#1 zombie_babies Apr 12, 2011 14:32:48	Link I'd probably be upset if it happened to me, but it's still pretty damned funny.
#2 Jharii Apr 12, 2011 14:37:33	The D representin'!!
#3 pluisjen Apr 12, 2011 14:53:20	Sounds like one kid had the night of his life.
#4 Jharii Apr 12, 2011 15:05:39	He was arrested two days later, soliciting a prostitute from the eTrade baby.
#5 bone_naga Apr 12, 2011 15:19:30	I wouldn't be happy about it, but it happens in people's homes too (not necessarily serving it to the kid, but you leave a drink within arm's reach of a kid and you get the same result). I'm not a big fan of Applebees anyway. Their food is ok but there are better places within the same price range. I once found a small shard of broken glass in my drink (I almost swallowed it, luckily I chew my ice and I noticed that one piece was not chewing). I didn't throw a hissy fit or anything but I was upset so I calmly informed the waiter what happened and he was supposed to go to the manager. I never even got so much as a simple apology from either of them. I complained on the Applebees website, and someone from their customer service apologized and offered to send a gift certificate for the price of the meal. It never came. Naturally I don't eat there anymore.
#6 zombie_babies Apr 12, 2011 15:22:54	Yeah, the only time I eat there is when everyone I'm with refuses to go elsewhere.  Never had any CS nightmares but the food is just 'meh' and, IMO, really not worth the price.  I'd rather spend more and get a steak at a Roadhouse or somethin'. Still, drunk kids are hilarious.
#7 zombie_babies Apr 12, 2011 15:24:11	Proof that fast food chaines are bad for our kids! Applebee's ain't fast food, man.  It's a chain, sure, but it's a sit down place.  They even have a healthy menu thing.  But the food is meh at best.
#8 zombie_babies Apr 12, 2011 16:14:59	Ahh, I see.  So you use a mangled definition.  That's cool.  Seriously, part of 'fast food' is fast.  Applebee's, Chili's and the like are anything but fast.
#9 Jharii Apr 12, 2011 16:20:08	Ahh, I see.  So you use a mangled definition on a regular basis.  That's cool.  Seriously, part of 'fast food' is fast.  Applebee's, Chili's and the like are anything but fast. Fixed that for you.
#10 Cpt_Micha Apr 12, 2011 16:27:00	Heh, this sort of thing happens in retail too. (someone -one- person screwing it up for everyone) Our applebees has pretty good food (I like it alot more than Ruby Tuesday that's for damn sure. And it's a hell of alot cheaper). I think it's more likely that a drink was ordered from another table and that one found it's way on the wrong tray.
#11 toastedamphibian Apr 12, 2011 17:26:33	We already have a word for bad food, "bad food".
#12 toastedamphibian Apr 12, 2011 18:10:43	I thought you belived in words with useful meanings. [I'm sorry, I'm a terrible liar. I can't even type that sentence with a straight face.] Hey, I know! Lets call all four legged mamals "dogs"! That will make it even easier for goldy!
#13 Jharii Apr 12, 2011 21:24:29	A narcissist too, I would guess.
#14 Jharii Apr 12, 2011 21:30:57	Because that would add actual credibility.
#15 pluisjen Apr 13, 2011 1:38:16	We already have a word for bad food, "bad food". Unfortunately most people's vocabulary is too limited to use both words at the same time which is why they tend to call most of it "fast food" instead.
#16 toastedamphibian Apr 13, 2011 2:21:06	... Huh?
#17 pluisjen Apr 13, 2011 2:26:03	Stunning example, really. I meant to say most people don't consider the two any different. Just because you know the difference between "bad food" and "fast food" doesn't mean that other people make the distinction. Down here fast food probably also means something different. Most people wouldn't consider chinese takeaway to be fast food, despite it being pretty fast. Definitions vary.
#18 toastedamphibian Apr 13, 2011 2:47:49	Tehee, "Down Here".
#19 pluisjen Apr 13, 2011 4:02:51	Am I missing something here?
#20 toastedamphibian Apr 13, 2011 5:52:59	I do not know your precise geographic location but, from what you have said previously, I seriously doubt "down here" is an accurate description of it when adressing me. That's all. Australians, most Africans, South and Central Americans can all say "down here" but middle/northern europeans? Really kind of Over and/or Up here.
#21 pluisjen Apr 13, 2011 6:08:34	Ah. I thought it was a general expression, I don't hear people using "up here" or "over here" a lot. I'm not sure about your exact location either but it's probably about the same latitude... Maybe it should be "right here" or "left here"... depending on which way you circle the earth.
#22 toastedamphibian Apr 13, 2011 6:12:19	The direction coincides with the direction one is from the other on a map hanging from the wall. Florida is pretty far south, and all your talk of snow and freezing weather leads me to suspect that you are a good bit north. Also, your europy jargon makes me think you are more "over there" than you even are "up there". Perhapes you do not hear "Up Here" as much because perhapes it is a more southern expression and is not in vogue in the northern states or other parts of the world? I wouldn't know.
#23 toastedamphibian Apr 13, 2011 6:15:05	Changes in lattitudes Changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of our running and all of our cunning Well if we couldn't laugh We would all go insane

