Just don't take food and not eat it. There's precedent.

All Yolk Caveat:
Do the opposite of whatever the "just-eat-the-whites" lobby says.

Okay... I had to stare at that for 5 minutes before I got it. Problem was, my brain was registering it as "ALL YOU CA NEAT" (All you Californians are neat?)

My college dorm cafeteria needed a sign like that; the powdered eggs were rather inedible most of the time.

They *did* have a funny sign on Sundays, when they served a decent little filet mignon for the Big Afternoon Meal: "NO STEAK ON SECONDS."

The politically correct term is: All you "care to" eat.

Nobody says "can" ....if that were the case, people'd eat them under the table.

By using "care to"....they encourage patrons to use discretion.

Peace, Maxine

Uh, you could make a profit selling buffet food for $5. Start with long cooking white rice (five pound bag, if you find it on sale you can get it for very cheap prices, even as low as 35 cents a pound.) Then buy sprouts and things, and some chicken and pork in bulk and cook chinese. You could also seperate out some of your rice and fry it with minimal amounts of sprouts and vegetables, and perhaps some chicken. If you are doing the cooking yourself (keep in mind that it is legal to pay waiters as low as $2.13 an hour) you could probably make it work.

But you are right, I'm not sure I'd want to gamble that is what they are doing. At the very least, you might want to call the food inspector and see if they've had any recent violations.

Yummy Buffet is a (somewhat disgusting) Madison staple that will likely outlast most of the buildings on campus. While the $5 buffet ($6 with drink) is a steal, I've found the to-go option provides the most bang for the buck (bang=MSG) at $3.50/lb.

Dave: It amuses me to think that someone finds this the most challenging post of the day.

Funniest word association of the day, tho, Dave--

Surrealist comic Steven Tyler (sp?) has a story where he goes into a cafe with a sign saying "Breakfast Anytime" and asks for an "omlette during the French Revolution".

LOL Did I get your word association joke, Buddy, or do I just have a dirty mind?

that was dave's, drat, but I can probly safely guess yes on the second part--
\;-D

I hope no hens are reading this--all that effort and it's still not Art.

Groan--no, horrible jokes aside, it's in the run-together lettering of the sign, it looks like it says "all yolk caveat". Sorta. Enuff for the easily-entertained and laff-hungry, anyhoo.

I believe Buddy is referring to Steven Wright And french toast during the renaissance respectively. I wonder if he tried variations on the menu item and time period prior to settling on the classic french toast/renaissance version.
I understand in Paris they just call it toast.

Jennifer કહ્યું...

Actually, they call it pain perdu. Lost bread.

Jeez, I worked the Aerosmith in by accident. Renaissance and French toast do for a fact work better. Art, you're kidding right? Reversing the joke?

Jennifer કહ્યું...

Yes, Buddy, I'm not really seeing where Ann made fun of anybody either.

I don't have a pipeline to Ann's brain either, but she has an artist's eye and tends to comment on a lot of things that she sees just slightly differently than intended. I assume this post fell along those lines.

Art, dine there, and Ann has helped the guy who wrote the sign.

Anyway, goofing on the sign is slapstick, the Marx Brothers would laff at it, but not Margaret Dumont.

6/7/06 04:57 PM
buddy larsen કહ્યું...

That's not to call you a Margaret Dumont, Art--only to refer to the "elitist" word, in that Margaret Dumont's career was to embody it.

Anyway, it's all in how you look at it. Like the snail that got mugged by the turtle. He told the cops, "Well, it all happened so fast...."

fWow. A lotta comments.

It's just a hand-lettered sign that amused me. Like the potato one.
