• Favorite fast food items

    From Daryl Stout@VERT/TBOLTBBS to Mortar on Saturday, January 03, 2026 02:19:54
    Could be a regional thing. When I went out to L.A., an Arby's
    there offered a pulled pork sandwitch which mine back home
    didn't; hadn't even heard of it.

    I saw a sign at a barbecue restaurant:

    "I like my butt rubbed, and my pork pulled". <G>

    Another long time Little Rock barbecue place has the slogan
    "You Can't Beat Our Meat". <G>

    I'm stealing that for a tagline :)

    That's a rib tickler.

    Not food-related, but there's a pet salon called Doggy Style, with the sub-heading, "We do cats, too."

    You're not stealing, you're gathering research. <G>

    There's a small hole-in-the-wall BBQ restaurant in southwest
    Little Rock, that has been in business since 1961. Their slogan
    is "you can't beat our meat". :) Indeed, I love their jumbo BBQ
    pork sandwich.

    Not food-related, but there's a pet salon called Doggy Style,
    with the sub-heading, "We do cats, too."

    I could make a snide remark on that, but discretion is the better
    part of valor. :)

    On one of the ham radio traffic nets I do, two of the hams have Corgis...
    and both give the nets "a four paws up rating". <G>

    At least my nets haven't gone to the dogs.

    Especially when Net Control has to BARK at those who won't follow net protocol.

    I know of one ham who will key up and call CQ, without asking if the frequency is already in use.

    Patience a virtue, and a lot of ham radio operators don't have that... especially considering they are trying to make their quota of ham radio
    net checkins for that day.

    Well basically anybody can get a license because they removed requirements and made the test easy.

    i know several bbs people that barely function that got their ham license.

    I always knew Big HAM was working behind the scenes to push for more checkins.

    One can't be fashionably late for a ham radio net. I'll give folks
    plenty of time to checkin, but there is a similar setup that I myself
    and other net control station uses when checkins dry up.

    1) Auctioneer Mode -- going once, going twice, sold, close the checkins
    and the net.

    2) Baseball Mode -- 3 strikes, and the net is closed.

    Many nets meet at the same day and time, so you have to decide which
    net(s) you want to check into.
