I can't remember what I had Fed Exed to me, but someone shipped some sort of food to me once. Also, there ARE overnight food delivery services, because someone sent me something from LA to a NY studio for one of my birthdays - can't remember if it was cold or warm but remember it worked.

Holy moley or rye - page two! PHLEGM!

MOJO!

I am so not tired right now. I think I'll do the mambo Italiano.

I have also decided that each Saturday shall be a Food Day - where everyone has to partake of the Food of the Day.

First, George, your roommate is a classic VCR ignoramous.

Second, Shakey's of my youngest youth was a pizza place. No doubt. That was what they did. Pizza, player piano, styrofoam turn-of-the-century hats, Keystone Kops movies, and balloons that looked like a little person, "Shakey". Then, in 1981 or so, they diversified, adding a big buffet. Kept the pizza, but cut back on the old-timey atmosphere.

PHLEGM! Pogue left his computer on the page while he went out and walked Tewkes and then got distracted by Saturday Live when he should have been working. Paris Hilton is the guest host. I just don't get this talentless rich girl. She's not even pretty. Oh, I can see where some twenty year old idiot could be enamoured of her...but she such seems like the usual self-absorbed girl who because she's tanned and blonde and rich...people think she's hot.

Rodzinski, there are several Shakey's here in LA....and I think in other parts of the country as well. I still occasionally will stop in there for their lunch buffett. I think they still have mojo potatoes.

Actually, they diversified in the mid-seventies - around 1974 to be exact. My daughter loved it there because she liked their pizza (which I hated), liked the long tables, and loved the potatoes and, I believe, broasted chicken.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #38 on:** February 06, 2005, 12:57:59 AM »

It used to be called Shakey's Bunch of Lunch. The menu has its stock and trade pizza plus chicken, pastas and sauces, mashed taters, mojo taters (I'm pretty sure) various veggies, plus a salad bar. The drink does not come with the price of lunch.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #39 on:** February 06, 2005, 12:59:51 AM »

Yes, the chicken, I think, is broasted...though it does not come close to the long-lamented broasted chicken king -- the now-defunct Ambers.

Loved Amber's. At the corner of Woodman and Ventura. Wonderful. And caused lots of PHLEGM.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #41 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:01:15 AM »

PHLEGM!

bk · « **Reply #42 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:02:07 AM »

I don't think Ann has caught up yet.

Now THIS is the way to have a late-night partay.

I, myself, am doing the mambo Italiano.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #43 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:02:48 AM »

You have to understand the diversification may have taken some time to reach the sticks of NW Indiana. I can say without question that that place was the only exposure I had to silent films of any sort.

I can just imagine the meeting at corporate Shakey's HQ.
"Kids these days don't want Harold Lloyd and player pianos, they want video games and Donna Summer music."

Charles Pogue: I know you like quiet. Did you hear some of the deafening silence during several of the SNL sketches this evening? Gads.

Just wait until the WUSSBURGERS log on in the morning.

Do you remember the night, Pogue, not all that long ago, just a couple of weeks ago, I think, when we had over 120 posts by two in the morning? THAT was hilarious. I think that was the first LIMBO night.

bk · « **Reply #45 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:04:39 AM »

Ann must be eating some PIE.

bk · « **Reply #46 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:05:03 AM »

You watch your phraseology.

bk · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:05:15 AM »

Ya wild kid, ya.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #48 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:13:51 AM »

Do I remember Limbo night? My back is still killing me (How low did I go?).

I will not be around here by the time post 120 happens tonight (unless it happens around ten tomorrow) as I intend to wuss out soon. I'm in that terrible work phase...the idea phase...always the hardest part for me, simply because I'm a meticulous outliner. But it's like staring at all the pieces of jigsaw and trying to fit them together.

Howcum no one does the Locomotion anymore? Where is Little Eva? Or the Pony? Remember Dee Dee Sharp and Ride (I'm gonna get onmy pony and ride).

Maybe we need a dance a day like the word a day...Black Bottom, Turkey-trot, the Carioca, the Continental, the Yam!

Rodzinski, they now have Big Screen TVs in Shakey's, mostly tuned to ESPN stations.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #49 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:15:24 AM »

Well, it's only one in the morning here? That explains me and BK. What's your excuse for being up so late, Rodzinski? What time is it where you are?

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #50 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:16:23 AM »

And if I have one more post in a row, I'm wussing on out of here...

bk · « **Reply #51 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:17:23 AM »

We've done every one of the dances you list, on our various birthday days. We haven't done the locomotion for some time, but it was quite popular here about two years ago. I, myself, am thinking about toddling off to the bedroom environment.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:17:56 AM »

Nice try.

bk · « **Reply #53 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:18:12 AM »

PHLEGM!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #54 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:18:53 AM »

It's only 4:18 in the a.m. here, and wussing out time is upon me very shortly.

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:19:41 AM »

I'm already thinking about what I'll eat tomorrow. I've sort of been craving pizza, but I'm not sure I'll do that. Decisions, decisions.

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:21:02 AM »

We still even have three GUESTS perusing the site.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #57 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:22:19 AM »

Officially wussing. Peace, gents.

Choose Mojo Potatoes as next week's food of the week. West Coasters must mail them to East Coasters.

bk · « **Reply #58 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:24:02 AM »

I, too, shall toddle off to bed, but first...

bk · « **Reply #59 on:** February 06, 2005, 01:24:29 AM »

I must have one final word: PHLEGM!
