Christ, is this joint packed. Proving once and for all my long-standing assertion that the vast majority of filthy intolerant homophobes really like them a tasty chicken sandwich and some waffle fries, bomb threats or no.
— Which, you know what to do, Mayor Bloomberg. For the children.
I’m heading out to the local Chick-fil-a for dinner. I’m bringing a book, I hear the lines are loooooong.
I already knew before I got up this morning I wouldn’t be able to get near a Chick-fil-A today. Then again, for the one nearest my house that’s pretty much every day. It’s only a matter of time before they have to hire off-duty sheriffs for crowd control six days a week.
If I have to choose between A: an angry homosexual activist telling me that I’m a Christer murder nazi because I’m not kissing his ass every time he opens his mouth and B: a delicious tender pressure cooker fired chicken filet sandwich for $2.39 then I’m going to pick B. B is better.
So, taste the backlash you ignorant narcissistic pricks! No utopia for you!
Seriously, if Rahm Emanuel is on your side then you fucked up big time.
[…] II: Coincidentally linked by The Lonely Conservative. Now a Memeorandum thread.UPDATE III: Jeff Goldstein loves him some Chick-fil-A — because it’s homophobolicious!Category: Terrorism, West VirginiaCommentsPingback: […]
The irony of the progressive elites ham-fisted attempts at government censorship and general hostility towards small business resulting in even more business for Chik-Fil-A is probably lost upon them. But then, accounting for — or even being aware of — unintended consequences isn’t really their strong suit.
– What?…..Do I think your ass-fucking lifestyle is the hip. No.As a matter of fact I think you’re pretty fucked up, but what I keep wondering is if you think its so ‘natural’ and all of that then why do you so desperately need my approval?
– Now suck it up little buckeroo and eat your samitch.

– As I said in a previous thread, I’m waiting for an attack on Soup Plantation next, because you know, that just so transparently teh raaaaaaacist.
[Added a “http://www.” to di’s URL. Seems to look for the page at pw if you don’t do that.]
– You can get anything you want at ‘Alice and Jeff’s PW restaurant’.
I bet once the democrats get their time machine working they’ll go back and take out Sambo’s pancakes in the 70’s or even the late 50’s instead of waiting for the chain to mostly die off in the late 80’s/early 90′ because it was so “racist” and offensive. it;s down to the original store now, in CA.

Yeah, questionable taste I’ll grant you. Tacky? Sure. Insulting is mostly subjective. But racist? C’mon! They served #@#$ing pancakes! They were like iHOP or Jim’s or Denny’s.
– Denny’s is the original Sambo’s, at least here in S. Cal.
– We’ll be keeping a close eye on Coco’s and Star’bucks’.
just be careful about calling the dog boy
Every Chick-fil-a around here has been packed, all day long. Lines so long people are turning away.

uprising in the heartland. mbm not aware.
BBH, Sambo’s became Seasons became Denny’s. There is a Sambo’s in Santa Barbara that we used to hang out at when I was a surf punk of a kiddo.
I think the Sambo’s in San Diego (on Rosecrans) ended up being relabeled as Denny’s, but I am not sure. I remember the place from when I was a wee lad because I had the book “Little Black Sambo.” We ate there at least once.
I’m sure that makes me racist.
“Little Black Sambo” was my favorite book when I was a kid. Because I’m a racist.
The Sambo’s in Santa Barbara (still there!) has smiley tigers and sort of a jungle mural theme on the wall. Their menus had Mumbo, Jumbo and Sambo items on it before they changed to just regular, large and kids items. It was a buzzkill. I should’ve asked for a menu to take home back in the day.
O/T because I haven’t been able to catch up with Dicentra, I wanted to let Dicentra know I finished “The Forsaken” a couple of days ago.
The book is not a pretty story and the fecklessness of the FDR State Department is incredible.
I’ve never read a book that brought me so much heartache and frustration.

