hey everyone, i wanted to share a funny billboard i saw while in rhode island. the billboard was an advertisement for the 'cracker barrel' restaurant saying it was 22 miles away. this was funny because who the hell is gonna say "oh man cracker barrel im gonna travel halfway across the state to get there"? not me, that's for sure - even if i were to start heading over to the cracker barrel, i'd surely come by some much better restaurants on the way!

also, sorry to go off-topic, but another somewhat related funny thing i saw was next to our hotel there was a restaurant called "aroogas". i thought that was a pretty funny name for a restaurant, lol!

bye!

22 miles is maybe halfway across my mega-city. What kind of baby state do you live in? lmao

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go offline for a bit. There's a radiation storm coming and it's not safe to be above ground anymore.

i mentioned in the OP that the state was rhode island, and i also mentioned getting a hotel and given that the state is so small it wouldn't make sense to stay at a hotel if i lived in the state so from that context you could reasonably deduce that i don't live there. i appreciate the engagement on this post but please read the thread! :)

The food is generic “Southern” slop.

The restaurants have a store at the front that sells kitschy poo poo and probably Trump paraphernalia depending on location.

lol i'm from ma so i'm familiar with cracker barrel's ubiquity - just one more reason that it was so funny they felt the need to advertise one 22 miles away! i used to go down to ri sometimes too when i was in high school to go to an arcade i later learned was owned and run by a pedophile that only got into arcade games so he could pick up 14 year olds at conventions

There was a pizza place in the town I used to live in called Fun House Pizza and I only ever passed by it but I imagine it was created for the same reason as that arcade. I think it was also beside a Cracker Barrel.

Fair enough, but folks, I may be sick as poo poo right now, near-delerious with the flu or probably the 'vid, but is this guy trying to tell us that there's an island that is entirely its own state?

Like, as if there's some kind of internal America-Austraila situation or some poo poo going on that I ain't never heard of? Preposterous.

e: Ahhh nuts. It actually turned out to be COVID :(

22 miles. Man. You have given a wonderful perspective of how truly small Rhode Island is.

I swear there are 60 mile stretches of road in SE WA that don't even have a gas station.

Never once did I ever get any crackers at a Cracker Barrel. They don’t bring crackers out with your food. There are no crackers for sale in the gift shop. American hypocrisy at its best. :colbert:

Worcester has the giant Polar bear. You can’t have two giant mascots in the same city otherwise they will fight.
