'Splain, please. Sorry, it's very early in the morning and that's my

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Schlotzsky's...

The lodge tennis court can only be used after skiing. The courtside
sign rather graphically states:

Mmmm, Schlotzsky's.

Hah! Thanks, Peter. Even fully awake I don't think I would have gotten
it. I'd have thought it meant "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Schlotzsky's".

To be honest I wouldn't have said Schlotzsky's. I don't think we have
those restaurants here in Canada, but I'm double-checking with the
Chowhound folks up here.

The first Schlotzsky's I ever was in was on a trip to Canada.
But, as with Katie Couric, I can't remember if we were in Canada at
the time....

My first Schlotsky's was in Athens, GA, where I loved for a few years in
the 90s. It was the scene of my second least successful attempt to predict
the future.
I had just moved there, and had left my car up in North Carolina at my
mom's house. So my friend Jeff drove down to visit and I was going to ride
back up with him to fetch my car. Before we hit the road, we stopped at
Schlotsky's for an early lunch.
Out front of the place was a newspaper stand, and the banner headline on
the Atlanta Constitution read "IRAQI TANKS ROLL INTO KUWAIT". Jeff said
"Oh, I don't like the look of that." and I shrugged and said "Those middle
eastern countries are invading each other all the time. It'll probably blow
over in a couple of weeks."

I hope you ate at The Taco Stand while you were there...

I've eaten at the Taco Stand enough times to horrify my doctor, I imagine.
Especially the good one over on Prince -- not that the other locations
don't also have their charms.
Sadly, I no longer live in Athens, so it's a long drive just for the Taco
Stand. If I'm gonna drive all the way over to Athens, I'm gonna eat at
Harry Bissett's.

A few years back, the LA Zoo opened a new Small Felines of Africa
exhibit; it was sponsored by The Discovery Channel, and Wrigley's.
Opeining night was invitation only, and they had special "tickets" to
be let in: a toy carcharodon, and golden wrapped gun.
That's right . . .
No Shark.
No Chews.

Good. I'm relieved, as I'm sure the Small Felines would have been.

I was wondering to myself if there was any way to have done
this that would have been funny. I decided, "no," because
it was just too contrived. Even if you had two panels. Maybe
if you stretched it to three or four by disguising some of the
stuff in separate word bubbles, a la PBS.
And I *like* puns.

You might have been, according to a couple of Chowhounds who replied
to my question whether there were Schlotskys here. One said "There
used to be one beside the University of Waterloo [Ontario] but it
closed years and years ago. I'm assuming it was the same chain. This
was in the early 90's so things may have changed since then?" Someone
else in Vancouver replied, "The one in Waterloo is not part of the
chain."

Well, I was in a bit of a hurry; mistakes tend to happen when
working under the gum . . .

I did a bunch of walking around in Kitchener, that's near by...
Could have been there. It was the early 90's...

There was one in a mall near Queen and King, in the spot
the Rainbow Cafe (?) is currently in.

Their web site claims Canadian locations, but hte store locator seems only
to work for US stores. I do like their rolls!
