> >Western Ohio looks like a giant pool table. It is green and flat as a pancake. You can see for forever in western Ohio, which explains why famous, when she last visited us, said she got claustrophobic when she opted for the scenic route and found herself on forested back roads in Vermont. The closeness of one's field of vision is nothing to us, but it sure contrasts with Ohio.

> Ok.. I definitely wouldn?t use the word ?opted?. That was a horrific drive for me. You constantly feel like people are going to come out of the trees and attack your car, so you speed up only to have to slow down immediately because the road is so darn twisted that you can?t see more than 20 feet in front of you at any one time.

LOL. You just felt that way because you've watched too many horror movies. The reality is that Vermont has less crime in it than...some place with almost no crime at all. You were safer on that windy backwoods Vermont road than you were at any other part of the drive, I'm sure.

> I generally don?t tolerate this kind of thing in public, but I don?t like to embarrass people I?m with. However, had I been alone...

Next time, please do not restrain yourself.

> 2) You can?t - CAN NOT - think of the burgers as burgers in any sense that you know them. That tends to ruin the experience because they are not anything like what McDonalds, BurgerKing or Wendy?s makes. And they weren?t intended to be.

Yeah, ok, that's fine, but my question is, were they intended to be food?

> 3) I?ve never seen the cheeseburgers, but I?m betting the cheese is no good anyway.

It was just generic American cheese. No biggie.

> 4) Who eats fries at White Castle???? That's just wrong.

Wait, you've actually eaten the crap they serve for burgers and call eating the FRIES wrong? What's wrong about eating the single stomachable item on the menu? The fries were better than the fries at most other fast food places, actually.

> 5) I'm not the one who coined the sliders term.

I told my co-workers about White Castle. One of them had heard of White Castle from when he was in Texas, and he was interested to learn that they are still around in the midwest. Anyway, he recognized the term right off and agreed with you that the use of the term seems to be encouraged by the company. This escalates the evil factor of White Castle burgers at least twofold. The only thing more astonishing than a restaurant chain that knowingly, proudly, and openly serves mashed pig slop is that apparently people pay money to eat it.
