Is this a complaint that at 4:45 AM people are driving too fast because there's no traffic? Or that cops shouldn't park at IHOP?

What? What is this thread? And why does your thread title suck so much?

You drove about a mile from my house. I'm usually on 200 though going over to 29 or 95.

Don't tell him where you live....he'll invite himself in.

If he does happen to make it to your place, remember the rules....don't get him wet, no bright lights, and no food after midnight.

Never really been a fan of IHOP
I am. I like cheap, unpretentious food.

My housemate hates it for the same reason, but for some reason when she goes on vacation to the Gulf Coast, she gets all excited about fucking Waffle House, which is basically the same damn thing.

Thankfully the Washington DC area population density is such that even giving him a 1-2 mile area would be thousands and thousands people he'd need to wade through.


Taser is on standby however.

Bacon cheeseburger at 4:45 AM, McDonald's all nighter?

I start at 5:30 and get off at 2 so I can miss a lot of traffic but it still is getting worse year after year.

Cheap? I've generally been able to find cheaper, better quality breakfast food elsewhere. Most things there just seem to be "These dishes are subpar. Perhaps if we dump a shit ton of sugar on everything no one will notice"

I would say worse.

It is more about nothing in the menu is remotely healthy unless you ordered just eggs.

That's a great idea:
random fires, potential for smoke inhalation, hours-long delays, overcrowding, horribly expensive by all comparable standards of public small rail systems, etc.

It's the 2nd largest public rapid rail system in the country behind NYC subway. Not exactly small. Just saying ;)

I use to take the Metro for a couple of years but I took the fist train in the morning so I could stretch out. Afternoon I had to stand pretty much all the time. I would take it more if were more comfortable, and I could sit.

But to get down town to see the sights as a tourist there no better way imo.

It was inspired by your mother.

Little Feat version:

Rollin' down highway 28
A big ol' cheeseburger on my plate
Move on over, stand aside
My appetite's on overdrive
Gonna take my belly for a ride

Ooo she's got a smooth spread of mayonnaise
Ooo she's got a cool onion tease
If my gullet's gettin' tight, I'll lose bowel control tonight
Got the bun I love to squeeze, bacon brings me to my knees
Oh please, let it roll tonight

At that time there's practically not a single soul on the roads here. The odd cab and that's about it. Actually quite peaceful to just drive around then. I sometimes go for a timmy's run if it's quiet when I'm on night shift. :p
