3. There in Lies the Rub..... |
|
I do not drink....
I think I will just grin and bear it...
Get all pissed off inside....
Like a man my age should.....
And then come home and pick a fight on GDP.....
I love this place....

5. This sounds difficult, my dear WC.... |
|
Hmmm....perhaps you could tell them that you can't eat the cheesecake since your doc wants you to cut the fat from your diet...
You know, he's worried about your cholesterol, or some such...
It's a thought...
Hope you have fun, anyhow!

I always said my girlish figure never went anywhere it's just hidden under all this blubber :)
You look quite svelte in your photographs. Congrats on the weight loss so far!

That's a good answer...hidden under all this blubber!
I might look good in my photos, since I've learned the gentle art of camouflage...
My belly is really quite hideous, but it is shrinking! Diet and exercise do the trick...
Very sweet of you to reinforce my resolve...

25. sounds like YOU are doing great! |

I don't think you've EVER had blubber though :) Thank goodness for clothing, it hides all of our imperfections. I'm down 100lbs and really need to be motivated to exercise more!
not meaning to hijack this thread!

well, that was a long time ago. In the early-mid 70's they were in an industrial park and were a lunchbreak type place for the people that worked around them.
I went there a few times with my mother, who worked down the street.
I completely forgot about them until I saw one a few years back in Las Vegas. Wow had they changed! (still good food though)

I hope it doesn't rain while your party of 16 is waiting outside for a table.

Well, I do enjoy cheesecake.
My favorite way to enjoy Cheesecake Factory cheesecake is to get take out. No waiting. :-)
Good luck to the op.

32. Really. A party of four can wait for an hour...it's okay if you drink. |
|
You can hang out in the bar and plow through their Novel-Length Menu to decide what you're having.
Going to a place that doesn't take reservations with a party of 16? Madness, sheer madness.
To the OP: take whoever is responsible for this out for a beating next weekend, once you've recovered. JUST Kidding...maybe.

26. No. there is no possible way |
|
And, let me guess. Everyone wants to go at "around seven".
You'll be eating by 9:30, maybe...
Good luck

33. I have three words for the folks that don't like Cheesecake... |
|
...but find themselves in The Cheesecake Factory: Warm Apple Crisp.
It's to die for, and even Two people can't finish it, unless one of them is very, very hungry and determined.
