They used to have them on the New York toll roads but the have been replaced by Carl Jr.'s.
Arby's is always welcome, along with Wendy's.

They had a Hardees ownership snafu for a time:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Rogers_Restaurants

1990: Hardee's[edit]
In 1990, Marriott sold the chain for $365 million to Hardee's, a Southern chain seeking further expansion into the Mid-Atlantic market. Hardee's converted the remaining non-franchised locations into Hardee's restaurants, although many of the converted Hardee's continued to offer Roy Rogers' fried chicken. The conversion of the Roy Rogers chain caused a customer revolt and the units returned the Roy Rogers brand.[32] The restaurants promoted new flame-broiled hamburgers, but they were not the same as the original Roy Rogers products and later failed.

Hardee's finally sold the remaining Roy Rogers locations to McDonald's, Wendy's and Boston Market between 1994 and 1996. This left 13 Roy Rogers franchisees, with two dozen free-standing locations, in addition to locations owned by HMSHost in travel plazas along highways in the Northeast.

2002: Plamondon Companies[edit]
In 1997, CKE Restaurants acquired Hardee's from Imasco, but Imasco retained the Roy Rogers trademark and franchise system, finally selling Roy Rogers to Plamondon Enterprises (now Plamondon Companies) in 2002, after three years of negotiation.[33] Roy Rogers was relaunched as Roy Rogers Franchise Company, LLC. Plamondon had already opened the first new Roy Rogers restaurant in Frederick, Maryland by Plamondon in 2000.[34][35]

Plamondon Companies, which opened its first franchised Roy Rogers restaurant in 1980, took the lead among franchisees in developing products, hosting training sessions and shooting new food photography for their stores. The company is run by Jim Plamondon and Peter Plamondon, Jr., the two sons of Peter Plamondon, Sr., head of the restaurant division at Marriott when the Roy Rogers brand was created. Based in Frederick, Maryland, Plamondon is a privately held company with revenues of $20 million in 2009.[36] As of 2017, Plamondon owns and operates 24 Roy Rogers Restaurants...




This answers a question I never asked, - yum!

Picture on the left last night was posted on 4chan at around 2AM. Apparently was taken in Mexico. Picture on right was taken in NYC tonight. What's going on?

These guys aren’t apart of the Syrian Arab Army, they’re apart of the Kurdish YPG. The guy on the far left at 2:31 is wearing a Kurdistan YPG patch on his chest, symbolizing he is Kurdish. Get your facts straight dude.

CenturyLink is experiencing a nationwide issue that is impacting the ability for some people to call 911.

On Thursday night, CenturyLink tweeted that its engineers identified a "network element" that was impacting customers. The company said it estimated services would be fully restored within four hours.

Do it NOW, Mr. President, no more of THIS:

They pulled a Martha Stewart on him.

Uh...ekshaully Martha was guilty of insider trading.

It's just that the punishment did not fit the crime.

Speaking of "other Bushes"...they sure are chummy with W's "brother from another mother" surrogate:

Ten days after her beloved grandfather George H.W. Bush’s funeral, Lauren Bush Lauren was back in New York City and joining forces with close Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin to fight children’s hunger.

“We are friends, I love Huma,” Bush Lauren, 34, a mom of two and founder of FEED Projects told PEOPLE before an event last Saturday at SoHo children’s store and e-tailer Maisonette.

Santa might be coming to town next week, but over the weekend haute childrenswear e-tailer Maisonette brought the festive cheer at their Soho pop-up shop. Celebrating their charitable shopping campaign Minis Move Mountains, the littlest guests were treated to learning about philanthropy from Feed foundation founder Lauren Bush Lauren, who cohosted the holiday soiree with Huma Abedin.

LMH comes on second hour.  And her red carpet is Tom Jones' "She's A Lady", which includes lyrics defining a lady as little, marginal, forebearing, people-pleasing, benign, and owned.

Gee, I thought she was kind of a big deal, center stage, driven, hard-working, independent, and willing to expose issues.

How come male guests are not preceded by songs revolving around their expected gender role limitations?

How come lib nitwits get fromaged by a mere classic pop tune? Always looking for some kind of race/class/gender phantasm to slay...sigh...

No.  There is plenty of middle ground between the two extremes.  George is at the other extrene, constantly with alcohol even when others near him aren't.

I've never really noticed this particular behavior, albeit I listen less than I used to.

QuoteAnd hypocritical, too.  In 2914 or so, he said he just had a sherry once in a while and he minimized his alcohol use by joking that he "doesn't go to bars! "  But, the photos and his other speech belie something totally different.

So maybe his alcohol consumption has varied over the years, is that something to obsess over? I mean seriously 14, you actually went so far as to keep a "drinking diary" on Joorch? Whoa...mental...

Absolutely nothing...he just trolls... which he does very poorly.

Yeah he picks these really banal avatars, the kind that make you think there may be non partisan whimsy afoot, then winds up and corkscrews himself into the ground with one or two alligator-armed snark punches...weird...

Quote from: chefist on December 27, 2018, 01:35:59 PM
That's just our own, WildTard...he's such a scamp.

Has he ever to your knowledge posted something of substance, authority, or even marginal use?

Quote from: WildCard on December 27, 2018, 01:22:30 PM

Why are you so PWND by any and every one here?

Listened to a Vara rerun last night - so last year's Super Bowl was rigged.

Um...Ok...and he has lots of folks making memes of him which pisses him off because if you search his pic you get gaymed.

Says his boys can kick ass on the trolls.

A year old, and still 100% trolling angst...

I like your guess better.

I hope you had a good Christmas.
I drove over 500 miles on the 24th and so on the 25th I just grabbed a load out of East Saint Louis and drove about 50 miles north on I-55 to a Love's and shut down. The Mcdonalds there had triple stacked breakfast sandwiches, and let me tell you that if you haven't had one yet, do yourself the favor!



Man - it was almost spiritual! Two of those and a big jug of apple juice and I was down for the count.

Today was all business...



Throw in two drop and hooks, three fuel stops, and a trailer wash out -- it was a long day...

Gotta test my sat. fat absorption capacities soon - this is like the McGriddle meets Big Mac - oh yeah!

Hey where you drive do you ever get a chance to eat in any of these:



Kicks ass on Arby's - 100% real beef, no loaf.

I don't want Cher's shit songs killing my soul. That's why.

Oh her...from Jackstar's link yesterday:
Sonny Bono.

Bono began his Hollywood career as a lieutenant for reclusive murder suspect Phil Spector.

1960s, Bono hooked up with an underage Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre to form a duo known first as Caesar and Cleo, and then as Sonny and Cher .

January 5, 1998 , Sonny Bono died after purportedly skiing into a tree.

Bono occupied a seat on the House Judiciary Committee, which was about to come to sudden prominence with the investigation and impeachment of President Bill.
