Have you even seen teenage girls eat without teen age boys around? I've seen three teenage girls kill three large pizzas and want more.

Good point. My daughters are 28 and 31, so I kinda forgot about that...

Ugh, still in for the breakfast, but my day got much busier. So I won't be there for too long

I feel your pain. I gotta drive my wife to work at 9 so I'll be late, so I guess I'll be stuck with a tactically undesirable seat with my back to the door.

With everyone there, you should be safe. I'd see the larger disadvantage to be the reduced availability of bacon.....

True. I've said before, if anything were to happen there I'd probably just plug my ears anyway. :)

There are also relentless breakfast sausages which are very yummy, and will put you in the same state of cholesterol shock as the bacon. Then there are scrambled eggs, French toast, and scrambled eggs with chorizo sausage show up some time.

Pay lot to the east. Put your pay stub on you dash. When it switched over to pay stub I didn't read all of the directions. Became a very costly breakfast.

Just a short note of thanks to the organizers here, and to George and Cheri and their staff for the opportunity to put a couple names onto faces, and have a great, healthy meal! Remember, blood pressure is like oil pressure. The higher the better.

FYI for NEXT time, seeing as we all pulled this one off, if you go UP Wacouta street 2 blocks beyond East 7th Street and then hang a U-Turn (traffic permitting!!!) as you go back South on Wacouta you will find all the parking meters on you right are the old fashioned kind, have a 10 hour capacity, and are only 25 cents for 30 minutes!!!

I paid $4 for 24 hours, then gave my ticket to a couple guys just getting in the parking lot as I was leaving - thus improving their day. ;)

Thanks to George, Cheri, and everyone else at the Gopher for the great breakfast. Thanks to Sam also for getting this event going.

My wife thoroughly enjoyed the meal. She overloaded on bacon and happily complained of it the rest of the morning. She was rather curious about all the people carrying pistols, I just explained it was George's rule for the event. I didn't have the courage to open carry myself as I didn't want to get into that type of discussion on our anniversary.

Again, thanks to everyone for a great meal and start to the day.

Oh....so THATS why she was looking at my waist the whole time. Here I thought she was just a fan of my .44
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.

That's what I did. I was feeling smart until I realized I was short of cash for my coney & Grain Belt and I had to pay the $2 idiot fee at the ATM. (Still worth it though :) )
