Another ZW Restaurant Story: Breakfast at Bob's Big Boy

[Zomby Woof]

Nini and I enjoyed a decent breakfast with a nice cross-section of South Bay citizens. The service was pleasant and I enjoyed my coffee.

[The Straight Story]

1. I Used To Go To Bobs

Big Boy when I was a child in southern California. It went out of business (along with several others in outer lying areas) years ago. Glad to see there are still some Big Boys left! :)


Edit: The DU account was signed in as my husband. LOL. This is AutumnMist. Oops! Sorry!

[Zomby Woof]

2. This one was a re-birth

It was built brand new late last year. They are trying to make a comeback. :-)

3. uh-

[Zomby Woof]

[buddhamama]

5. i am gonna liven things up

buddhamama coming to a thread near you. I hope you like nuts! :D

[Zomby Woof]

7. I love' em! Because sometimes I feel like a nut...

And sometimes, I feel like sitting around making funny noises with my armpits. :bounce:

[Catshrink]

6. How was the salad?

:evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

8. SHE NEVER BROUGHT ME MY SALAD!!!!

:grr:

Luckily for me, it was a self-serve buffet, where I could only blame myself if I forgot to put gravy on my biscuits. :P

[buddhamama]

9. what, no salad?!

fuckin' fascists. :D

[Zomby Woof]

10. No rotisserie chicken or peach pie either!

They are not only fascist, they are deleted by the moderator. :argh: :nuke: :grr:

[Catshrink]

11. Costco didn't have peach pie yesterday either.

Just that overly sweet caramel apple thing. Boooooo.

What an idiot to forget to put gravy on your biscuits.

[Zomby Woof]

12. Costco has gone fascist!!!!

Obviously a Rovian plot to tamper with our favorite pies!! :nuke:

[xchrom]

13. how could you forget to put gravy on your bisquits?

:shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

14. I didn't

Catshrink is smearing me, a la "Path to 9-11"... I put jam on them instead! :9

[xchrom]

15. now i see...

psych on me!

[Zomby Woof]

16. I LOVE gravy on biscuits

But this was not the venue for that. :D

Maybe next week, lol.

[xchrom]

17. as i said in your other thread -- at least i think it was your thread --

my fav food in the whole wide world.

i love to make it from scratch.

i even save bacon fat -- just so i can make it.

[Zomby Woof]

18. Hell yes!

I like to fry white corn in bacon fat in my iron skillet. :9

[xchrom]

19. heaven on earth!

20. Your story was awfully boring, so I fixed it.

Here's what really happened at the South Bay Bob's Big Boy:

NINI: Here? It's a coffee shop.

ZW: What's wrong with that? People never rob restaurants, why not? Bars, liquor stores, gas stations, you get your head blown off stickin' up one of them. Restaurants, on the other hand, you catch with their pants down. They're not expecting to get robbed, or not as expecting.

NINI: (taking to idea) I bet in places like this you could cut down on the hero factor.

ZW: Correct. Just like banks, these places are insured. The managers don't give a fuck, they're just tryin' to get ya out the door before you start pluggin' diners. Waitresses, forget it, they ain't takin' a bullet for the register. Busboys, some wetback gettin' paid a dollar fifty a hour gonna really give a fuck you're stealin' from the owner. Customers are sittin' there with food in their mouths, they don't know what's goin' on. One minute they're havin' a Denver omelette, next minute somebody's stickin' a gun in their face.

Nini visibly takes in the idea. ZombyWoof continues in a low voice.

ZW: See, I got the idea last liquor store we stuck up. 'Member all those customers kept comin' in?

NINI: Yeah.

ZW: They you got the idea to take everybody's wallet.

NINI: Uh-huh.

ZW: That was a good idea.

NINI: Thank you.

ZW: We made more from the wallets than we did the register.

NINI: Yes we did.

ZW: A lot of people go to restaurants.

NINI: A lot of wallets.

ZW: Pretty smart, huh?

Nini scans the restaurant with this new information. She sees all the PATRONS eating, lost in conversations. The tires WAITRESS, taking orders. The BUSBOYS going through the motions, collecting dishes. The MANAGER complaining to the COOK about something. A smile breaks out on Nini's face.

Nini: Pretty smart. (into it) I'm ready, let's go, right here, right now.

ZW: Remember, same as before, you're crowd control, I handle the employees.

NINI: Got it.

They both take out their .32-caliber pistols and lay them on the table. He looks at her and she back at him.

NINI: I love you, Pumpkin.

ZW: I love you, Honey Bunny.

And with that, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny grab their weapons, stand up and rob the restaurant. ZombyWoof's robbery persona is that of the in-control professional. Nini's is that of
the psychopathic, hair-triggered, loose cannon.

ZW: (yelling to all) Everybody be cool this is a robbery!

NINI: Any of you fuckin' pricks move and I'll execute every one of you motherfuckers! Got that?

[Zomby Woof]

22. But where's the snakes?

On the motherfuckin' plane???

(Oh wait, wrong Samuel L. Jackson movie!) :D

[deucemagnet]

24. Find the guy with the wallet that says "Bad Motherf***er on it...

...the snakes are with him. :P

[Beausoir]

21. Well, this is a first, isn't it?

I demand my money back for this thread. I was expecting something so much more.

[Zomby Woof]

23. Well um...

:blush:

The check is in the mail?? :o :D

[hippywife]

25. Oooh!

Now I'm craving a Big Boy and onion rings! There aren;t any Big Boy restaurants around here, either!
