[taterguy]

Ask me whatever the hell you want. I may or may not answer

[LSK]

1. who are you and what did you do with taterguy?

:shrug:

[taterguy]

2. Just trying out something different

Always evolving ya know

[plcdude]

3. do anything interesting

while driving?

[taterguy]

5. Drank a lot of soda, smoked a lot of cigarettes

Listened to the Jimi Hendrix version of Day Tripper

[plcdude]

8. you know all those

things will kill you

[taterguy]

11. I did not know that cigarettes and sodas were hazardous to my health

I shall change my ways immediately

[LSK]

[Writer]

4. Was there a screaming baby in the car?

[taterguy]

10. No

[Joe Fields]

7. How was the cuisine?

[taterguy]

9. Filling

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Do there seem to be more cat threads in the Lounge than usual?

[taterguy]

13. Just these guys seeking a cheap thrill

[LostinVA]

14. *GASP* You drove a CAR?!

[taterguy]

15. yes

Why the Gasp?

[LostinVA]

17. You drove a car

[taterguy]

20. Sometimes you just gotta try something different

I don't plan on making a habit of it but I'm not averse to experimenting with it occasionally.

[HughBeaumont]

16. Was the comfort food TOO comfortable?

Do they still sell Sky Bars?

Did you know that's the only restaurant whose name most aptly describes the people that eat there?

[taterguy]

19. Hectors aptly described the people who ate there

The patrons were all Greek heroic figures, or drunk college students from Chapel Hill
Same difference.

I didn't notice if they still sold Sky Bar or not

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Dude. You only eat at Cracker Barrel on Wednesdays.

that's chicken pot pie day. Have you learned nothing?

:bounce:

[taterguy]

21. I tried to call you in Richmond for wisdom

Sadly there was no listing in the white pages for Midlodemocrat.

[triguy46]

22. Good warmup. When are you going to finish the drive?

[taterguy]

23. At this point, we don't know

And you get mega-bonus points if you know which author I'm stealing that line from

[MorningGlow]

24. OOH OOH I'm claiming my points

David Mamet! Sexual Perversity in Chicago! "So...was she a pro?" "At this point, we don't know."

(Was Joan in a college production of the play and did my thesis on Mamet! :hi: )

[taterguy]

25. You my friend are a great American

Have some cake

[MorningGlow]

26. Cake AND points?!

Sir, you flatter me. :blush: (But I'll take 'em!)

And, in honor of the great Mamet, a quote from one of his works: *$&#^! *$(#&&!!! *$&$^^@*##!!!

[Skittles]

27. I love the Cracker Barrel store

always find some nifty items to mail to soldiers and kids in Iraq

[taterguy]

28. I didn't see anything too keen in the gift shop

I found a lovely new t-shirt at another place I stopped though

[Skittles]

29. I got some kazoos

soldiers kept one and gave the rest to Iraqi children :)

[Susang]

30. Is this another thread mocking popular DU flamefests?

Just wanted to make sure before I posted.

[taterguy]

38. It's whatever you want it to be

I've learned that it's pointless to try to take control over your own thread

[TK421]

31. How was Cracker Barrel? Apparently, they're very popular

I've never been there ( I'm not even sure they are around here ) :shrug:

[mcscajun]

32. They're all corporate-owned, not franchised, so they are reliable

wherever you go; a nice comfortable place to stop on a long car trip. Most have signs visible from the Interstate, and pretty easy on and off those routes.

Not great food, but good and enough.

Based in Tennesse, they're on most of the major interstates on the East Coast (and elsewhere), and there are loads of 'em in PA.

[Nikia]

34. What did you eat there?

I ate there a few times during high school and actually liked the food.

[taterguy]

37. Chicken with cheese and brocoli

It was actually pretty good

[spinbaby]

35. Did you enjoy the giftware?

Cracker Barrels always give me claustraphopia.

[taterguy]

36. I hate to sound like a gift-snob but it didn't do much for me

I prefer genuine oddities, like this spiffy Camel ad that I found at a Seattle poster shop:
