[LeftofObama]

1. Is anyone breastfeeding?

Are there any pit bulls around?

[LynneSin]

2. According to Dear Abby the newest thing is changing diapers on the restaurant table

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I run a restaurant in a small town. Recently, my wife came home on my day off and told me that during the lunch hour, one of our servers had come into the kitchen and announced that they'd need extra sanitizer on table 29 because a mother was changing her baby on it!
What has happened in our society that people don't understand that this is unsanitary and rude? Had I been there, I don't know that I could have kept a civil tongue, and I feel like people today regard my disgust as unreasonable. Is there something I'm missing here? -- CAFE CRAZY

DEAR "CRAZY": I don't know who you have been talking to, but your disgust is not "unreasonable." What that mother was missing was common sense and courtesy for those around her. I agree that changing a baby on a restaurant table was out of the ballpark -- particularly if a changing table was available in the women's restroom of your cafe. (I'm assuming there is one, but if there isn't, the situation should be immediately rectified.)

5. I just got back from Olive Garden in my Depends. You may or may not want to ask me anything.

[LynneSin]

9. I started a copycat thread about you!!! Called you immoral

you didn't like it

[MiddleFingerMom]

12. I looked at it 3 or 4 times and thought it was an EXACT copycat -- it confused me.

Now I see "immoral" (one of my favoritest words) instead of "immortal" and I've fixed my doofushoodnessosity.

15. Or breastfeeding Pit Bulls?

[RedCloud]

3. Ask them if they love Obamacare.

[LynneSin]

7. It wasn't my choice

it's the kid's choice who is having a b-day

I'll be happy and small the whole time as I OD on unlimited breadsticks

[GoCubsGo]

6. Were you invited there by a narwhal?

[LynneSin]

8. No a friend's kid

she's a cutie pie but not very narwhalish

[taterguy]

10. Smoking or non-smoking section?

Bonus question: Does the OG have a bike rack?

[LynneSin]

11. It's Delaware - smoking section is outside in the parking lot

No clue on the bike rack but I will check and try not to run over any bikers with my car

[Liberal Veteran]

13. Don't forget to get something alcoholic for the little ones.

[In_The_Wind]

14. What are you going to order for dinner ?

[LynneSin]

25. I know what I"m going to have for after dinner - TUMS

I love my best friend and her family and it would take one amazing kid who just turned 16 to convince me to eat at Olive Garden.

[kentauros]

16. What's the last item on the menu?

Well?

[kwassa]

17. Did they drown the roasted potatoes in olive oil?

My memory of OG, the Original Gansta, er, Olive Garden.

[siligut]

21. That's the way I make Greek potatoes lots of olive oil, lemon juice and garlic

They are wonderful.

[kwassa]

22. I love olive oil, but ..... these potatoes were drowned.

As in completely soggy.

Several people with me who had ordered them as part of their meal also left them untouched, after the first bite.

I make roasted potatoes myself with olive oil, fresh rosemary, and garlic. I roast many veggies in olive oil.

[madinmaryland]

18. In Midtown Manhattan with an Asian woodcarver??

[underpants]

19. Say "I have a fever ... a fever for more kudzu"

[Incitatus]

20. Was your meal properly microwaved?

[TrogL]

23. Is that guy still there?

[Arctic Dave]

24. Can you ask the Pit Bull to stop smoking please.

[ZombieHorde]

26. Is anyone getting a circumcision?

I love diner and a show.

On a slightly more serious note, I am not a big Italian food guy, but I do love their breadsticks and salad combo thing. If there was an Olive Garden in my town, I would go sometimes to get that.

[LynneSin]

27. I use to love their breadsticks but that was from the last time I ate there circa late 1990s

Today the breadsticks taste like they are coated in garlic SALT which made them extremely salty

[Dash87]

28. Did eating the bread sticks remind you of getting a mouth full of sand at the beach?

It did for me. Might as well just grab the salt-shaker and pour its contents down my throat.

[LynneSin]

29. I use to love the breadsticks

Mind you last time I was at an OG was probably back in the 90s. But I remembered they had olive oil on them and garlic/parma shaked on them. They were yummy and plenty of flavor.

These things were just blah. And you're right - they were salty as hell!

[struggle4progress]

30. Did you get the chicken-fried-in-cornflakes?
