Anyone going to Denny's on Tues. Feb 3, 2009?
« on: February 02, 2009, 02:03:12 PM »
Is anybody going to Denny's Tuesday between 6AM and 2PM??? 

They advertised on TV during the Superbowl (twice) that they were giving away a free Grand Slam breakfast to everyone in America at that time.

Bet they would have a heart attack if they looked in the parking lot and scene about 200 car loads of people coming in. :o :o

My time is worth more to me than the value of a free breakfast.

Yea. I just talked to my wife about it. I think we might just go. We would also take my mother she has not been out in a while. Dale

I'd take them up on it, never eaten at a Denny's and I don't even know where one is...

Guess I'll eat at Biscuitville with my buddies again in the morning...

Not much chance of that. If I recall right he is a defense lawyer. As long as there are criminals he will have a job. Dale

For what they charge... most lawyers should be considered criminals.
The legal sytem is just as corrupt as the political system.

I work for myself defending the rights granted by the constitution.  If you have a problem with that you should take it up with the founding fathers.  I'm always amazed at the people who pick and choose the rights they think people deserve.

The founding fathers are rolling in their graves at the way the Constitution is being trampled upon by people supposedly defending the rights granted by it. ;)

99% of the lawyers make the other 1% look bad. :D :D

The grand slam is a good break fast, I'm not sure I'll be getting any where near a Dennys today or I'd take them up on it. As far as having time or your time being more valuable than that, if your life is that hectic I truly feel sorry for you. It runs from 6 AM to 2 PM if you don't have time  for lunch you surly have a terrable life.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

The closest Denny's to me is over 20 miles away, so by the time I use up the extra gas, it ain't free. gypsyman

About 125 miles for me. I ate at a Denny's about 15 years ago while staying over night in Milwaukee. Once was enough.

the stuff i see on here never ceases to amaze me.  now we slam on a guy for having educated himself and getting a secure job as a result.  i guess he is as big a s.o.b. as me because i am a union member.

I went to a Dennys a few months ago. Greasy, excessive quantities, salty. Disgusting.

I'm not slamming him at all.
I said "most" not "all"... dukkillr could be the best attorney who ever lived for all I know.
If he took my statement personally... I'm sorry for that.
As far as the Constitution being defended... the election just proved that ain't happenin' ;)

There's nothing wrong with being a union member.

As far as whether or not you are an "s.o.b."... That's on you. ;)

This used to be a thread about free food and breakfast on Denny's...but an hour an a half ago it ended. 

I didn't get there myself.  My "steel horse" is in the "metal barn" getting fixed.  I'm still hungry though. 

Hope it went well for Denny's and it's emplyees.  Pretty aggressive "buying breakfast for America".  Wonder what it cost the corporation?

Yesterday was my father-in-laws 87th birthday.  He has seen a lot in life, including four years in the Army Air Corp in Africa, Europe, and flying over the hump.  Having survived that I did not want to take him to Denny’s for a free breakfast this morning.  I had to go into town anyway and I invited him to brunch.  I like the Grand Slam but it is not worth being in a crowd.  I drove by Denny’s and the crowd was out the door into the parking lot.  Good for Denny’s.

We had a good breakfast of sirloin, eggs, potatoes, toast, and coffee for a total of $17.00 at a locally owned restaurant.  I had not had my morning coffee yet, and they kept my cup full.  I have noticed lately Denny’s has been stingy with the refills. I am luck to get one refill during a meal.

When I am traveling around the country I can guess what I will be getting at a Denny’s.  I remember a stop at a greasy spoon off the freeway when returning from a Colorado hunting trip.  We had been fighting snow for hours and the lights of the local roadside café were beckoning.  We set at the counter because we wanted fast service and back on the road.  After ordering I started looking around and was amazed how unkempt the place was.  On top of a stainless steel refrigeration unit there was thick grease and lent.  The wall had dried, splattered pancake mix on it.  I eat my pancakes and eggs, and did not get sick.  Most likely my immune system was better for it.

I have been in some old and tired Denny’s but never one as dirty as that locally owned one along I-15.

Over breakfast the father-in-law said he has fifty pounds of plumbers lead in his garage.  I ask him if it was any good for casting bullets.  He did not know.

I passed back by the Denny’s just afternoon, and the crowd was gone, but the parking lot was full.

Since he is defending RIGHTS he does it for less than just regular lawyers
