Further evidence that most people from New Jersey are completely unreasonable.

Seriously...

From the outside looking in yea, it seems strange and weird but imagine craving some thing for over 5 yrs and not being able to ever have it...

People are just killing their curiosity...

You can't go wrong with Wendy's, usually they're fresh and good. However, I love Jack in the Box sourdough jack. One of my favorite burgers there. Sonic burgers away fall apart because all of the condiments they put on the bottom bun.

Now if they opened an In N Out in Denver, I'd be there in a heart beat. Don't really care for the orange sauce they put in the burger though.

NJ Officer Recovering After Accident At Sonic's

http://wcbstv.com/topstories/o....html

Quote »Borough police officer Corey Lange was directing traffic at the Sonic drive-in on Route 17 when, prosecutors said, he was dragged by an unlicensed driver of an Acura identified as Daniel Yi.

"The vehicle came across Route 17 northbound lanes, hit the middle divider. Another vehicle hit Mr. Yi's car pinning the officer in between the two cars," said John Molinelli, Bergen County prosecutor.[/quote]Things are getting crazy over there at Sonics

Sure it is. You still need lights and a bumper to be legal but you can have those without a bed.

You can even buy "Chassis cab" versions of most trucks that come without a bed, ready to be fitted with whatever aftermarket bed replacement you might need.

A similar thing happened when the In-N-Out opened in St. George.

Here is a Google Map of it:



The drive through line when around the back of the huge building there which has a Best Buy, Kohls, and Bed Bath And Beyond in it. The line had over 200 cars in it and the wait was about 2.5 hours.

I try not to be a "grammar nazi" but I would of never thought I would see the day some one replaces "hours" with "ours". There and their, fine not difficult to mess up, but OURs?

Update Sonics on Rt 17 and Rt 46 both still have a police directing traffic

Thought I would post this...

A buddy of mine went to LA and tried some In N' Out burgers and he wasn't impressed. He felt that they weren't very good. Average. He liked the fries.

Also I tried Sonics and the food sucks, the drinks are good. That is all.

My sleep schedule is messed up again. Stayed up all night a few times doing some homework, then found myself going to bed at 1pm each day and waking up at midnight. But today mom called at 3pm and I've been up since then.

I think.

What day is it?

I don't live that far from you Rich and I'm sure you've seen the Jack in the Box commercials. It was the same way with Quiznos, then they brought them up here only to close 3/4 of them down.

Speaking of fast food chain commercials, those of you in the SW have probably seen these:

Is Taco John's any good, cause those are some pretty big Burritos?

Oh and the monkey's name is Whiplash, apparently he's pretty famous on the Rodeo circuit.

I never understood people waiting in massive lines for fast food... Go to the grocery store, buy some ingredients and make your own food.

Yea Quiznos are still around up hear but CiCis commercials still frustrate me. Also what is the deal with Golden Corral? The food looks good but none around me

Unfortunately I don't get any Mexican monkey riding dog commercials...
