“They were confused and thought they were in a Chucky Cheese.”

No way. The nearest Chuck E Cheese is two miles from East Mercury Blvd. East Mercury is about 5 miles long and has scores of fast food type joints. Including four fried chicken and one fried fish joint.

[USMCPOP]

Oops - West Mercury Blvd.

There’s nothing worth fighting over at Denny’s... unless you’re beating up the person that’s why you’re stuck eating at Denny’s.

Taking the shirt off is usually a white guy thing.

In a fight, if your opponent gets hold of your shirt he can control you. If he can pull it over your head you are going to take a beating.

True, but the Little Black Sambo depicted in
the restaurant murals was of a black kid
more typical of an African appearance than
Indian. Later, they gave the kid a lighter
skin tone and painted a turbine on his head.
As a kid, myself, the original wall painting
sure looked like a black African.

[Sivad]

A turbin, not a turbine. Spell check can
be a b*tch.

[DPMD]

Please. Be enlightened. It’s Cheegroes.

“Denny’s was Sambos. They changed the name.”

Only a few locations were sold to Denny’s, most others eventually just closed.

[AppyPappy]

The original book was an Indian kid because Britain controlled India.

[Sivad]

Yes, I know that.

[Molon Labbie]

Or movie theaters...or grocery stores...or the Octoberfest...

Denny’s was where I went as a young man after the bars had closed. Nothing like a plate of greasy bacon, eggs and toast to ward off a hangover. With lots of orange juice.

[right way right]

Thanks, that's interesting.
I was a little kid maybe 8 or 9 and I do remember the murals, since I was born in 63 my recollection was that little black Sambo was an Indian. (From India).
I remember my mom telling me the story of the butter, I thought about it for a minute then,looking at my dad I said, “that is so dumb!”
My dad said,”you are very right!”. I was little puzzled that he agreed with me for once.
My Dad was a very, very serious man, I half expected a slap up side the head for ridiculing my moms story.
Funny that I remember that specifically.
Maybe that's why my handle is what it is.
(actually ‘right wing nut’ was probably taken)

I remember Sambos, too. Had the best pancakes. Interestingly, an old girlfriend’s family were the owners. They had started a number of restaurants beyond Sambos. They had been into steak houses and Pizza. (Straw Hat or Shakey’s, can’t remember which.)
