:hi:

[Radio_Lady]

56. Hello, rug... thanks for the photos of my home state -- Pennsylvania!

[XemaSab]

3. Snack time!

:popcorn:

[Radio_Lady]

52. Hi XemaSab! Hey, if they add POPCORN to the menu at the OG, it would SENSATIONAL!

We have an Ace Hardware store here that gives you a small but delicious bag of popcorn when you're shopping for PAINT and TOOLS.

[Thurston Howell III]

69. Move over.

Thanks. :popcorn:

[Kittycat]

4. What is it about the Olive Garden?

I had DUers refer me to an Olive Garden in Times Square when I inquired on where to eat :rofl:

I could really go for their salad and breadsticks right now though.

[Cooley Hurd]

9. They give you hallucinogens for an appetizer...

...and the rest of the meal is like "whoa - serious munchies!"

[Warren Stupidity]

18. Yikes - great authentic Italian restaurants all around you.

[rug]

20. I stayed in Dickson City outside Scranton last night. It was that or Fresno's.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

22. Mama Leone's

I know, they closed a long time ago. But have had some other great Italian food in NYC.

[Radio_Lady]

54. Proud and true, I organized the original OG protest at Times Square...

Next time we go to Times Square with tickets for a 2 PM curtain for a matinee, I'll probably eat there again!

Cordially.

8. Great pics. I also learned that alcohol does not improve the temperament of Obama supporters.

[rodeodance]

12. why?--did they show up?

[rug]

17. Their HQ is one block down Wyoming Avenue from Hillary's.

Hillary had by far the most supporters.

Some Obama supporters tried to block the larger Hillary signs in front of Steamtown Mall. At least nine were arrested for drinking before the parade started. As the day wore on there were fewer of them but many were getting loud and obnoxious. A couple stuck Obama stickers on Hillary signs as they passed. There were a few ugly moments but nothing like 10 minutes in GDP.

[avrdream]

29. Yeah, ten minutes here can put hair on your chest!

Regarding the OP: Olive Garden - always did love their breadsticks, salad, and that cheese grater thing. The wine sucked, though.

[sueragingroz]

71. I was never a fan of the pasta... never quite got the appeal... most of them closed down in Canada

[rodeodance]

34. i am glad they got carted off--and that you are safe. glad you had a grand day"

[Kittycat]

39. I hear Obama is going to be there ON St. Patty's Day.

I also read that he was above the fold in the paper today. :)

[rug]

43. He's supposed to be at the Radisson in Scranton Monday.

I expect there will be many headlines involving him.

[krispos42]

68. OH, that nice Irish gentleman, Brock O'Bama?

:rofl:

[JohnnyLib2]

51. LOL, "nothing like 10 minutes...."

DUzy

Clinton supporter of Irish background here --- all is forgiven for this occasion!

[JoFerret]

19. Ah! generally true of most partisans

Glad you had a great day.

[juajen]

7. That's marvelous ducky! I am so, so jealous.

How'd she look? Tell me all.

[rug]

14. She looked great. Strong and confident. Walked the whole way shaking lots of hands.

She was almost mobbed at the reviewing stand in front of the Lackawanna County Courthouse.

I almost missed seeing her because my 6 year old daughter had to go to the bathroom (after 3 hours) about 10 minutes before she got to our spot.

[rodeodance]

16. glad for you and your daughter.

[Warren Stupidity]

10. Is that possible?

I am having a hard time reconciling "great meal" and "Olive Garden".

[Madam Mossfern]

15. My thoughts exactly

I'm glad I read the entire thread before I posted.
Disclaimer: The above is NOT a political statement.

[JoFerret]

24. Nothing wrong with the OG

Beats having to cook dinner after a parade any day.

Except when you are in NYC and -as the earlier poster said - surrounded by great Italian restaurants.

[rug]

28. Except I was in Scranton, PA. Nevertheless a good meal.

[JoFerret]

31. Cheers!

.

[rodeodance]

11. were you at the parade?

[slinkerwink]

13. hahaha!

