I had a teacher in HS that really wanted to suspend me for never standing for the pledge. Got called in to the VPs office a couple times, told them that they can't force me to do it and I would adore being able to raise a stink about it to local media. Pretty sure I stopped standing in the second grade and the pervasive argument was "Just do it, it'll be easier." Like, FOR WHO?!

Gutter Phoenix posted:There was a great place on the main drag in my beloved hometown of Alameda, California called Subpar Miniature Golf, but like so many gems in the Bay Area, the stupid landlords forced them out, and now we have nothing like it. I love the disco ball. I imagine all the bowling alleys started up Galactic Bowling, and this place decided they were getting in on that.

So they still exist, sometimes with this exact decor.

Always hit it on our way back from Orange Beach so I can be extra stuffed for the 20 hour drive back to NYS. Despite the kitsch, the food is good. I wouldnt eat cut & fried Okra anywhere else

I cannot get enough of this photography archive. It's everything I ever wanted. Come eat at the terrifying owl cafe!  Howabout eating at a giant hotdog in the middle of nowhere in Colorado  I legitimately appreciate committing to the dumb joke. If it was just a lovely sign it would suck, but they actually have a leaning tower!  the americanized version of the goose that laid golden eggs is a chicken that lays dr pepper eggs  yeah  Ok onto some theaters! imagine the vibes of this Fargo drive-in  this perfectly captures a feeling ive had traveling throughout the flyover states over the years  this one is included because it still stands and I've seen movies there. There's a phenomenal burger/poutine place next door, too, and you can bring in food (and alcohol iirc?) from it into the theater.  And finally, check out this cool beach house

Code Jockey posted:what for? This seems like a 9/11 thing, is it a 9/11 thing Already been answered but they specifically introduce it over the intercoms as "a moment to meditate pray or engage in other silent activities" Teachers in my highschool would give you detention for insufficient respect during the pledge (ie not mouthing it)

Is this mashed potatoes and gravy on top of chicken fried steak with a baked potato side, and with a potato salad side side?

Possibly it’s chicken-fried potato under there, and the garnish is potato leaves and a slice of sweet potato

Is there even a sliver of a chance 'Mark's Choice' includes anything aside from of white fried chicken, dark fried chicken, ham, green beans, applesauce, coleslaw, and biscuits?

Surprising no one, mark's choice is often chicken-fried burger ham. With a side of chaw for the kiddos.

I love drive ins they are great.They would be perfect in this corona age if more had survived. the one near me still plays all the america cartoons before the movie starts. https://youtu.be/26pQNKEOXjo I live in Portland and we have a few independent theaters that are amazing. It is great being able to go to some of these cinemas and seeing old movies and new ones. Plus being able to drink beer and have food in most of them.

Tiger Crazy posted:I love drive ins they are great.They would be perfect in this corona age if more had survived. the one near me still plays all the america cartoons before the movie starts. There was a fairly notable drive-in in my hometown, though it unfortunately closed a few years back. I'm a little surprised drive-ins dropped so much in popularity. I mean, I suppose the video/audio quality can't compete with a proper theater, but honestly I think there are some upsides, too. I wonder how much can be attributed to a fairly low head count and not really being able to make as much money off concessions. That's probably a killer, based on my knowledge of the economics of movie theaters. I also into independent theaters. The Maryland Film Festival now resides at the recently-restored Parkway Theatre here in Baltimore, and it's a great place that I love a lot. The inside has a cool vibe and they play a really nice combination of new arthouse movies along with some classics and rarer films. Unfortunately I have plans to move away in a few months, so I doubt I'll ever get to go again!
