I also had a horse that was suspended in air on a frame and attached with heavy springs. You held onto handles coming out of his ears and rocked back and forth, and up and down.

Still have one of those in mom’s basement. No idea how many times we got thrown off that thing.

We still have several Yankee Clipper runner sleds down there too.

We do a ton of work out there. As long as you have your **** wired tight on the state air pollution and hazmat regs you're good. Every little burg doesn't have a hand out trying to screw you over.

Fact. I used to love Krystals. Still do. But nowadays, a bag of Krystals is a guaranteed Crapnado within two hours.

First stop after I land at TYS is the Alcoa Hwy Krystals. Next stop is usually a gas station or other rest room an hour down the road. Worth every damn bit of agony though.

i get diarrhea just from walking in there. I can honestly say I have never had anything from Krystals or White Castle. the smell of that place is disgusting.

i need a pressure washer bath to get the airborne grease off me.

last time i was in there was in the prime of my eating career. 18 years old, running 7 miles a day, and probably eating 4k calories a day too. I would eat just about anything you put in front of me.

its literally they only time I have had to leave a place with my appetite ruined, because of the food specifically. I have been to Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and all over the small towns in the south.

Ha. Yep. Back when I was a young buck, my parents and I used to go to the Krystals on Clinton Highway. For me, it was so much fun watching them cook the burgers right in front of us, and then eating them right after they came off the grill.

I remember the time the roof on the old K-Mart there caught fire while we were eating dinner. When you're 12 or so years old, it don't get any better than that. Krystals and fire trucks. High cotton, as they used to say....back when you could.

Memories.

I think like a lot of things for me growing it was ruined for me because it was ruined for my dad. He said they used to go a lot when he was younger and he got sick of it. so when we were growing up we never went as kids cause dad wouldnt allow it.

Well, I just saw the following subtitle on the Bret Baier show:

"TEXAS TO BECOME THE FIRST STATE TO DENY REFUGEES"

... so we still got a ways to go to catch up with Cali... LOL

So go live that life now. Eat the local fare in Guatemala, PR, and Biloxi. Red beans and rice; Mudbugs; Ribs; Chicken and Waffles; whatever. Go where you see the crowd at lunch. Odds are, the food there is good.

You only get one pass at life, LV. So live it. What is a small case of the s***s, compared to the fun of filling your belly with food you know you're going to regret eating later?

Think of all the jobs you're creating for the good folks at Charmin...

:cool:

Oh, but don't drink canned beer in Puerto Rico. Apparently, it comes with a formadehyde-related preservative, since they don't refrigerate their beer there. Worst headache I've ever had in my life came after Monday Night Football in Roosevelt Roads one night back in the 90's. Liketa killed me.

But the red beans and rice in Old San Juan? Hard to beat. And you could fart a blimp to flight pressure in a matter of hours the following day...lol.

That’s one thing I’ve always done in my travels around the country , when we shut down for the night we find out what the best local food is and fill up on it . Some times we just stumble onto something . I got stranded in a snow storm in Pennsylvania, we only had one place to stay and it was directly across the highway from a small Italian diner with a brick oven . One of the best and biggest Calzones I’ve ever put in my mouth .
