iHop, david hasselhoff, and ham in a can...?

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

(note: this was sitting in my drafts for some reason... i thought i had posted it on tuesday. so i am going back in time to post it on it's intended date...)


some of my faves (L and her fella, L'N, B, and AC) and i made a sunday morning (ok, ok, it was more like afternoon...) trip to iHop. and it was epic. exactly the laughter and never ending pancakes that i needed...

seriously.

let me just summarize the trip by saying we have come up with 2 extremely exciting business ventures that have limitless possibility (more about that in a minute), we actually had the couple sitting next to us move (yes, we are that loud - alright, who am i kidding, I'M that loud), we scared the family on the other side of us when i decided it would be great to regal the other with tales of my drunken antics and subsequent pants removal... not too mention how i convince others to participate, and we managed to have our waitress go from completely walking away from us when we asked for a 6th chair (hey, there were 6 of us!!!) only to have her come back and say they were all being used at the moment (even though there were a number at the table next to us, which we took) to her offering us extra everything and laughing at our david hasselhoff jokes with us.

i was already in an exceptionally ridiculous mood because of my lack of sleep and my 15 hour work day the day before... add to that the fact that i was in a state of utter confusion with #23 to the point that i was making myself nauseous... it was an iHop trip to remember. you know there are going to be big things happening over pancakes when the first thing you see when you arrive is the sign for the all-you-can-eat pancakes.

hey, iHop's motto is "Come Hungry. Leave Happy." they weren't lying. (although you also leave smelling slightly of breakfast sausage and fried hashbrowns as well...)

i found out that i adore L's new fella. we have a common love for L and ridiculousness, not to mention we bonded over french vanilla coffe creamer, slabs of butter, and the butter pecan flavored syrup (what? you didn't know they had that? oh yes... but you ahve to ask for it. and even then, some waitstaff will deny its existence... but let me tell you... it exists and it is divine!). how happy am i for her? immensely. she really deserves someone who will treat her like the wonderful person she is. yay!

on to the business adventures... be forewarned: these are amazing ideas and you may not, under any circumstances, steal them. consider this your warning!

first: iHof. the restaurant dedicated to david hasselhoff and his complete and utter amazingness. we are taking themed uniforms, tvs all over playing baywatch in multiple languages, plates featuring his glorious face. and his music! oh his music will be piped in everywhere... especially the bathrooms. food cleverly named after him and his wonderful cinematic existence, look-alikes spread widely throughout the restaurant, mirrors manufactured by apple that make you appear as though you have his glorious girls and thick chest hair... and no... iHof will not be open 24-hours like iHop... we need to limit peoples intake of the Hof, or they may NEVER leave.

it is going to be glorious.

second: ham whiz. similar to it's dairy cousin cheese whiz and squeeze cheese. for some reason we have a running joke involving ordering food with "ham on it" and form there everything went south. so alas, HAM WHIZ was born! it is going to be this amazing shade of pink and you can use it on anything... even straight outta the can! think of the possibilities! and the marketing that could go along with it. hell, we could even sell combo packs of ham'n'cheese whiz.

seriously. we are brilliant.

oh how i love iHop........
