Steak worth fighting for

[Ed Pawlowski]

I'd not want the cheap steak to start with but seems like some will
fight for it.

I made the mistake of eating in a Golden Corral in West Virginia. The
clientele reinforced several stereotypes. Quite frankly, I could see
them getting upset if there was not enough food at the trough, but I
can't imagine them moving fast enough to get into a brawl.

[Peter]

Ghe? Uhm, can you go into more detail? I don't get it

[jmcquown]

Good grief!

Jill

[jmcquown]

I can't speak to those stereotypes since I've never been in a Golden
Corral restaurant. The reported story I saw (different site, included
the video) does allow me to make a guess about the two customers who
allegedly started it before it turned into a melee. They probably don't
watch/read the news. If they did, they'd be aware of supply chain
issues. Not only in restaurants which, hey, mostly haven't been open
for the last 2 years due to Covid, but also in grocery stores. It's
perfectly conceivable a restaurant may run out of something. It's no
reason to start a brawl.

LOL, that's about the size of it. I've been to a Golden Corral about 3
times. The first time was after lunch in the early evening. That was a
mistake. The food was down-right awful; slop is about right.

The other couple of times that I went, it was in the morning, about 11
AM, right as they opened. It was OK, at best; food was slightly more
fresh, but I have no interest in going back.

[Bryan Simmons]

I went there a few times when my son was younger. He and
his friends requested it. I mostly just pigged out on fried
chicken, lettuce and cherry tomatoes. I doubt I'll ever go
back.

Pretty funny, I clicked on the url, at the same time deriding it, muttering allowed, "I can't believe people want to read about this crap" then accessing the article and finding myself discouraged that it was only an article and not a video. I want to see what happened. I DO NOT JUDGE ON WORDS ALONE - and even the video footage may not be alone. Either way, rest assured, I will in time render a verdict. It might take a long time because I am so fair that sometimes I am unable to reach an actual verdict, afraid it might be the wrong one.

I want to be right. Step one in my quest - stay away from the Golden Corral

I hope you're correct. Whatever the right-wing nutcases

Knocking out the electrical grid could spark some action in little time flat. Most would wait, figuring a day or two and everything will be alright. By then the market shelves are bare. Some with minimal but sufficient knowledge might be able to make it in the wilderness, finding their own food, etc. In time they too will meet with great competition. Then, as is to be expected, we will resort to the real truth we all know deep within us - that the time for cannibalism is here. Keep your weight low and walk in small fast circles if you have to go out at all.

No, it is a middle class, mostly white area. It is on Street Road, near
shopping malls, other restaurants. I know the area well. The sort of
place you'd take your daughter for shopping. I lived about 5 miles from
the area.

I've always liked the "food bar" type of restaurants and there are many
good ones. *

One has a great variety of food offered and you can eat just as healthy
or unhealthy as you choose.

* When my daughter was young, we went to Shoney's every friday evening
and just ordered the salad bar food.

Been to a few steak houses and ordered steak and fries plus the salad
bar (unlimited trips to the salad bar)

A chain called "Old Country Buffet" was the same setup as Golden Corral.
Pay when you go in then eat all you want and tons of varieties available.

An expensive restaurant here called, "Captain Georges" with the ultimate
giant seafood (and other things) buffet. Still very popular here.

Then there's Golden Corral. It's a good quality one too but depends on
location and management.

I went to one location often and it was a real treat.
Tried a different location one time and it wasn't so good.

Referring to a food buffet restaurant as a trough is just ignorant.
At least try one before you give a review.

i'd been to a few several times, if you like very salty
food, poorly done, well then that's for you for sure.

if all i wanted was mass produced salty food i could eat
frozen t.v. dinners from the brand names for about 1/4-1/3
of the price.

I'll tell you what. The day that seafood restaurants close in Hawai'i will be when the cows come home.

That sounds like an interesting job. A huge animatronics factory in the
tri-state area burned down in the 1960's (I forgot the name). They used
to supply shopping malls, etc, all over the country. Someone sold
several of them at our antique mall. Creepy things, especially since
some were slightly melted and had dark fur from smoke damage during that
fire all of those years ago... they were almost like out of a horror film.

[Michael Trew]

"Gradual" decline in society...

[Sheldon Martin]

It was a very interesting job, I got to do a lot of traveling for
installations and service calls. Our shop was in New Hyde Park, NY...
a fully equipt machine shop. We built a lot of animations for museums
and planetariums too.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Yes, and an "all you can eat" will draw a different crowd than fine
dining. Or even the Chilis and Applebees along there.

It is q stretch of road from Rt 13 to Rt 1 and have every commercial
establishment you can think of for shopping, dining, Holiday Inn, coffee
shops, even a horse race track.

Even middle class has upper and lower ends on the graph.

