24 Hour Food Sources
We all get hungry. Some of us get hungry when the rest of the world is
peacefully at rest, asleep in their beds. THE BASTARDS! So what do we do? Well,
sometimes, we cook for ourselves. Cooking is usually bad when you've had no
sleep for a certain amount of time. Granted, driving at these times is usually
dangerous too, but perhaps less so. No one is on the street, and you're not
going to accidently burn your house down because your attention span has
dropped.
And a lot of the time, honestly, you're out already, trying to amuse yourself,
so why bother going home? Here are a few 24 hour eateries, I'm not sure which
other places have, and which of those may or may not be 24 hour where you are.
IHOP-
Where else can you get breakfast at 3 am? Or lunch, or dinner.... The food is
alright, not much can be expected from a tired staff. But the waitresses are
always pretty nice, relaxed, and greatful for any amusement you may bring into
their lives. They usually don't get mad in IHOP for games and mischeif.
Games: 1. spin the bottle. You must kiss >whatever< the bottle lands on. 2.
Sugar lines. See how fast you can cut your name out of a pile of sugar. 3. The
mystery food. Combine the things from all of your plates, the condements, and
some random things, and see if you can get someone to eat it (or drink it) 4.
Take rubber gloves with you, see if you can get them over your head. 5. Scare
other patrons. (make this up as you go)
Warning- Really nothing here.
Hints- They too have an intercom....
They don't care if you play in the parking lot as long as you don't fuck
with cars.
Dennys-
Shudder. How many late nights have I spent in this place? Countless. A popular
place to hit after clubs. The food is bad. Especially really late at night. The
staff usually has 12-24 hour shifts, so they are REAL cranky. You can't expect
them to have the foods you want. You can't expect them to care. If they
recognize you from any past happenings, they stick you in the back.
Games: See how many tables you can fit together, and how many people you can
cram into those tables. 2. Silverware sculptures. 3. Light shit on fire (small
stuff, in ashtrays.) 4. Make syrup balls and see how long you can make a fork
stand in it. (syrup ball- little amount of syrup and LOTS of sugar, stirr till
thick, and you think it might eat the fork)
Warning- Low tolerence.
Hints- They don't take kindly to you trying to steal their plants.
Subway-
Perhaps one of the last late night fast food joints you can go sit in. The
staff here are usually stoned, so you can confuse them and get free stuff. This
is a good spot to see some of the weirder creatures of the night. The food is
good, and you can watch them make it, so you don't have to worry about them
trying to entertain themselves at your expense.
Games: 1. See if you can't take in a cup from another food joint and fill it
up. 2. See how badly you can confuse the people makeing your sandwhich. 3. Go in
and order ALL the cookies. 4. Speak quietly. 5. Talk to the person in front of
you, see if you can't throw them off.
Warning- They don't let you sit for very long.
Hints- Keep them amused.
Whattaburger-
Eh. Expensive. Not a lot of food. It's decent, but you have to really be
desperate and have extra cash. The selection is lacking, and they run out of
meat a lot in the early mornings. Not a sit down place.
Games: 1. Go through the drive through backward. 2. Mimick the guy at the
ordering station.
Jack In the Box-
Bad food. Bad service. Desperation is at an all time high. You're starving, and
if you go any further you're going to pass out. THEN you eat here.
Games: just get your food and get out quickly.
Warning- Bordome comes easily. Check your food before you eat it.
They close whenever they feel like it, so you may be strapped to find
an open location.
Hints- Try to stay away from here.
Betos-
Now I don't know if the rest of the country has these. The food here is laced
with crack. You crave it even right after you've eaten it. It's made of animal,
more than likely. Cat, dog, pigeon, rat. Who knows. It's not really the best
place in the world to eat, but you feel compelled sometimes. Once you're off of
it for over two months, however, the craving subsides and you can return to a
normal life. Nothing better than mexican food at 4 in the morning
to piss off your stomach. Occasionally you can find a sit down location, so
that's nice.
Games: your order is at jeopardy of not being what you want in the first place,
games are not suggested here.
Warning- Must have an iron stomach to eat this at night hours.
Hints- Say a prayer before you eat.
Hints for every place-
Don't burn any bridges. Don't do anything illegal. You want to be able to
return, at least after time has gone by. You can't do that with a trespassing
statement.
Get to know your servers at the sit-down places. This is a good way to get free
shit. Be friendly with them, and they'll hook it up.
