    We have driven by several times. Tell me more, please? Are they clean, tasty, yet budget friendly? There is also something called a Backyard Burger. Has anyone tried that?

    Five Guys grills their burgers right in front of you, they're ridiculously tasty and you choose from a range of toppings, unlike the typical fast food joint. They're all along the east coast. Their fries are just as good, if not better, than their burgers. Fresh cut boardwalk-style fries, fried with peanut oil. Love that place. They're clean, usually play classic rock and their burgers cost about $5-5.50. I typically don't get a drink, but with a small (which is a typical large at another chain) fry, it costs about $9. Seems expensive, but it's actually pretty on par with everywhere else I go - except McDs or BK.

    Never heard of Backyard Burger. Where are they?

    Thanks. Perhaps we should try it. I am not much for eating out, esp when meat is involved, but that sounds pretty good.

    BYB, never been so I don't know if its any good.

    Yeah, I've been there, done that too. Now I'm a member of a 15 person dept and staff meetings are hell. Bosslady is always too busy to talk to people, so when she goes around the table, folks yammer on and on about stuff that doesn't involve the rest of us. I like to get there late so I can sit away from the table and watch everybody try to stay awake. It's brutal. The blind guy has got it made. ;)

    Thanky, don't mind if I do...

    Geesh, I hate 'em. Plus we're supposed to have one every Tues... but they usually get cancelled. Then when we do have one, it's like today. Marathon. Then as if I wasn't sleepy enough, had to take an online training course this afternoon. It's a wonder I'm still awake. One girl said she was gonna tape the voice on that training vid to listen to when she had insomnia.

    Can't tell you how many times she spelled out "httpslashslashblablablaslashdotcom."

    Getta grip, lady.

    How do I know that's Scotch.It might be Seagram Seven.Or Kessler.
    Or basically any Bourbon.
    I can unequivocally say that it has taken me more than half my drinking life
    to recognize a quality booze in a glass either with or w/o Ice.
    It's an acquired talent.It has cost me dearly.More than any mere fancy Piper cub
    airplane.
    Seriously ... I can tell a quality booze just sitting in an expensive thick booze
    glass. Without giving away the specifics.
    Good booze has a tinge of thickness and clarity.

    Greetin's folks! What's everybody having?

    Here, whiskey. Ahh, whiskey. Canadian though, for reasons we are, um, unprepared to discuss. Canada ought to be good for something other than a hat.

    Mmm whiskey. Good... heh