I just got back. Cars in the drive-thru lane going out into the shopping center lot. People parking at other restaurants and walking over in the rain. Absolutely packed.
And the sandwiches were as good as ever; hell, someone even came around and refilled my drink. No drop off in quality. Well done, Chick-fil-a!
I had lunch and dinner at Chick-fil-A today here in Lubbock, and was in the drive-thru line for 45 minutes for the latter. But it was worth it.
There were a handful of protesters outside when I went there for dinner. What a sad-looking, ugly, pathetic group of rejects. And they were far outnumbered by the normal people.
20 cars at the drive thru 25 people in line at 4:00 PM
Staff said they were overwhelmed at lunch and were expecting a huge turnout for dinner.
Guy in line in front of me spent 4 minutes thanking chic fil a and wanting to show his appreciation. He even told them he liked them on Facebook.
Then
He asked if he needed to buy something.
The folks in line behind us maintained their cool.
He got a lemonade.
In our Chick-fil-A, everyone started singing “God Bless America.”
This woman walked in, completely bewildered. She kept asking over and over, “Is something free? Why would so many people be here if they weren’t giving something away?”
Deborah, I hope someone explained to her that the people were there to make it clear they WOULDN’T give something away for free.
The Denny’s chain was around a long time before Sambo’s fizzled out. I know because a local chain in Sacramento, Eppie’s, was a family favorite as I was growing up, and my mom had a lot to say about competitor Denny’s — none of it good.
The ones in Sacramento had those too (Eppie’s wasn’t a pancake house so Sambo’s was okay). The Sambo character in the artwork never looked black to me.
That’s true, McGehee. A lot of Sambo’s made the evolution I spoke of, but Denny’s was always a competitor.
To paraphrase Lisa Simpson: “I’m so hungry I could eat at Denny’s.” Man, they were bad. Bad as Hardy’s or Arby’s bad. Their only saving grace was that they were open 24/7.
Sambo asways looked more like Hadji in the Johnny Quest cartoons to me.
McGehee beat me to it..
Denny’s predates Sambo’s … even as they probably absorbed locations when Sambo finally lost to the tigers.
I remember one local one when I was in high school (40 y/o) and was not impressed.
What I miss to this day is Bob’s Big Boy drive-in’s with car hops. Onion rings & chocolate shakes to die for.
As I said on other thread, I drove by my local ChickFilA near lunch and the place was packed. As said up thread – when I head out to buy dinner there, I’m taking my Kindle.
Standing in line; a representative just told us they are out of chicken. only waffle fries, drinks and gift cards.
Which are crunchy. But, ketchup!
So it seems operation Make-rahm-pay at check point fil-a was a big success
Never spent a more pleasant 45 minutes in line. Everyone was smiling as if to say they were all in on the operation
The local news (Austin) had some balding twerp saying how he only ordered water as a protest and tried to imply that at least some of the crowd was there to protest. They also made sure to mention how it was causing traffic problems.
LAME
But, ketchup!
Yeah and big ketchup! Chic-fil-a doesn’t fool around with those tiny packets.
this is better than dumping tea in the harbor
“some balding twerp saying how he only ordered water as a protest”
I bet it was served with a smile. Heck while I was waiting for my Hand Spun Cookies and Cream milkshake one of the associates asked me if she could get me a glass of water.

How bout we run sequels to any town that Obama visits between now and the election.
The closer to his speaking venue the better.
And post some of those Cow pictures anywhere he might pass.

