-Area DUers Could Organize a Sit-Down Strike
during that rendition of 'God Bless America.' Just make sure cameras are handy to record harassment or assault.

6. This should be sung in response:
MOTORHEAD lyrics - "Eat The Rich"

They say music is the food of love,
Let's see if you are hungry enough,
Take a bite, take another, just like a good boy would,
Get a sweet thing on the side,
Home cooking, homicide,
Side order, could be your daughter,
Fingerlicking good


Come on baby, eat the rich,
Put the bite on the son of a bitch,
Don't mess around, don't give me no switch,
C'mon baby eat the rich
C'mon baby eat the rich

Sittin' here in a restaurant,
Tell the waiter just what you want
Is that the meat, you wanted to eat,
How would you ever know?
Hash browns an' bacon strips,
I love the way that you lick your lips,
No fooling, I can see you drooling,
Feel the hunger grow



Eat up, eat you, eat me,
Eat two, get one free
Shetland pony, extra pepperoni
Just pick up the phone,
Eat greek, or eat chinese,
Eat salad, or scarf up grease
You're on the shelf, maybe eat yourself,
Come on, bite my bone!

9. Sounds like Goff's Hamburger joint in Dallas.
The owner is a loud, obnoxious freeper-type. He loves to insult his customers and spout wing-nut rhetoric. Goff put up a statue of Lenin in front of his restaurant with the caption "AMERICA WON."

BTW: The burgers suck, too.

10. That's in MY town!
I didn't know Mrs. Olsen's did stupid shit like that. But I'll say this: I'm NEVER eating there again! I can go get my artery-clogging Sunday breakfast at the Busy Bee or Roxbury Deli instead.
