Don't know that I could stomach Denny's food because of politics. Once in a blue moon I'll eat there.

Maybe I'll try to hold my nose and choke down a meal there once i'm a while now. Sure wouldn't go there for the food.

Their food isn't my favorite but when so many places are posting nothing but PC crap ads I'll go more often to support Denny's for having such a positive ad.

Are you kidding me? From the comments section of the article:

I have just confirmed reservations for my ROMEO group to have our next luncheon at Denny's
"ROMEO" = Retired Old Men Eating Out.

Seriously? Reservations and Denny's, two words that make you laugh out loud.

And the "ROMEO" thing, wow! That has to be one of the gayest comments I've ever seen.

So those of us that are retired are also "gay"? (Just checking, I want to make sure I have my correct playbook.)

btw .... here is all about the Romeo club .. just in case yer interested.

[h=3]About[/h]


Are you a guy that has just retired and is looking for something to do and/or friends to associate with? The ROMEO's are a group of men that like to meet and socialize. No rules,dues,or commitment, just fun. You can find them all over the country,or
Mission

Our mission statement: Our organization will preserve and promote the ROMEO CLUB to future generations beyond the founding generation, the Greatest Generation which is the worldwide generation of Allies that served in World War II. This group overlaps with the G.I. Generation, the generation of veterans that fought and won World War II, later to become the Establishment, and the parents of children who would later become the Baby Boomers (1901-1924).

Company Overview

How to start a ROMEO Club in your area

Find a meeting place, such as a coffee shop, restaurant, or other appropriate location. Select a meeting time that would be convenient for most retired men. Then put an advertisement in the community section of your local news paper (usually it is a free listing for clubs & organizations) that reads something like this: The Romeo Club (Retired Old Men Eating ...Out) is looking for new members. We meet at (state time) a.m./p. m. every (state day of week/month) at the selected location. Come join in the fun. Call for location or more information, your name and phone number. Next contact the location to set up the meeting where you can meet at, that will give the group separate checks and the rest will happen on its own. Once the group is established, send us your information and pictures so we can publish the clubs web page.

uh yeah......its gay.

My 72 year old father-in-law goes to his local coffee shop every morning, EVERY morning, and hang's out with his buddies, young and old, WWII vets, Vietnam Vets, an insurance guy, farmers, retired 9 to 5er's and other's in the community and enjoy a cup o' joe. You wouldn't catch them calling themselves ROMEO'S or The Breakfast Club or any other gay name. In fact, you would probably hear them making fun of such groups that feel the need to label themselves with some stupid acronym. Just my opinion.

Maybe they should wear red hat's so that everyone will know who they are.

I have to go now, I have to make my reservations at Denny's.

I have found, over the years, "gay" does not rub off, and they spend the same money I do .... problem solved. (I might even get a free meal outta the deal.)

I think some folks are distressed because they are not "attractive" enough to be a draw for the gay men among us ....

And I happen to be one of those that attract no attention ... guess I'll just have to stick with women, and that's ok by me! :cool:

Oh, btw, if they are meeting at Denny's I ain't going! And that has more to do with the venue, than the customers! (You only end up at Denny's at 2am, when the bar closes, OR you are stuck at a Flying J.)

Did you take my "gay" comment literally, as in homosexual gay?

A new, pejorative use became prevalent in some parts of the world. In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger speakers, has a derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid (as in "That's so gay."). In this use, the word does not mean "homosexual", so it can be used, for example, to refer to an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves. This usage can also refer to weakness or unmanliness. When used in this way, the extent to which it still retains connotations of homosexuality has been debated.

It doesn't matter whether it's literal or euphemistic, it's still offensive. Deeply.


People in the public eye who say such things end up having to apologize on TV, take sensitivity training classes held at the local college football shower room (bring your own soap, I mean it, bring your own!), and then perform 20 hours of career-saving PR community service at the GLBT Retirement Home while wearing a pink Oxford button-down and a bright fuchsia bow tie. Is that what you want? It is?

This thread took a wrong turn somewhere. Gay talk and a turtle getting knocked up at 7am. Interesting!
