Show Some Love for the 24 hour Restaurant

One of my favorite pastimes has been to visit 24 hour restaraunts in the early hours of the morning. These establishments will always hold a very special place in my heart. When I was in high school, George Webbs was the restaurant of choice, but now IHOP reigns supreme. There is so much to love about these restaraunts besides the fact that they are open as long as they can just squeeze by health inspections (IHOP barely survived last year) The food is always good because you are usually drunk and hungry as hell. If you are overweight, there is almost always one person who is fatter than you ever will be. No matter who you are with, you can always find something to talk about. And of course there is always the atmosphere. When I visit these places I am usually fairly intoxicated, so I dont remember very much. However, the memories that I do have are truly spectacular. Some of the most interesting people you will ever meet, also partake in extremely late night dining. 3:30 to 4:30 is usually primetime, but you can find a wide variety of freaks all the way up to about 6:00 a.m. when normal working folk start venturing in. Just last Friday I was walking in to IHOP when this lady in a red dress catches my eye. Then my friend says look at that lady in the red dress, so I decide to take a closer look. This wasn't the normal late night skank that you usually see standing in line. This was the ugliest transvestite I have ever seen. While I am staring at this monstrosity, a fight breaks out in the back of the restaraunt. This guy who is clearly a flaming homosexual, gets pushed into a table spilling water all over the place. The two gladiators are then escorted out of the restaraunt by a cop with the spitting image of Steve Urkel. If that is not entertainment, I don't know what is.