I despise most social media. The newsgroups are the best. I guess most people hit Facebook and the other crapholes because they allow photos. In the old days you had to take out your wallet to force pictures on people. Today the wallet has been replaced by Facebook. I also find it arrogant to some degree to get notifications from Facebook people, to "See so and so's photo now", like it's some big deal if we miss it. Like the url you could not access - no loss there, no loss at all.

Thanks, not interested really. Saw enough of that kind of shit for real in life, I don't go searching for it on the web. Incredible how these brawls go on forever and yet hardly anyone gets violently injured. I think it's because of the large number of people acting as barriers or landing spots. You nail someone with a chair you gotta move quickly on to the next person or you might get slammed from behind. Looked like a lot of individual bullfights going on there with people using chairs instead of the pic or lance or whatever it's called in the ring. No sound on the vid. No complaints, I didn't want to hear it anyway. But I'll bet it was loud. Real loud.

I have to go way back for them, to 1976-1982 or so. Nice salad bar,
food was ordered at the table (not buffet style).

I got the video right away. Sometimes things don't work out right with links. I just move on. I can live without it. I am not a big fan of watching videos on the web. I do watch TV though. It's a luxury. I like the prone position. I know some people can hook their internets up to their TVs and so forth. Some use the laptop in bed, like an open book. I don't go for that. I don't have the cash for all the gismos, and in some ways I'm glad. All hooked into everything just waiting to break down, like looking under the hood of a car with a big engine with lots of plugs and wires and all I can think is, "Man, that's an awful lot of shit waiting to go wrong." So I would not want to hook my internet up to the TV even if I could. Anyway, I accessed the video and I appreciate you sending it, but to be honest I found it a bore as is the case with most videos I've seen on the web, some attaining some form of celebrity status I just can't understand.

My wife saw that video clip on TV. She thought it was pretty darn funny. I said "what's so dang funny?" She thought it was funny on several different levels. First you got the concept of a fight at a buffet, then you got the sight of high chairs flying through the air. When the guy says he thought the fight was over a piece of meat, she really lost it. Perhaps her job at the funny farm is getting to her.

Not all cartoons are for young children. I wouldn't let my young
daughter watch something like that. Young children should have
supervised internet access.

Parents in the 30's were saying that about "the funnies", Gary:

"Tijuana bibles (also known as eight-pagers, Tillie-and-Mac books, Jiggs-and-Maggie
books, jo-jo books, bluesies, blue-bibles, gray-backs, and two-by-fours) were
palm-sized pornographic comic books produced in the United States from the
1920s to the early 1960s. Their popularity peaked during the Great Depression era.

Popeye and Blondie were the most popular cartoon characters appearing in
Tijuana bibles in the 1930s, judging by the number of their appearances. Another
set of ten bibles featured radio stars, including Kate Smith. Another
set of ten comics used characters from Snow White, with each of the seven
dwarfs starring in his own X-rated title.

Tijuana bibles were sold under the counter for 25 cents in places where men
congregated: barrooms, bowling alleys, garages, tobacco shops, barber shops,
and burlesque houses.

The scale on which Tijuana bibles were produced can be gauged from the
large hauls announced in police seizures. Eight million bibles were reported
seized in one November 1942 raid by FBI agent P.E. Foxworth and his men
on a New York City warehouse and a printing plant in the South Bronx.

During the 1939 World's Fair, men selling pornographic booklets on the midway
at the fair were trailed to a warehouse near the Brooklyn Navy Yard where
David Brotman and Ben Reisberg were arrested and a cache was seized of 350,000
printed items and photos and 50,000 condoms, along with printing plates.

A 1954 episode of Dragnet ("The Big Producer") had Sgt. Joe Friday breaking
up a high school smut ring which includes a teenage boy (played by Martin Milner)
selling eight-pagers out of his school locker. They are called "joke books" by the
seller. The term "Tijuana Bible" was used in the 1968 Dragnet episode "The Starlet".

Most Tijuana bibles were obscene parodies of popular newspaper comic strips of
the day, such as "Blondie", "Barney Google", "Moon Mullins", "Popeye", "Tillie the
Toiler", "The Katzenjammer Kids", "Dick Tracy", "Little Orphan Annie", and "Bringing
Up Father". Others made use of characters based on popular movie stars, and sports
stars of the day, such as Mae West, Clark Gable and Joe Louis, sometimes with
names thinly changed. Before World War II, almost all the stories were humorous
and frequently were cartoon versions of well-known dirty jokes that had been
making the rounds for decades.

The artists, writers, and publishers of these booklets are generally unknown, as
their publication was illegal, clandestine, and anonymous. The quality of the
artwork varied widely. The subjects are explicit sexual escapades usually
featuring well-known newspaper comic strip characters, movie stars, and
(rarely) political figures, invariably used without respect for either copyright or
libel law and without permission. Tijuana bibles featured ethnic stereotypes
found in popular culture at the time, although one Tijuana bible
("You Nazi Man") concluded on a serious note with a brief message
from the publisher pleading for greater tolerance in Germany for the Jews..."
