dude, even a crave case can be had in like 3 minutes, how much time do you need to save?
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

The only way to eat white castle is if you are so drunk you are going to tossem anyway. 
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Cardboard!, not far from the truth as far as taste goes. I have always tasted a hint of liver in the meat. White Castles all went belly up in Kansas City, seems we know what beef is supposed to taste like, it's a cultural thing.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Summer, 1962. Pop and I were driving(well, he was driving, I was only 10 at the time) along Route 66 from L.A. to eventually get to Indianapolis and see all his relatives "back east" that he and Mom had left right after WWII in order to seek their fortune in that "Promised Land" known as California.
As we hit St. Louis, and just before veering off 66 to take the road from there to Indy, Pop spied a White Castle Hamburger stand sitting along side the road, and asked me if I was hungry. I said I was.
And so, Pop pulled that '59 Chevy Station Wagon of his into the parking lot of that White Castle's. He then said he'd be right back with about 6 burgers and a couple of Cokes, to which I replied, "SIX burgers?! That's a lot o' food, Pop!"
"Nope, they're not like the burgers you're used to out west. These are smaller. When I was a kid, I'd get about 3 or 4 of 'em at a time. They're pretty good."
After he returned to the car with a bag of 'em and we started consuming those babies with our Cokes, all the while talking about some of the things we had seen and done along "The Mother Road" on this car trip...well...I have to say every time somebody brings up the name "White Castle Hamburgers", it sure brings back some pretty good memories.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

COKE not RC while in St. Louis.

Was that a question, Chad?
Well, yeah, maybe they were RC Colas(which actually, yeah, I do like better than Coca-Cola), but "Out West" in California, at least back then, most folks would use the term "coke" to describe all soft drinks...at least as I recall, anyway.
I know "Back East" in some areas they'd use the word "pop" and/or "soda" in the same way.

Being a midwest native, "pop" is a permanent part of my vocabulary. It's funny when I go into a restaurant of almost any kind down here and ask one of the illegals for a pop and they look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language....

Well Stew, I suppose in THEIR mind, you ARE "speaking a foreign language"! (...and I'm NOT just talkin' about how you're orderin' your beverage of choice EITHER!!!)

Here in Houston you have to ask for the correct name brand or confusion will spread like a wild fire. You can't just ask for a cola as in what ever cola they serve there be it Coka, Pepsi, or RC hell, the whole order could be in peril.

I shouldn't have to ask by brand even when I'm filling the cup myself!

Ya know guys, I'm thinkin' here that with all the usage of the word "Pop" now in this thread, I'm wonderin' how long it'll be before Wade pipes in and will steer this sucker towards the topic of bubble wrap?!!!

 Yeah, Stew! (...it'd be kinda like a Happy Meal for middle-aged guys who are WAY too much into bubble wrap, huh?!)

Yeah John, indeed it does...and ALSO it seems in many of our American neighborhoods, too!
(...though I suppose it's possible many of our BA.com friends are presently out there laboring at some other endeavor, or are possibly out sampling some local color on their Triumph motorcycles!)
