Pssst! Got a sec to chat?

We are utterly thrilled when readers want to hang out and talk – whether it's amongst themselves or in response to pieces we've posted. We want Eatocracy to be a cozy, spirited online home for those who find their way here.

Consider the daily Coffee Klatsch post as your VIP lounge – the primary comments thread for readers who'd like to chat about topics not related to the articles we're running. That way, everyone knows where to find each other, and each post's comments section remains on topic.

  1. Truth™@Queen, All

    Ok all, I am off. Getting eval'd on O2 admin tonight. I keep forgetting to hit the valve with a sledghammer hard to clear it...:)

    Talk to y'all tomorrow!

    February 8, 2012 at 5:58 pm |
    • The Witty One™@Truth

      Later! Good luck with the O2. If you need a test subject, I am totally in.

    The actions of some people boggle my mind.

      It was really only that one time... and I apologized to the nun afterwards.

    Howdee Ho! BEEEE-YOU-TEE-FUL morning here after our gloomy, rainy day yesterday! I'm annoyingly cheerful!

    February 8, 2012 at 1:53 pm |
    • AleeD®@MicG™

      Is it even possible to be annoyingly cheerful? Usually it's just annoying to those who aren't cheerful. And you know what I say to them?

        Aawwww, man!....I was expecting a real zinger!

      • AleeD®@MicG

        Not this time. I'm having something like an ACM's today also.
        Over the last couple of weeks, I've been going back & forth with my sister over issues she believes I have – when I don't. If I take her at her word, today was the last of it – and I'm so happy with how I handled it. She's a bully-c u m-quasi-Buddhist and believes the rest of her family should follow suit because it's a path that's working for her. (insert borrowed Evil Grin here).

        February 8, 2012 at 2:32 pm |
      • RichardHead@AleeD

        Just go Kick her Azz. Do a Ninja job on her. You will feel better and bring Karma back into your Universe. :))

        February 8, 2012 at 2:45 pm |
      • AleeD®@RichardHead

        Thanks Bro. I did better than kick her azz, I didn't let her bother me. That hurts her more than anything else.

    Who says there is no good news these days?
    Dunkin Donuts announced the opening of 11 Denver area stores today!

    Absonutely fan-fracking tastic!

    February 8, 2012 at 12:47 pm |
    • AleeD®@Truth™

      Are you going to splurge on one of their Chocolate Heart donuts to celebrate VDay?

    I think Kat and SLT are asking for trouble on the I love meat thread. The mod bots are about to get a workout.

      I think I'll go over and get it started...hehe

    • DJChilllyPhil, Jukebox King & Cold Stone God@TX4UREX

      Camper? We talking some sort of RV or something like that?

    • Sir Biddle@TX

      Use http://tinypic.com

      Its an easy way to post images

      February 8, 2012 at 12:37 pm |
      • TX4UREXKARLENE

        Will it be public ?

        February 8, 2012 at 12:53 pm |
      • TX4UREXKARLENE

        I can't see anything every video all the time it's a Black square :( I'm on my 3 g iPhone .

        February 8, 2012 at 12:55 pm |
      • Sir Biddle@TX

        tinypic just allows you to take a jpg image and turn it into a temporary weblink to share with others instead of e-mailing it as a file attachment. It is public in the sence it will be posted on the internet and figure once you do that, there is no getting it back.

    Good morning Klatschers!

    Experiencing a gloomy foggy morning down here. Heard a chopper that was flying around early in the morning had to make an emergency landing because of the fog!

  15. Queen of Everything™

    I'm back! What did I miss?

    February 8, 2012 at 9:00 am |
    • Sir Biddle@Queen

      I had an odd dream my wife and I visited you and your husband and you lived in Lousiana. You didn't know I was Biddle from the Klatch, but I knew you were the Queen. You had a nice house too.

      February 8, 2012 at 9:05 am |
      • Queen of Everything™@Sir B

        Everyone kept their clothes on, correct? Did I have an accent? I've always wanted a Southern accent.

        February 8, 2012 at 9:13 am |
      • Sir Biddle@Queen

        All clothes on, no swinger party or anything – that would be an AleeD dream. Can't remember if you had an accent, but I remember your house was nice and you lived on a lot of rolling hills land.

        February 8, 2012 at 9:39 am |
      • Queen of Everything™@Sir B

        I'm glad I kept my clothes on. I'd hate to think that the dream version of me would run around naked in front of strangers. I hope you and Mrs. Biddle had a nice visit with the royal family.

        February 8, 2012 at 9:49 am |

      Backboarding sux.
      That is all.

      February 8, 2012 at 9:08 am |

        Yes it does, my friend.

    Good morning all. Who invited the two new guys up top?
    And what's with the leprachaun look?

    February 8, 2012 at 8:46 am |
  17. Sir Biddle

    Morning Crew!

    I see Truth and RH made the photo banner above. Good on ya both!

