Urp! Thank you, Denny's!

If I hadn't watched the Superbowl ads on the web, I would not have known about Denny's promotion. From 6AM to 2PM today, a free Grand Slam breakfast for anyone who comes in. I see that they did this last year as well. This seems like a pretty effective way to get people in your door and advertise a business.

One blogger last year mentioned his experience last year, trying to get a free meal at 1:00 PM at a Denny's on the edge of the UCLA campus. He encountered a line two blocks long. Well, Duh... for something like that, you'd have to go early - especially when the words "free food" and "college students" are anywhere close to each other.

I went at 8:30 - my wait was only about 10 minutes long, and fortunately in the sun as the morning was chilly.

Not a bad breakfast for the price of a bit of gas and a two-dollar tip.

Thanks, Denny's - and I'll be back on my birthday, too!

As a breakfast should be. It should say to the world "There is nothing you can do that's worse than what I just did to myself."

That's like starting the day by swallowing a live toad. Nothing worse could happen to either of you for the rest of the day.

I actually did laugh out loud at this :-D