What I miss to this day is Bob’s Big Boy drive-in’s with car hops. Onion rings & chocolate shakes to die for.
That was my first real job! Our slogan was “Steaks, Shakes and Pancakes” back then. I miss Big Boy’s when we’re traveling (and Howard Johnsons) since they were always clean and reliable.
hey proggtards chick fil a is a preview of november
– Managed a Manners in my late teens. Unabashedly favored the hops too. :)
– Good times, good times.
– Here in SD the Chick’s are over flowing with lomg lines at each one, and much to the dissapointment of the idiot media (the San Diego NBC affiliate has the ding dong ding of the parent network, but its a harsh tiny copy thats just like a damn cheap doorbell, makes me laugh everytime I hear it) narry a single protester.
Some idiot reporter from Florida lied on his Facebook page that the Chick-fil-A customers he spoke to were throwing around the kind of language only an idiot reporter would expect to hear from a crowd of Chick-fil-A customers, IYKWIMAITYD.
He got something like four “Likes” but his FB friends all seem to agree with him. I wonder how many comments he’s deleted.
The crowds just west of Fernandina Beach were very well behaved.
Well, that was fun. August 1 could very well become ‘Traditional Marriage Day’. Lots of people I talked to whilst in line outside said they were there to support for that reason.
Good!, I say. Tomorrow would’ve been our 27th ‘Traditional Marriage’ anniversary. It’ll be easy to remember!
– As lomg as the idiots keep their crap on FB and are content to play their little self mind fuck games of “I’m so popular” to their own echo chamber they can rot there for all we should care.
There used to be a Sambo’s just up the street from where I am now that we loved as HS kids because it was the only thing open all night. It’s long gone and a Burger King stands there now.
I wish they’d tear that down and put in a Chick-fil-a.
yeah, I overheard someone say, “I hope all these people vote” and some lady talking about her cat possibly breaking it’s “purr box”. which I think we all know what that means.
Rick Warren: @DanCathy just called me. #ChickFilA has already set a world record today, with 7 more hrs to go in the West. #OutOfChicken
We used to hang out weekend nights in high school at Howard Johnson’, order an apple crisp and fries split three or four of five ways. Sat there for hours. Looking back, the waitresses must have hated us.
Just for fun, here’s the Project Gutenberg eBook of the original Little Black Sambo. Anybody have any idea what was with the tigers wearing wrist watches?
any idea what was with the tigers wearing wrist watches?
a timex conspiracy i’m sure
Well, the tigers were already talking and desiring fine clothing, so I’m not sure where we’re supposed to suspend our disbelief.
I imagine the watches were from previous victims of their thievery.
I don’t remember them wearing wristwatches. I know that I always wanted Tiger Butter and pancakes whenever my mom read that book to me, though.
Maybe they were just very punctual tigers.
I only remembered the turning to butter part.
– When this backfires enough the Lefy will have their fila of a chickA.
Hello, just finished eating our ChickFilA dinner. I was in line for over an hour & half (going to get pics up soon) everyone was polite, cheerful and applauded each time the store managers came out to apologize for the long wait.
2 hours from standing in line until dinner on table
AND IT WAS WORTH IT
– HuffPoop yanked the Chicka bullshit fast, even for them. Comments were running 98% against.
– Boo fucking hoo.
– On another note Jug ears is doing a backdoor in the Syrian civil war, backing the rebels on the QT.
– There goes another block of his base, both the peace niks and the Islam ass kissers.
“I know that I always wanted Tiger Butter ”
That sounds like a natural big-money marketing idea. Just a box of four unsalted cream butter sticks/cubes and a happy looking tiger laying on the front like a kitty. And it’s called Tiger Butter.
Brilliant!
Tiger butter is actually the name of a (really rich, amazingly delicious) fudge that’s marbled white and dark chocolate.
Stopped by my local CFA in Tampa on the way home last night. The place was packed and I could barely find a parking space. One of the first things I witnessed before entering the building, was a couple of people in a Prius honking their horns and screaming “Racists!” out of their window as they drove by(not sure how racism factored it – maybe it was easier to scream then “homophobes!!”). Inside, however, there was a huge diverse crowd of people- alot of families and little kids. The employees looked exhausted but were still polite- the manager, Dave, who took my order said he had been there since 4 AM. He said he was likely to appreciate all the support alot more, AFTER his shift was over. I spent a couple of minutes talking to a black solider from the local air base, who was seriously being treated like a rockstar by the crowd- people kept coming up and thanking him for his service and telling him to be safe. The crowd reminded me very much of the local Tea party rallies I had been to – polite, friendly, very family oriented. Nobody was upset they had to stand in line (I waited about half hour for my food). All in all, a very good experience eating some chicken and thumbing my nose at Twinkletoes Emmanuel and his fellow thug mayors.
Suggested Romney tagline from now on: “Eat More Chick’n”
And I have an orignial “Little Black Sambo” book. It’s in terrible condition but it’s pretty cool.