    February 8, 2012 at 8:43 am |
    • The Witty One™@Sir B

      I was going to go with Jerv and his pops since I don't picture Rich that old!

      February 8, 2012 at 8:46 am |
    • Sir Biddle@TWO

      Actually thats even better as I don't picture RH that old either.

      February 8, 2012 at 9:00 am |
    • Truth™@Biddle, TWO

      Nah, Rich is more the Michael McDonald type. Also has way more hair.

      February 8, 2012 at 10:21 am |
      • Sir Biddle@TWO

        HA, thats funny as I picture him as Sam Elliot and Michael McDondald is not far from that. Just a Doobie or two.

        February 8, 2012 at 10:26 am |
      • AleeD®

        ~_~ Those are two of my favorite "real man" celebrities. Hmmm ....

        But I can't. Rich is way too much of a Big Brudder for me to think of him that way. ^_^

        February 8, 2012 at 10:44 am |
      • Truth™@Biddle, TWO, AleeD

        I concur as the the big brudda comparison. The sort of big bro who teaches you how to tie a fly, who sneaks you the ocasional beer, or who threatens to beat the snot out of any bullies who bother you. One of the most sincere and caring people I've had the priviledge of knowing.

        February 8, 2012 at 10:56 am |
      • Queen of Everything™@Truth

        Don't you zip a fly?

        February 8, 2012 at 11:21 am |
      • TX4UREXKARLENE

        So all you guys are really good looking :-))) ?

        February 8, 2012 at 12:34 pm |

        We posted pics on here some time ago. Maybe we need to do again...

      • The Witty One™@Truth, Sir B, Jerv, Rich, Jdizz, DJCP

        Do I sense a "Men of Eatocracy" calendar in the works?

        February 8, 2012 at 2:13 pm |
      • MicheleG™

        ooooo! oooooo! I'll buy! I'll buy!

        February 8, 2012 at 2:22 pm |
      • AleeD®@TWO™, Truth, Sir B, Jerv, Rich, Jdizz, DJCP

        Would they look like this?

        February 8, 2012 at 2:27 pm |
      • Sir Biddle@AleeD, TWO

        I think more along the lines of the Red Hot Chili Pepers "Fight Like a Brave" single.

        February 8, 2012 at 2:39 pm |
      • RichardHead@ALL

        So I leave for just a little bit to converse with the Queen who is Highly contagious with Kid Cooties,trying to keep WD from attacking the Dock Workers,and Doing the Best job of creative log book lying that would surpass Night Train, LA Turn Around and Ghost Rider all at the same time. @TX4U–Yes,We are the most Handsome from the Great States of Colorado,West VA,Washington,DC and Texas. No Doubt about it. Noooooo, I am NOT that old as Baldy in the picture and Truth hit the nail on the Head...except for the Fly part. Wranglers with Zippers. WD is the oldest person in the room.
        At SirB, The Queen was Flashing every truck that went by in NOLA. Don't let her Fool you. If You all want an exceptional Valentines Dinner, May I suggest The Waffle House....They will have some restaurants set up with White Table Cloths, mood music and a special menu for you and your Honey.Check out their website for a place near you.
        WD and I are outta here....Be Safe and Warm Everyone. :))

        February 8, 2012 at 2:40 pm |
      • Queen of Everything™@TWO, Biddle, Truth

        You could pose with eatocracy aprons and cutting boards!

        February 8, 2012 at 2:42 pm |
      • The Witty One™@various klatschers

        @QOE – Only if Kat and SLT give up the goods! I am working with them to review the budget for next year to see if we can get them as give aways.

        @AleeD – Close....very close.

        @Rich – Drive safe!

        @Michele – Yours is free silly.

        February 8, 2012 at 2:46 pm |
      • AleeD®Sir Boundless

        The Village People reference was only partly a joke – a couple of them in the video ARE built rather nicely. RHCP? Would you mind posting the video so I know for sure what you're describing. I can watch it at Home Sweet Home.

        When's the Eatocracy Men calendar photo shoot? I have oils to share.

        Drive safely Rich!

        February 8, 2012 at 2:55 pm |
      • Sir Biddle@Briefly Blonde AleeD

        No video reference, just do a google image search for "Fight Like a Brave". Its safe for work, don't worry.

        February 8, 2012 at 3:01 pm |
      • AleeD®@Sir Biddle

        O.I.C. Lovely images indeed.
        Yes, it IS time to get the roots done again.

      shhhh don't say the "s" word...it makes people panic and stuff

      February 8, 2012 at 10:36 am |

    Good Morning All...Coffee is ready. WD and I are waiting on the roach coach for some Breakfast Burrito's and large Buttery Biscuits. Let's make it a Great Humpity Weds.

    February 8, 2012 at 7:46 am |
  20. AleeD®

    Good morning Happy Klatschers! Hope everyone has a (Kripke-style) Wip Woawin' Wednesday. After reading the last two threads, I think I've consumed more salt than my BP can stand. After coffee and if we can keep Jerv reined in, lots of H2O for me today.
