…..and I know about that.

AND you’re gonna write about the stomach pump at the ER

Pretty hard to ask out that cute nurse while she’s pumping your stomach.

Cosmo needs an All You Can Write Tuesday.

And the recommended stomach medicine for after Tuesday’s dinner is……?

The plot needs a little work too.

It as a dark and stormy night at the diner

…. when a stranger walked in, carrying a custom gold fork with 4 tines. I ignored him and stuffed my face….

And the customers were dropping like flies. Then the crow gang walked in.

It certainly wasn’t Roz’s ! ! ! !

If the restaurant is Treetops Diner that´s a mean threat.

I suspect that Cosmo is banned at all you can eat diners like card counters are banned at casinos.

You’re going to have to wait it’s Monday.

“Roz’s Special Casserole was on the menu and was later suspected of being the cause of all the trouble.”

A smorgasbord of verbiage?

If the all you can eat was at Roz’s place, you can bet she made money, especially if she was able to suck in some new customers.

I needed spaghetti and meatballs. I needed chianti. I needed a Caesar salad. What I had was a ham sandwich, day old fries, and cold coffee.

I’ve been to a few diners where “All you can eat” might be better phrased as “All you can stand.”

Bet those diners don’t allow Mr Creosote inside.

A plot twist, rightout of the gate! Most places have “TacoTuesday”
