Well it is Idaho.

There's only so many articles about potatoes you can write.

 
CheddarPants [TotalFark] 2008-09-02 09:09:41 PM  
If it was just Rikki and C.C., as the article suggests, their check was probably less than $25.

/osht, I'm posting on it too

As someone from the same area as Poison let me just say..

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Still lobbying for a Ruthven Zipcode tag.

On Monday, a Boise waitress got a $25 tip and a sticker that could be worth as much as $5 on eBay.

That article read like it came straight from The Onion.

$25 is nothing.

I once got tipped $100 for not telling this one bloke's wife he was at the bar. (She had called looking for him.)

Tongue-in-cheek? We may never know.

Honestly, I think the writer was a bit generous...

Sweet. Bet you could have squeezed out another $100 for that one.

Uhhh.....

Boise is my hometown. But I don't exactly understand why this article got greenlit. Makin' fun of Idaho?!

Well...fark you, too xD

 
gunthans 2008-09-03 12:14:46 AM  
The sad thing about it is they are headed to Blackfoot Idaho to play at the fair on Thursday. (Blackfoot has a population of 12,000 people). They must have gone down hill.

 
T-Luv 2008-09-03 12:18:41 AM  
What? They tip 25 bucks at Cracker Barrel and it makes the news. My grandparents should be on the news constantly then. I guess that's why it's on Fark, but gyah! WTF! W.T.F?

 
Uppercut Sonata 2008-09-03 12:19:05 AM  
This is why Fark was created.

 
daveydave 2008-09-03 12:19:57 AM  
I left a $5 tip at Bob Evans today. Sunshine Skillet.

 
Poppa Boner [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:20:11 AM  
BOO!! YOU SUCK!!! GET OFF THE STAGE YOU POSERS!!!!

*throws bottle*

Oh crap. I'm not at a Poison concert. Ah shiat Mom! OH GAWD SHE'S BLEEDING!!! Guys! A little help here? GUYS!!!

Yeah, but was the waitress hot?

I think it's making more fun that the article was written in the first place

 
cornponebread [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:25:10 AM  
I thought those asshats were dead. Oops, that would be Great White. Or was that Lynyrd Skynyrd? Wait, Freddie Mercury. I can't keep track of this. Crawling back under my rock now, to listen to Foghat on 8-track. I don't think those guys are dead yet...

My brother heckled Quiet Riot when they were playing at the Holiday Inn in Anchorage a few years back. I always knew he was a mean sonofabiatch...but damn!

/it is the destiny of all big hair bands, I fear....

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SARAH PHALIN?

WAIT! This isn't Phark.com?

Where the hell am I?

 
davidphogan [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:27:40 AM  
Subby here, and I only submitted it because I couldn't figure out why the Fark I had read it. This is the Farkest article I've had green-lit. I'd like to thank Poison, Cracker Barrel, Boise, the Idaho Statesman, and the FSM.

 
hatelabs 2008-09-03 12:31:27 AM  
Subby,..subby...

"And in other news,...Poison still exists."

/I expect too much I guess...
//I still LOL'd

 
ImagiC 2008-09-03 12:31:53 AM  
I left a $20 tip on a $19 check once. Where's my friggin' newspaper article?! Oh that's right... I'm a nobody.

But wait, so is Poison...



/it was xmastime, and the server's (hectic) second night on the job
//felt bad for her, she was sweet and a little overwhelmed
///got a big hug in return!

 
Elpants 2008-09-03 12:33:11 AM  
What the hell. Poison was in Boise and I was not notified so I could take proper action to protect myself?

 
haemaker [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:33:24 AM  
"We're Cyanide, a loving tribute to Poison"

 
T-Luv 2008-09-03 12:34:25 AM

She lied! You took the bait. jk I tip fat around holidays too. Only a scrooge doesn't.

 
HotRodHooligan 2008-09-03 12:35:58 AM  
EL_FABREZ: Yeah, but was the waitress hot?

Going out on a limb here. If she's working at Cracker Barrel, I don't think she is hot.

 
Cybervamp 2008-09-03 12:36:02 AM  
Ah hell sounds just like them. Wife is a HUGE Poison fan and when they came through Dallas a few years ago I set it up so we could hang with Brett after the concert. Nicest famous person I have ever met.

/and hella "thank you honey" sex!!

 
frostus [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:39:09 AM

Nah, they always sucked.

 
Smeggy Smurf 2008-09-03 12:42:17 AM  
I thought I smelled old people on Monday.

/we need a Boise Fark Party

 
RevMercutio [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:42:30 AM  
Considering the last time Poison got press was Rikki Rockett being accused of rape, this has to be an improvement.

 
bugmn99 2008-09-03 12:44:27 AM  
I was in Boise once.

Hey, somebody should write a story about me!

 
IkilledJudas 2008-09-03 12:47:18 AM  
I think most people have left a $25 tip or more before. I'd like a job at this newspaper and write articles about.....uummm...something just as stupid

/brain is off for the night

 
Lottolandus 2008-09-03 12:48:14 AM  
They have 25 dollars in cash!? WTF. Still?

 
DOW 2008-09-03 12:49:51 AM  
IkilledJudas: I think most people have left a $25 tip or more before.

Sweet Jeebus no. Maybe $5 tops at an Olive Garden.

 
The_Sponge [TotalFark] 2008-09-03 12:50:00 AM  
Poison is glam rock?

I thought they were butt rockers.

/Or maybe hair metal.

 
ctthoqqua 2008-09-03 12:50:26 AM  
This Boise Farker is loving this non-story.

Oh, and thanks for making this one of the most-read stories at the Statesman. It will encourage them to write about more ex-famous people stopping by to empty their colons.

 
Ex Machina Deus 2008-09-03 12:50:37 AM  
What does this story have to do with Palin's underage daughter having a her second bastard baby?? Let's focus people!!

 
guesser 2008-09-03 12:52:36 AM  

I'm more curious as to who called the Statesman, and why.



/lived in Idaho for 20 years


 
moxxiecillin 2008-09-03 12:52:42 AM  
What I love is the fact that they ate at Cracker Barrel. Especially when there was a perfectly good Chuck O Rama right around the corner! Next to the Fuddruckers!

/was just down the road at Barnes & Noble while they were at Cracker Barrel
//Wouldn't have recognized them if I WAS at Cracker Barrel
///Used to work in Blackfoot, home of the Idaho Potato Museum!
////Eastern Idaho sucks.

If you've lived in Idaho for 20 years, you know why.
News about the Oregon Trail is only soooo exciting, and the senator only get's busted once in a blue moon for soliciting sex from men in a public restroom.

Is Yucatan still there, just down the street from this shiathole Cracker Barrel? They had an awesome sunday brunch, with the little old Mexican grandma patting out fresh tortillas....

Damn I miss the view from Table Rock too........

 
Fish! 2008-09-03 12:56:33 AM  
Well look at what the cat dragged in... this article it seems.

/got nuthin'

Damn, she's probably a racist too.
