There's a Howard Johnson's. Wanna eat some clams?
Many people have said that, and some of them -- like me -- had to think of "Billy the Mountain" when they did.

How sad and how far the mighty Ho-Jo has fallen. Though Howard Johnson was not as big a name in Texas as it was elsewhere, I did learn to appreciate them on my travels around the country in my younger daze.
