probably nobody will care, but I’m sad at the passing of my microwave. It was born in July of 1983, and died march 24th, 2026. I had bought it used in 1992 and it faithfully served me and my family for many years until today, when the keypad decided to partially quit working. Rest in peace Zappy, you will be missed.
I’m looking for a new keypad but unsurprisingly the parts for this ancient thing are no longer in stock so I doubt I’ll be able to resurrect it without some sort of miracle. I know it’s just an appliance but it still makes me sad to see it go.
Hey…sorry about your back pain. I mean, I know you didn’t specifically SAY you have back pain, but…c’mon. Let’s be real. You’re 4 months older than me…which means YOU’RE SO OLD!!! 4 MONTHS OLDER THAN ME??? Ugh, watch out everyone! AARP card carrying member coming through! On his way to Dennys for 4pm Dinner!
Eh, once my wife had a Sunday 4pm fondue craving (the Swiss melted cheese yeah) so we went to the local “auberge valaisanne”
It was packed with old farts from retirement homes going on an organized Sunday trip to the restaurant.
Also none of them ate cheese (fondue or raclette), they all went for a non Swiss meal, at a Swiss auberge…
I tried Dennys once when I was visiting the US, I don’t remember it so it probably wasn’t anything special.
“Dennys: We’re not that special.”
New marketing tagline. It’s a commercial based on random drunk people stumbling in at 3am, passing out in the booths, throwing up on the floor. Then an unamused waitress brings them pancakes, and says “Eat up” without a shred of hospitality. Almost as if it’s sarcasm. Then you see this group of early 20 year olds walk in, navigate through that scene, tip toe to a free booth, and still order. They knew what this was. Then it shows the food, and it’s as if the director just said “show some food on spinning plates” with no further direction. Also, this isn’t hollywood makeup fake food. All food you see in commercials is inedible. It’s mostly wax and other artificial things just made to look good for TV purposes, as that’s it’s only job. But instead, for the Dennys ad, they just actually make the food, which looks sloppy as hell. Plus it’s just thrown together by a “cook” in the back, whom I assure you does not give a FUCK about presentation or sanitation. It’s food, angrily thrown on a plate, as some teenager is pissed off by your existence. And that’s what this group of 4 early teens knew they were coming for…because it’s like $5.
