What's your favorite item on the Ponderosa Steak House menu? I went there for the first time today, while visiting my grandma, and will be going again before the end of the month. My grandma had this coupon that gave me, my sister, and my mom the senior discount for the buffet. I got an entire heaping plate of the macaroni and cheese, and lots of random chicken items. Yum. But, next time I won't be getting the buffet, and so I'm wondering what I should get. It all looks so yummy.

After I finished eating I went over to the waiting area, and tried my hand at those claw machines. Didn't get anything, but I came close. Stupid prize fell out of the claw's grip two seconds after the claw picked it up. On the brightside, it was a fun way to spend my last $3.

I tried convincing my mom to let me drive us all to Lansing and try to find you, but for some reason she just wouldn't have that happen. I don't see why, you wouldn't have been that far out of the way to go. Oh well, at least I tried to visit you. Maybe next time....

Well your grandma knows that, other than you, the only people on the net are wierdos and perverts.

Hey, Santa isn't a werido pervert. I mean sure he sneaks into people's houses at night on christmas, and sees me when I'm sleeping and awake, and has my name on a list along with other children, and......Okay, I guess you are right...lol

You better not pout
You better not cry
You better not shout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is dead

It is only the little girls I eye with bad intent

Ponderola? Food, schmood. The girls there like me.

I usually just get the trough, as you did. When the wife and I married, part of our vows was "I pledge thee my trough." We call going to the buffet "troughing."

I actually like their chicken wings, and the pot roast stuff isn't bad, though I pick out the carrots. They have other stuff like ribs and stuffed peppers that are, well, unusual... I am very suspicious of their "prime rib." SOmetimes they have a big pile of popcorn shrimp. I likes them, so I get bowl of cocktail sauce and go through a couple plates of the little guys. And of course, then there is the Kale...

Hey Mom, let's drive to Lansing and look for this really old guy I've never met. I can't imagine her not going for that.

I was a bit overdue, but I got my annual haircut a few days ago. It was about a year and a half this time. Trimmed back maybe half the beard - the left half - so I no longer have the ZZ Top thing going, but I still got at least a RObert E Lee. Brush cut on top.

This makes no sense.

If Santa Clause is dead, then the children have no reason to modify their behavior.

The song is just as meaningful as saying, "I pledge allegiance to the United States of Fart."

Maybe we need a new rule that no-one tries to meet anyone they met on here, I can't see it ending well. I think I'm safe enough until the Michi-kids get passports (or the time machine working).

Dragon Star and I could meet. Although why he'd wanna meet some old chick from the intarnets, I dunno.

You're too late. Lance and I have met in real life after meeting on the internet, although I suppose you could say that we technically met at GLP, rather than here. Same thing for some members who've met Candy in real life.

But, speaking from my brief meeting with Lance and from what I've heard about Neocracker/Superluminal/Candy meeting, they were cordial and nobody came away scarred for life (Well, Lance was almost carried away by a gi-normous hornet/wasp/bee thing, but that's another story).

But then again, it's not a bad idea to keep in mind KOS's once-upon-a-time signature: "On the internet, nobody knows that you're an axe-murderer".

And why you would want to meet some boring kid, who's the epitome of silly is beyond me.

I can hardly entertain myself more less anyone else...

Well... that is, I'm... uhm...

Okay, false modesty aside, who wouldn't want to meet me? I'm too cool to not meet.

You could autograph one of Neil Young's albums.

My wife e-hangs out with some groups, and she dragged me along to a meeting they arranged. There were like 10-12 of us. They at least had known each other by their online handles, I have zero to go on with any of them. Well, excepting the wife. Everyone standing around trying to figur out how to relate to one another. But it was actually fun once we settled down. We had several people - myself included - make pots of chili and had a competition. I think mine didn't win because they didn't know me. No other possible reason. My chili rules, dammit.

It was fun, no one was hurt, though one guy looked a little unsure driving away. (No he was not drunk) We played Cranium. Corny but fun. Always worth a try, I'd say.

Well, you entertain me... after you piss me off...

I happen to know wulf and ta from other boardses, so I could at least meet them someday. (We are allowed to count BAUT, right?)

by **St. Jimmy** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 2:21 pm

Hippie and I have to meet at least two certain people on this board. I mean when me and hippie get married our kids are gonna have the same name as these two! :D

Let's see.... must meet Dragon Star because he's the epitome of silly. Must meet Lonewulf because he's just too cool not to meet. Must meet Umop just because. Must meet Enzo to see if he's really as charming as he claims. Must meet the rest of the Michikids 'cause they sound like fun. Must meet KOS 'cause he's funny and smart. Must meet Lance for the suck-up value of it if nothing else. Must meet the rest of the cool Illuminati because I think it'd be hilarious and educational at the same time.....

So you're saying you should throw a party?

by **troubleagain** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 3:54 pm

Sure! Just let me know when you'll all be in Florida! :wink:

No.

The Board Nazi Police will get you if you do.

You have been warned, citizen.

Um... I'm going to be down in the first week of June to go to Disney World. I would meet DS while I"m there, but Katie's family (my friend, person I'm going with) has every day packed with stuff to do, and it's during the week when DS would be working.

And Katie thinks that meeting people from internet is creepy, so I'll give DS a pass for her for now...

by **troubleagain** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 1:27 pm

Yeah, Himself always thought that especialy couples that meet via the internet are weird until I pointed out that his grand-parents met because they were pen-pals, and how was that any different?

by **hippietrekx** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:30 pm

I'd rather not meet people over the internet alone, but I'd do it if I had a friend with me. Katie just didn't want to meet anyone, so... yeah... I really don't blame her, though. Look at the news stories.

by **troubleagain** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 6:38 pm

I've never gone alone to meet any of you internet freaks, but I have been to several IRL meetings of people from a couple of my boards. Wait, I take that back. I did go to dinner alone in NYC with Big_Girl from SDMB/LJ and her husband. I'll admit to being a tiny bit nervous about that, because I didn't actually know her, but we had a grand time. She and her husband are really funny, cool people.

No, we name her Llana.

You two wanna name one of your kids after me?

:shock:

I am so touched.
