Just happy they didn't charge me for the 'extra sauce.'
You do know he meant no bars as in cell service, right?
AH...
I meant cell phone bars.
Oh, LOL.
But my kind of bars lent into the kind of town I grew up in, in the 60's and 70's. And one had the best home made pizza, ever.
Bottled water?
My PaPaw would never believe someone would pay for such a thing.
It's free...
Get yourself one of those shiny mug thingys from the Walmart, turn on faucet and Boom good for half a day!!

Would that have been Rays Kingburger, by any chance?Nah brother...
When she worked there they didn't do special orders. You ate it the way it came or scraped it off.
Burger King's "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce" jingle was meant to attract customers who didn't want to rake condiments into trash before eating.
Oh and she could take home any food that was left over at end of night...
Part of what kept me coming around.
Hey the only time my family "ate out" was when a local place "Rays", partially owned by Richard Petty, had a five hamburgers for a $1 special.
Maybe??
Think it was only around for 5 or 6 years.
Building is still there. Looks like something from The Jetsons.
If I remember right was silver with orange point towards the sky roof?
Been repainted like nine times since then.
I think that's it. They named the Kingburger as such in honor of Richard Petty.
It was the only place in town to get a burger when I was a kid, and it was Soooooo good!
After doing a hi-tech redneck google search I believe you are correct madam.
All I know is they often were our choice to "eat out" as a family because there were two teenage boys a year and a half apart that apparently were hard to fill up.
Just remember I could get 2, that's right 2!!!, hamburgers whenever we went there.
I loved the Body on Tap commercial. "But don't drink it!"
And then there was this... We washed our hair with some weird stuff back in the day!
From when I was 10 years old my father had me cut the lawn with one of these…
And clear brush with one of these…
I think it was about 1972 when I finally realized it wasn’t the 1800’s anymore.

My Grandpa had one of those hanging on the wall in the shed. I wasn't allowed to touch it.......
Bought Noxzema even before I needed to shave...
She ain't come by my shower yet!!!
Mr Whipple made toilet paper squeezing cool while offering a little innuendo to go with.
Now we got a family of bears talking about their rear ends.
Who they kidding? You can't get that stuff out of fur!!!
First time I saw ESPN was fall of 1981 as a freshman at UNC-CH...
Only thing they had on live at the time was Australian rules football...
WOW.

I was an expert with it. I bet today I could still clear brush faster and better than with any modern trimmer. And I was able to get the rows of cut brush in a nice straight line that made picking up with a hay pitchfork into a wheelbarrow easy. And with one of these I was able to put a razor's edge on that yard long blade.
The hair, the foldover jeans AND the tightly folded jean cuffs.
check, check, check.

For a short time in the 80s these were fashionable for both guys and girls. I loved them to work outside in. Thinking about it... I have a lot of work to do this spring and just might get myself another pair. They might be out of style now but it would be better than subjecting people to my plumber look.
