Really? Have we really reached a point in society where all-you-can-eat ribs for $9 sounds like a good idea?
Does that actually sound appetizing?
Maybe it was just the 2 years in the restaurant biz, but rock-bottom-beef-prices never sounds "yummy."

I saw it in the ads for Golden Corral today. A man goes into mid-priced restaurants that also sell awful processed-and-microwaved food but have the common courtesy to not sell it in buffet form and "embarrasses" himself by asking for a bunch of food for around $10 before being laughed out of the Red Lobsterish place, the Chilisish place, and the something elseish place. Then he finds comfort at Golden Corral, where they remind me that for around $10 right now, they have all I can eat ribs.
It just sounds so awful, I wondered who watched this commercial and went "fuck yes! Finally, a place where I can eat the lowest quality food possible, and lots of it!" The ribs don't even look good in the ad.

bakc away from the buffet. put down the fork and run. if you need intervention let us know

That's what you get for watching commercials.

I don't know, Alkie, you're starting to sound like an elitist.

They closed down the Golden Corral by my place. Then it got tagged by a gang. Those $9 ribs are Barrio property now, ese.

The Latin Kings need rib tacos tambien, homes.

Starting?
I AM an elitist prick, but that's not what I'm getting at here. I'm not asking how you slobs can get by without a nice seared foie gras each meal; I'm saying I remember what the Ramen and store brand cereal days were like, and $9 all I could eat "beef" and "pork" sounded fairly disgusting if not dangerous back then.
And even so, I assume Golden Corral is making money. How?

Because nobody ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Golden Corral is...PEOPLE!

Totally agree. A phrase I use all the time myself, but this is somewhere in the middle.
I TOTALLY get why broke people eat fast food. $.89 taco? $.50 bag of chips? $.75 for a soda. I get that. I completely get that. I remember those days quite well and I don't feel bad about it.
But this isn't that. This isn't "what is the LEAST I can spend to eat and fill myself until the next meal." This is "alright, we're going to spend about $15 per person after tax and drink and intentionally eat something that is so heinous, so awful, that this restaurant must GIVE it away.

Because MORE is BETTER. If I can pay thirty cents more to get a soda twice the size of my bladder, then by god, I'm getting a DEAL!

So you're saying that most people are total fucking morons.
I seeeeeee.

Golden things to cherish: rings, sunsets, Grahams.
Golden things to avoid: sombreros, Corrals, showers.
Am I missing anything?

I know this isn't news to you. Just hurts when you're reminded in a manner like this, doesn't it?

Judging by the first funny SNL in ages: cherish Golden Girls.

It is upsetting. You keep hoping to find out that people are getting "better" or that the collective intelligence is somehow progressing.
Then you see $10 all you can eat flimsy microwaved ribs and realize...no. We are fucked.

R. Kelly called and said you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yes, Alkie. Why didn't you think of that?

What exactly is the hole argument? Something to do with Alison Brie, I hope.

The Galifinakis one was pretty good. The old-lady-making-dick-jokes theme got a little tired by the end of this one.
-

I can honestly say "I hadn't thought of that."

It was tired before the episode started. That being said, Betty White making dick jokes will always be funny. SNL will never be funny.

I disagee. Lots is funny - they just can't find an end to their sketches. Python used to shoot people for exactly the same reason, or leap unceremoniously to a fish-slapping dance (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2002541459944162494#). SNL don't have that luxury because they have to go to commercial.

the new ... golden coral is opening by the ... walmart..
Of course it is.
-
Ryan's... ugh. And I hate to admit it, but the Golden Corral in Denton was actually pretty good on the one occasion I went there. Which wasn't my choice, it was my father-in-law's- he just thought the fried shrimp sounded really good.
-
The Golden Corral in Henderson, Texas is infinitely better than the Austin one I've been to.
They're both pretty nasty, though.
