hmmmph.

"Adam and Eve on a raft" is 2 eggs over easy with sausage. Adam and Eve
on a raft, wreck 'em" is 2 eggs scrambled with sausage. What they
describe is "Adam and Eve floating" and toast is taken for granted with
all breakfasts; there's no need specify.

In the late '70s I spent a couple years on the line on the graveyard
shift in a 24-hour-coffeeshop. Then again, that particular place it
didn't matter. It was always 2:30am in there, on the 20th day of night.

There were people coming in there and talking to the flowers on the counter.

And there were no flowers on the counter.

It wasn't just the customers.

I remember a fellow I was working with crashing on a speed psychosis....
he overturned a large stockpot of hard-boiling eggs, probably about 20
dozen or so, and stomped all over them screaming "HATCH NOW, YOU LITTLE
DINOSAURS!!!"

> and did you actually roll oysters in bacon?

Not in the coffee shop. But Angels on Horseback (same thing with
scallops, oysters are Devils on Horseback) were on my lunch menu. On my
brunch menu, I did deep-fried breaded oysters w/bacon in an omelet shell
called Hangtown Fries.

I think he'd just seen Alien for the first time before starting the shift.

The kitchen manager was kinda pissed; docked Bobby's paycheck the cost
of the eggs and made him work day shift for a month.
