A Cultural Experience

So, my Mom and I have begun a Thursday night ritual of going out to dinner. When the topic was discussed tonight, Mom thought it would be a good idea to go to Ryan's. We are trying to eat better and for some reason, thought that maybe there would be more healthy options since there's a buffet. First of all, WRONG!!! Second of all, what were we thinking to begin with??? Third, it was quite an experience. I could hardly eat for paying attention to all the conversations going on around me. I almost spewed my tea across the table a couple times laughing at what I was hearing. That's when I had the idea to make a top ten list. Yes, the top ten things you might just hear when eathing at Ryan's. Before you ask, we really did hear every single one of them! To get the proper effect, some are written in "redneck dialect."

10. (said by a man to a woman)-"How're you doing Dan the Man??"

9. Did you see my Cadillac?

8. You want some potater wedges?

7. Do you know what you get when you don't listen? A spankin'

6. I've got a bad neck.

5. You got enough butter on that?

4. You want some of this too?

3. If ye keep ye mouth shut, I'll care ye out der.

2. Now that's a redneck supper right there.

1. I left my teeth in the car.

HAAAAAAAAA!!!! That's right. I couldn't believe it myself. I don't care to ever visit Ryan's again. I actually feared for my life just before leaving. Can we say thugs? What an experience. Healthy food? No! Humor? Absolutely.

P.S. This post is dedicated to Bridgett, whose favorite restaurant is Ryan's (seriously.) HA HA HA HA HA!

Let the Games Begin!!!

This time of year has to be my favorite! The weather is starting to cool off (FINALLY!), fall is in the air, and the Auburn football season kicks off. Today was our first game. We played Washington State at home and won 40-14. We're ranked number 4 in the polls right now. That's exciting! Watching the games bring back so many awesome memories from my days there. That experience was priceless and I'm so proud to say that I graduated from Auburn University! Here's to football season.....War Eagle!!!!!!!!!
