i just to go on the record saying that i hate the farking olive garden.

with that out of the way, i hope the little squirt is ok

Must have been all those breadsticks.

Did she get the salad and breaksticks while she was in the bathroom?

/got nothin'

The headline confused me at first, but it's making use of the common interchange between you're/your.

Molavian: pubes on the breadsticks

You sure that was a breadstick?

I'm boycotting TGI Fridays. Last time we were there, we were home on vacation and there was about ten of us. They refused to seat us anywhere besides this one table that was already occupied. We waited for about an hour just to get into the restaurant and, when we did, we noticed how deserted the other sections were. They could have at least pushed a few tables together in another section for us. Instead, we waited in the foyer all that time. And then we waited about 45 minutes for mediocre food. We complained to the manager and my wife left a lengthy written complaint on a comment card, but I'm willing to bet the manager could care less and the card ended up in the trash.

When I was young, there was this house a few doors down that had an olive tree in their front yard. We used to pick them and then squeeze them and shoot the pimentos at people. One time we gathered a whole bunch of olives and planeted them, but nothing ever happened. Those things really stained, too, now that I think about it.

Ha. TFer symphonik was talking about hearing this on his scanner a couple days ago...

Also:

Olives come off the tree with sweet peppers stuffed in them? ;P

Didn't someone post this story a few days ago in his "I found my old police scanner and here are some amusing stories" thread?

I like Olive Garden a lot. Never had bad service there, and I like to food.

olive garden sucks!! the food is always cold and "home made" ya right... chef boyardee makes better pasta....

will they serve the placenta with a hardy ragout?

Attention everyone!

Italy just called - they want their type of cuisine to not be associated with the food Olive Garden serves. They seemed a bit upset about it too.

/lives in Italy - thank you very much.

I used "...your family (gets larger)", it was changed by the mods. It was a 50/50 call, as either way it's wrong grammatically.

/submitter

One way to spot ET aliens is their inabilty to use contractions.

/just thought you'd like to know.

Everyone raves about Olive Garden breadsticks, but I think Fazoli's breadsticks are eleventy billion times better.

This will be great once the liters get it!

Yeah, a TFer was talking about this a couple days ago. He said he heard on the scanner that the manager of the store wouldn't unlock the door or something. Weird situation.

In college, Olive Garden was the place to take a date.

And not if you didn't like her. Just because there wern't very many affordable "sit down" places around. It was Olive Garden or Hometown Buffett.

The mods should change it back, and take out the parentheses. "Your family gets larger" IS grammatically correct, it just doesn't use the original spelling from the slogan. The joke will still work, you just have to rely on people "hearing" it in their heads. The headline as written is just plain cringe-inducing.

/sick and cranky

Look for this story next month on a Very Special ER.

Dr. Romano takes That British Doctor played by Alex Kingston out to eat at the Olive Garden and dramatically assists in a life-affirming childbirth of an immigrant's baby on the floor of the Women's restroom. Also features a knee slapping 'Who's on First?' tribute when Dr. Romano orders 'Extra Parmesean'.

Guest starring Rosie Perez as the Immigrant That Doesn't Know About Hospitals.

Dude olive garden kiicks ass, for what it is.

Its certainly not the best italian food, but a wonderful wonderful place to go on suday hung over as all get out.

When you're here, you're eating really, really crappy Italian food.

As I said, for what it is. Certainly there arent as many great italian places around here as say you damn yankee's have, but I know good italian food pretty well. I still like olive garden much like I like walmart occasionally, just cause its easy and cheap, and I am little more than a borke college student.

My fiancee and I ate at olive garden in restaurant row in Grapevine, TX a couple months ago.

I got a metal piece... of the fryer... in my chicken parm...

We got the meal comped and a $50 gift card.

I'll have what shes having.

rbaron71: I think by "common interchange" you mean "blatantly and completely and inexcusably wrong mistake made by retards who can't stop and think for half a second what their contractions mean if un-contracted".

"Olive Garden: When you are here, you are family (gets larger)"

and now the thread dies...

how sad.

No offense, bu this is one thing us Nawthuners in New Yawk definately do well

And I see typing isn't one of them. ;)

Olive Garden is at its best when you're eating soup, salad and breadsticks. The food on their menu is generic. Even if it tasted stellar, which it doesn't, the menu selection itself is generic. It's not bad, but I've never had an urge to go to Olive Garden and eat anything except soup, salad and breadsticks.

I wonder if the guy who got her pregnant will lock himself in the Olive Garden's men's room, and give himself a vasectomy ...

The headline could have been pulled of with phonetically Italian spelling:

Olive Garden: When ya here, yer family (gets larger)

Bad example, because I'm not Italian

What a terrible place to give birth. Clean enough, I guess, but with that godawful muzak playing all the time.

As for why she didn't seek medical help, I'm guessing she was an illegal alien.

once when I was owning/managing a sandwich shop, one of our employees had a miscarriage in the bathroom. There was nooooooooooo amount of cleaning that was ever going to make me feel right about that bathroom ever again.

Can you get that with a vinagerette?

I'm in the news business in Denver. We sat and listened to this yesterday afternoon. Gah.

/try the red sauce.

Same thing happened about a year ago at an Olive Garden in NJ. We wondered if they named the baby 'Oliver'.

/must be all those olives in the salad

"Steve Cokeman, a representative of the Italian restaurant chain said, "EWWWWwWWw!""

I used to work at that Olive Garden, before I figured out that Boulder is a crappy town full of worthless hippie trust funders and moved into the mountains

The food isn't bad, in the sense that it would be hard to take something like sausage and peppers and make it awful without adding dirt or whatever. Good Italian food takes time to cook though, and that's just not the nature of family style restaurants.
