High Noon at the Waffle House

[Gingersnap]

Try it again after last call at the local bars; fun city ;)

Amazingly, I no longer stay for last call. A friend of mine owns a bar and I can't really endure the after-party thingies she has. Never go to a bar after hours on an empty stomach or with your car keys - trust me on this one.

We don't have Waffle House in Michigan. The stores seem to start popping up around Columbus, OH and Indianapolis.

I've stopped at them while travelling. The waffles are good. I must have stopped at clean franchises, because I didn't notice any sticky silverware or counters. I worked at an IHOP as a teen that was one of the filthiest places I've ever seen.

Actually there IS one. On I-94 somewhere West of Kalamazoo. I used to pass it on the way to and from Chicago.

I have been in some VERY good Waffle Houses and some that would make your stomach queezy just walking in the door.


Same for IHOPS - and virtually all of the chains.

I love Waffle House...and Huddle House. I love the eggs. I love the waitresses. I love the Julebox. Mostly I love the customers. I went into one in North Carolina once at about 2:00 a.m. and the place was really busy. I think I was the only one in there not smoking.

State anti-smoking laws have probably changed the smoking habits of patrons in most places. That cloud of nicotine was a part of the ambiance for me.

Don't ya' just love waitresses like this...

Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula,
Yesterday's deliveries, tickets for the bachelors
She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes,
Well, it's just an invitation to the blues

And you feel just like Cagney, she looks like Rita Hayworth
At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore
You wonder if she might be single, she's a loner and likes to mingle
Got to be patient, try and pick up a clue

She said "How you gonna like 'em, over medium or scrambled?",
You say "Anyway's the only way", be careful not to gamble
On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here
It's a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes
This ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues

I love the way he writes lyrics. Integrity is a word that comes to mind when I think of his songs.

Great line.
