We did their reading rainbow program where you got a sticker for every book you read, and I think you got a free personal pizza for free when you filled up your rainbow. I am not sure if I can thank pizza hut for my love of reading, or if my love of leading led to my love of pizza, but needless to say these are two of my most favorite things.

It was okay, but I'm not very partial to swiss cheese. As someone who went to Casa Bonita for the first time when I turned 27, I can say I had an awesome time. Yes, the food is less than delicious but the sopapillas more than made up for that. It really was a fun time and I enjoyed it a lot. I don't think I would go again until we're taking Tres there for his birthdays someday, but I am looking forward to whenever that happens.

That is probably the best assesment of Rampage I have ever heard. See, I brought up Bennigan’s and there goes Dagger on about the Turkey O’Toole.

Everyone has the same experience with that game: Age 7-11: This game is awesome! Age 12: OK, I'm bored now. Age 19: Hey, Rampage! I remember this game. It's awesome! Age 19 (2 minutes later): OK, I'm bored again. Rampage was the King Kong ripoff where you were either the monkey or the giant lizard and tried to destroy the city.

I could go for one of those right now!" It's 8:15 in the morning. But that sandwich was so ri-goddamn-diculously good, how could you not think that? It was shaved turkey and swiss with honey mustard served on a fucking pretzel roll. It was otherworldly. This is the only thing I lament about Bennigan's closing. Senor Limon and I tried to go to a Pizza Hut in Wasilla, AK and the trashy asshole employees smoking in the parking lot gave us grief about where we parked, then wouldn't serve us once we got in. Fuck the hut. And now that we're older, doesn't the ball pit look like the most disgusting place on earth? A bunch of sticky little children spreading e.coli all over the place... I'm no germophobe, but yuck. Dude, the first thing I thought when I saw Bennigan’s on this list was “Oh man, fuckin’ Turkey O’Toole! I could go for one of those right now!” It’s 8:15 in the morning.

I remember trying to convince my dad to take me to all these places and he would flatly refuse because the food sucked. So I only went when some other parent got duped into taking us there. That rampage game was the one where you faced your opponent at a table right? That was awesome. Plus they gave you stickers and free pizza for reading books. Far out!
