And then there's Denny's. It truly is the black hole of suburbia. For those of you don't know what a Denny's is, it's a restaraunt chain across the USA that will suck you in, and spit you out. It's kind of like Perkins (if you don't know what Perkins is, you're lucky). The food is cheap, greasy, and slimy. And if you're between the ages of 13-24 they ALWAYS sit you in the BACK of the place.
Imagine this:
You're driving around with your friends one night, and you're bored as hell. You're on the Elgin O'Hare (which doesn't go to either Elgin or O'Hare) and you're heading westbound, into Hangover Park. You turn off of it, hang a sharp left onto Lake Street. Your car then suddenly shifts into high gear, your spedometer reaches speeds in access of 80 mph, you run the red light @ Lake St. & Greenbrook blvd, head past the sod farms, and hang a sharp right into the Denny's Parking lot. If you don't hit any cars in the parking lot you're lucky. Some of us aren't so fortunate (and those cars weren't moving...................).
Your car shuts off, your doors fly open and the Denny's Employees rush out of the place and grab ahold of you. You kick and scream the whole way, flaying your arms and legs in a psychotic fashion, trying desperately to escape. But then they bring you inside, wearing their awful green Denny's shirts. They hand everyone a menu and slam you into the back of the dining room away from the other prisoners.
You look across the way and notice that other members of your age group are locked in the booths of death as well, Regardless of what time it is...because Denny's never cloeses...and the Black Hole never sleeps.