Perhapes you do not hear "Up Here" as much because perhapes it is a more southern expression and is not in vogue in the northern states or other parts of the world? I wouldn't know. Yeah according to the map I'm quite a bit higher up then you are apparently. Of course since in normal life I don't speak English I hear most of these expressions from other people all around the world so I have no idea where it really comes from. Dutch people generally don't use either "down here" or "up here", they use the Dutch terms  I just read about "down here" a lot more then I do "up here".
#26 Jharii Apr 13, 2011 6:42:02	I just read about "down here" a lot more then I do "up here". Well that's an easy one.  That's because more people live south of other people than live north of other people.

#28 toastedamphibian Apr 13, 2011 16:53:55	It's a semi-true story Believe it or not I made up a few things And theres some I forgot! But the life and the telling Are both real to me And it all runs together And turns out to be- A semi-true story What's not to love?
#29 homicidal_squirrel Apr 13, 2011 20:48:12	I was wondering when the parent would sue... www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42579267/ns/busines...
#30 Cpt_Micha Apr 13, 2011 21:58:35	Yeah, I'm wondering how in the hell a parent is going to mistake apple juice for a margarita in the first place. It's bloody obvious that, it's not what you ordered.

It's bloody obvious that, it's not what you ordered. Story I saw said it came in a child's cup, probably one of thoes opaque white ones with the pictures on the sides. It's not like they brouth it in a salt crusted long fluted glass.
#33 Cpt_Micha Apr 14, 2011 8:54:23	still, a lawsuit over this? This? Ugh. I hate people.
#34 boraxe Apr 14, 2011 9:03:27	Originally, Currently. but now when people are talking of fast food people talk about bad food. Those people are wrong. At least here. Then why not buck the apparently localized trend of being wrong and refuse to use the term incoreectly. Lead "right" by example.
#35 zombie_babies Apr 14, 2011 9:07:57	Well, at least it seems like the parents are lying.  A .1 is very different from a .014, ya know?  And if Applebee's ain't lyin' they'll have EMT testimony and a police report to back 'em.  Hell, if the kid was really at .1 and actin' the fool, the cops should have arrested him for disorderly conduct and underage consumption.  That would have been funny.
#36 zombie_babies Apr 14, 2011 13:36:13	Apparently alcoholism in toddlers is fast becoming an epidemic.
#37 homicidal_squirrel Apr 14, 2011 15:18:30	Apparently alcoholism in toddlers is fast becoming an epidemic. Pffft... Shows what you know. That is Florifa story. Sangria is given to kids in elementary schools. You outsiders and your alcohol safety stuff. Floridians turn out just fine. We are like spurman but our cryptonite is a voting ballot. Still... has nothing to do with sangria and kids. That is nutritious.
#38 zombie_babies Apr 14, 2011 15:19:38	Sangria and kids is nutritious?  Interesting.  You don't cook the kids in trans fat laden oil, do you?
#39 homicidal_squirrel Apr 14, 2011 15:26:52	Sangria and kids is nutritious?  Interesting.  You don't cook the kids in trans fat laden oil, do you? I like to use it as a marinade. It also counts as a serving of fruits when used this way.
