Dinner

Alright, alright, settle down everyone. Let’s get this show on the road, huh? We’re all here together, stuffed into our fancy clothes, to celebrate this young couple, bless their hearts. They went and got themselves hitched! So before we start shoveling down this good grub, let’s say a little somethin’ somethin’ to the Big Man upstairs. Ya know, for good luck and all that. Lord God, we’re awful thankful. Look at all this, just look at it! All these folks gathered here, happy as clams. And this spread! My goodness,…

Alright, alright, let’s talk about this here weddin’ dinner music, you know, the songs they play when you’re eatin’ your chicken and mashed potatoes. It’s gotta be somethin’ nice, somethin’ that makes you feel good, not that head-bangin’ stuff the young’uns listen to. First off, you gotta think about the place you’re havin’ the weddin’. Is it a fancy shindig in a big hall, or somethin’ more down-home in your backyard? If it’s fancy, maybe some of that old-timey music like that fella, Frank what’s-his-name, sang. Yeah, that “The Way…

Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here… thingamajig, this triangle dinner bell. You know, the kind you clang on to get folks to come eat? Yeah, that’s the one. What is this triangle dinner bell thing anyway? I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but it’s a piece of metal, shaped like a… well, like a triangle, you see. And it’s got this little stick thingy that you hit it with. Ding ding ding! That’s the sound it makes. Loud enough to wake the dead, I tell ya! Some…

Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about them Thursday dinner deals. It’s like this, see? Some folks, they like to eat out on a Thursday. Don’t know why, maybe they’re tired of cookin’ after workin’ all week, or maybe they just got a hankerin’ for somethin’ different. Anyways, these restaurants, they figured this out. So, they started offerin’ these here deals on Thursdays. Deals, you know? Like, cheaper food. Makes sense, I guess. Get folks in the door, sell ’em some food, make a little money. That’s how it works….

Alright, listen up, y’all. Gonna tell ya ’bout this here… uh… whatchamacallit… “The Last Dinner Party” thingy they got goin’ on in Kansas City. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ them city folk do. So, this “Last Dinner Party” ain’t no potluck at the church, mind you. It’s some kinda… band. Yeah, a whole group of young’uns makin’ noise. They call it “indie rock” music. Don’t ask me what that means, sounds like a bunch of rocks clangin’ together to me. But hey, the young folks seem to like it….

Well, howdy there! Let’s gab a bit about findin’ a free Thanksgiving dinner, ya hear? It’s that time of year when folks get together, eat a whole heap of food, and, well, some folks need a little help gettin’ that food on the table. So, if you’re lookin’ for a free Thanksgiving dinner near me, you’ve come to the right place, sort of. First off, let’s talk turkey. Now, some folks say turkey is a must-have for Thanksgiving, but honestly, any kinda meat’ll do, or no meat at all! The…

Well, howdy there! Lemme tell ya, someone done cooked me a real nice dinner the other day, and my mama always told me, “Ya gotta say thank you when someone does somethin’ nice for ya.” So, here I am, tryin’ to write this here… uh… thank you letter, like them fancy folks do. Don’t know much about writin’ fancy, but I know how to be grateful, that’s for sure. So, first off, I gotta say a big ol’ thank you. Yeah, THANK YOU real big! That food was somethin’ else….

Alright, let’s talk about this “thank you dinner” thing. You know, after someone fills your belly with good food, you gotta say somethin’. It ain’t just about stuffin’ your face and waddlin’ away, ya hear? First off, you gotta say thank you right then and there. Don’t wait till next week or nothin’. Right after you finish eatin’, look ’em in the eye and say, “I really liked that dinner. Thanks a bunch for feedin’ me.” See? Simple as pie. It’s gotta come from the heart, though. Don’t just mumble…

Well, let me tell ya ’bout this sunset dinner cruise in Oahu, Hawaii. It ain’t somethin’ fancy like them city folks do, but it sure is somethin’ special. First off, you get on this big ol’ boat. Real big, like a floatin’ house. They call it a “cruise ship,” but to me, it’s just a big boat. This boat, she’s long, real long. They say she’s over two hundred feet long. That’s a whole lotta feet, I tell ya! And she’s steady too. They got these things called “stabilizers” that…
