At least the shot is in the arm as opposed to... somewhere else.

No, Nathan’s is not on my resume. I know th Coney Island location gets slammed with customers in the summertime. That’s the reality of being a cook in a restaurant kitchen. It’s hot and dirty, you’re always on your feet. Like so many other kids, fast food was a start. As I got older, I got more...

Having had experience at BK, not much has changed much in fast food in 37 years. They pay you just enough so you don’t quit. You work just enough so you don’t get fired. And if you quit, the owners know they’ll have someone to replace you tomorrow. Unless you’re going to be an owner, which...

Better clean up the kitchen before Mom gets home.

Like I mentioned, the Cajun spices at Popeye’s don’t agree with me. But I do like the hush puppies.

That’s cannibalism!

Our town had to shut off the water on our street for most of the day to fix a broken pipe. So for the first time in 20 years, I went to the laundromat. $4.75 (In quarters) to do a load of laundry?! Dang, the last time I did this Clinton was still in office. I must say , washing machines are a...

If ignorance is bliss, this is the happiest person on earth. If I may give a little history on European settlers. The first English settler was Henry Hudson in 1607. But the Spanish have been settling for almost a century before. Long before the Pilgrims and Jamestown, Virginia, there were...

In the past few years, the word “wonky “ has come into parlance. Meaning something odd or strange. I’m not too crazy about the word or it’s usage. It doesn’t seem to sit right. Your tires are out of alignment, so your car runs wonky! Nah.

I had Pfizer, and I made it through okay. A little tired the next day, but that was it. Everybody will react differently, but you have health and age on your side. I imagine you’ll be fine.

I don’t know if it’s just a regional chain, but around here there’s a chain called Rita’s. They specialize in Italian ice and frozen custard. On the first day of spring 3/21, everybody gets a free ice. Not some skimpy little Dixie cup, Ithis is a regular size.And at any given time they have ten...

At work, I had to cook for two hundred seniors. There were one or two that had to have everything puréed.. You haven’t lived until you had puréed spaghetti and meatballs.

Astrology and horoscopes are fun. But I don’t put too much stock in it. On the Boardwalk there are a number of fortune tellers, who also dabble in palm reading or Tarot cards. (No one seems to have a crystal ball anymore). I put less stock in psychics. For the Miss Cleo’s and people like that...

Yes, Sabbath can be pronounced Shabbat. Different religions have their version of Sabbath. Christians have Sunday. Jews have Saturday, Muslims have Friday.

I was always into ketchup, but ranch is good too. My favorite kind of fries are steak fries. They’re the fat ones you find at Red Robin. Way back when, they had them at Howard Johnson’s. I used to order a burger just to get the fries. Plus your kiddie menu is also a hat. Yes, Alex. I could...

No, people used to go see dressed up as the characters, lots of glam makeup and such. There was a scene about halfway through where the toast starts flying. Back in the late 70s/early 80s, one of the big things for teens to do was go to the midnight movie. There were a handful of films that got...

For my generation (and earlier), our toast- throwing ritual was the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Never mind you’re throwing toast at a movie screen.

It’s funny how nostalgia for you and nostalgia for me I’d 25 years apart. In roughly a ten year period, from 1999 to 2009, all my nostalgia came roaring back with Noggin, DVDs, the birth of YouTube. The tidal wave has slowed to a trickle, but every so often something is posted that blows me...

Some new things the SJW crowd thinks are racist. Milk. Milk is white Racist Never mind chocolate milk. Soap. How they determined this is racist defies me. Black people can’t use soap? Meat. Back in pre-Civil War days, it was claimed only white people could eat meat and Black people had to eat...

I saw this back in ‘92 when it first came out. Michael Douglas was always a good actor. But throughout the whole movie I wondered when was he going to snap? Whammy Burger has the same color scheme as McD’s. I’d be a little ticked off too. Breakfast might have ended 3 minutes ago, but there’s...