[Hepburn]

21. Olive Garden is good....

...howver, eating and seeing Hillary in one day? :puke:

[rug]

23. If it makes you feel better I has a latte while I was waiting for the parade to start.

:hi:

[JoFerret]

25. Take that foodie!

(I like lattes too. But not at $3 plus.)

[Fox Mulder]

26. Did you eat fried chicken while breast feeding and talking about...

a fat actress?

[XemaSab]

72. Nah, she was just admiring the woodcarvings

:hide:

[kwenu]

27. Did she have her tax returns with her!!!!

[rug]

30. Even better, she was carrying Vince Foster's head on a pike.

And still managed to shake hands.

[goldcanyonaz]

35. Bwahahahaha! She's one talented lady.

[rodeodance]

36. chuckle!!

[JoFerret]

37. How many kittens did she strangle?

.

[Arugula Latte]

45. I heard she kicked a newborn puppy down the street like a soccer ball for the entire route.

[JohnnyLib2]

53. Man, you are on tonight!

:rofl:

[IdClaire]

32. sounds like an awesome day to me!

And I mean that!

[goldcanyonaz]

33. I f'ing LOVE the Olive Garden. What did you have?

Love Hillary too. But, what did you have?

[rug]

40. I'd tell you what we all had but this forum is not the place for controversy.

(chicken & gnocchi)

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

48. Gnocchi with out meatballs?

That's just Wrong and makes No sense. Hence your Hillary support.
nuff said.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

38. I'm jealous, I've never eaten at an Olive Garden.

You can keep Senator Clinton thou, I sure don't want her. :P
Glad you had a Grand Day reguardless!
i think the nearest OG is a 8 hour round trip for me. Gotta go check...

edit to add Duluth has one, that would be a 5 hour round trip for me. Next time I go Duluth for Sams Club stuff, I have got to find this Olive Garden to try.

[Yurovsky]

41. Mmmm ... Olive Garden!

[TexasLady]

42. Mmmm their bruschetta

[cali]

44. There is no such thing as edible- let alone great- food at an Olive

Garden or an such chain. They serve vile ersatz food pumped with nasty chemicals. I ate there once. Yuck.

[rug]

46. Now cali, just because all milk-based food curdles when placed before you, it's no reason to dis OG.

[cali]

49. I'm a food snob. I believe in eating local as much as possible

Today I had a fantastic meal in little Barre VT at a place that serves mostly VT products. I don't do chain restaurants. No McDonalds, no Olive Garden, it's all crap. Eat local. Shop local. I don't even remember the last time I set foot in a chain store or restaurant.

[JohnnyLib2]

55. Uh oh, sounds like a case of gnocci-envy.

:evilgrin:

[cali]

58. nope. I make my own.

It's not hard at all.

[JohnnyLib2]

64. LOL, had some tonight.

Potato. Told the grandkids they were Irish this time. :hi:

[Adelante]

59. Thank you

I was wondering if the world had changed this much.

[shayes51]

47. Wish I could have been there.

[emilyg]

50. Me, too.

[Captain Hilts]

57. Looks like you had a good day for the parade. I like to go to Lenox to Bingham's Restaurant...

they do all their own baking on premises. Check it out!

[Hoof Hearted]

60. I had some Hunan tonight. I watched footage of Scranton, though she looked great.

Very happy and relaxed. She's really starting to shine. I'm sure she realizes it's all over for him now.

Yeah, a Grand day indeed.

[JimGinPA]

61. Did She Really Get Mooned When They Marched Past Dunder-Mifflin?

:wow:

[rug]

63. I thought I recognized your face!

:hi:

[jmowreader]

62. We have the Photographic Evidence!!! Series!!!!1!!!!111!! This is HUGH!!!!!

[elixir]

65. She's terrific, isn't she? there's something about her confidence and ability to connect.

[Joe the Revelator]

66. It doesn't suprise me at all that hillary supporters eat at the Olive Garden

[Redstone]

67. Was she breastfeeding?

Redstone

[Thurston Howell III]

70. I heard they found Jimmy Hoffa in a storage compartment in the

campaign's jet.
