There was in fact no Pibb to be found at the local drugstore chain where we bought all the soda. In terms of local brands, we were able to get Cheerwine, as well as Sun Drop. Ronnie can attest to this, as he was with me on the beverage run. And lets face it, Pibb sucks. Its not worthy of a eG sponsored event. Its a pale imitation of the original.

Are you on drugs, Shaw? CHEERWINE!!! Not Mr. Pibb! We had plenty of Cheerwine and Diet Cheerwine.

Brad Brennan, GM of Commander's Place Las Vegas, was quoted in Las Vegas Review Journal this morning that Commander's Palace, which would have celebrated its 125 year anniversary is unsalvageable, along with its 18,000 bottles of wine.

This is for you, Brooks!

Rachel and I started out this morning at the local Waffle House. Being our first Waffle House experience we decided to go with the signature dishes: Sausage Egg and Cheese sandwich on Texas Toast, with Scattered Home Fries "All The Way"

Actually, I did, but somehow it escaped me last night when posting the photos: And the very good banana pudding:

Ronnie and I were still feeling kinda hungry after the meal, so Varmint brought us to Time Out to get us a Chicken Biscuit, which we shared with two large Diet Cokes. We have to watch our figures, otherwise we might get fat.
