The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for February 18, 2014

I’m pretty certain this is a fairly recent rerun — wasn’t this one posted just a couple of months back?

Sure they do. Their guests sit on side chairs while the Penny’s get the Barcaloungers. Wait, thats a good thing, considering the grease and all. They have to sit in a booth, they wouldn’t fit at a tiny table, and the overhang on the chairs causes numbness and thus cuts short the 3 hour 6 plate dining experience!

No person in their house tells their guests where to sit…. but the smells do.

And yeah, they go to the Golden Ox at the height of dinner rush, take up enough room for six people, order the cheapest thing on the menu, linger over dinner, ask for extra rolls and hide them in Joy’s purse, along with the linen napkin…

steal sugar packetsand argue till they get to use a three-months-outdated two-fer coupon, just to get rid of them…and without buying the required two beverages.Then they complain loudly cos they can’t get the senior discount as well.

Every restaurant’s dream.

And I remember this one too… not sure how long ago.

Wonder if the Maitre’D looked at both of their bellies and said: “O.K.: so, when’re they due??”

Were I the Maitre’D I’d seat them in the “special” booth next to either the kitchen door, the restroom door or the vent to the unserviced grease trap. Let ‘em stay as long as they want. Make up extra plates from scrapings. They’re hogs anyway.

I’d like to know how they can even fit in a booth.

@Leaky,Their booth may have a moveable table.

Dazz,

Don’t know if you got the e-mail, but there’s a new Decorah eagles cam up and running for N2.

Are they expanding their “circle”? That’s not Dale and Marlene is it?

Sometimes I have been to restaurants where the booth seats are collapsed, my chin is nearly on the table. Now I know why.

Instead of seating them at a table, they should lead them to the trough.
