Bomb threats still leave a good many in laughter

I still (formerly secretly) like when people do this. The poor young man will now spend the holidays in a cage more lonely than the Applebee's kitchen. But really, bomb threats in Applebee's really a threat? Yes. Do you want all of the baby-back ribs, and... other good food that Applebee's has blown to bits by a disgruntled cook's poorly constructed nail bomb? Once when I went to AB-s I received a small cup, or pile, of frozen baked beans. Upon eating said beans, I gagged quietly and let the beans fall from my lower lip. I notified the waitress, and was thus notified that that's how those beans are served, and fancy restaurants in places such as Fargo and Minot are doing it that way. I was left only to think about how I lacked culture and taste.

I get the sense from ready your post -- yes, it's a good couple weeks' later -- that some guy really fucked up his chances with that one waitress from Applebees (phony orginators of the phony street sign decoration).

But I'll never know for sure, probably, because the Fargo Forum once again tries to charge me $1.95 to read this classic piece of journalism. If you can somehow access this article and paste it here, or reconstruct it from memory like Batman might do, that would be ideal. If not, I might just go ahead and reconstruct it myself here, in real life. Except at Ember's up on 394 and Hopkins Crossroad.

Quite simply - a guy called in a bomb threat TO work while AT work... at Applebee's of course. Please feel free to insert your own restaurant of choice; it could have happened anywhere, even at that one Ember's if it's still there.

oh, i see (said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw). thanks for reconstructing it from memory like batman would have done. i guess that guy really wanted to get out of work that one night. probably it was the night that the PS3 was coming out. shit, i can't blame him. when dragon quest VIII came out, i stayed home from work for 12 days in row and called in to work that i couldn't come in because i heard there was going to be a global thermonuclear war. they totally bought it, and next thing you know i'm strutting about in some liquid metal armor and a metal king helmet, wielding the miracle sword as i finish off the last of the dragovian trials. yes, of course i had the bunny suit for jessica!

that ember's is already gone, it turns out. like all similar places, it still has a few stray lights that are on for some reason.
