Well regardless of the spam-level of the first post (I vaguely know the name judimouse so knew it wasn't a cold spammer but also figured others would deal with it if dealings were appropriate), I'd just like to reiterate:

Eating at a chain seafood restaurant based on a fictional dimbus while in Monterey is retarded. In the clinical sense of the word. Approximately as retarded as eating at the Joe's Crab Shack at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

Eating at those same restaurants in the DLR resort area is less retarded but I still don't see why one would go out of their way to do so.

And I think CP is just trying to kiss up to the mods so that she can bask in teh reflected glow of their awesome cliquish power.

It is awesome isn't it?
:cool:

To be fair, Judimouse posted a total of 2 times on this board and BOTH were threads she started for the sole purpose of linking to her site. I know Judimouse and wasn't very happy with the actions, but I was going to give it some time before I did anything about it (if anything needed to be done). If Judimouse would like to participate in this community on more levels than just advertising her web site, than she is more than welcome. Otherwise, I think I might be inclined to treat her posts as spam. But, that's just my take in it from an initial standpoint. And that's why I was going to give it time. We don't live in a bubble here and most of us participate a variety of message boards and certainly get our Disney-related information elsewhere. LoT is not primarily a Disney board and we don't really want to be. I'm sure Judimouse can see why there was some confusion and concern.

Why did I read this thread? I hate shrimp!


One chain I do like is BJ's. Good menu, good pizza, and good beer.

While I know and love your cynical side, I have to say I take offense to this review of people who eat at Bubba Gumps.

I didn't go out of my way to eat there, but, it was fitting for us at the time.

We are pretty open minded and enjoy doing things like that as a family.

We also do things like visit museums, etc., but, learning comes in many ways.

Of course, mighty Guru.

Indeed. The endless double entendres are fun as well.

While it may not take a rocket scientist to realize that a chain might not be the best way to take in local seafood, it also may not take retardation to eat at the chain. (I do not like chains, though not rabidly so.)

Just so everyone knows my stand on this intire mess I am posting what I sent to Kevin.

Ok, I have had enough of your site. The spammer bit was the topper. I guess trying to help people makes me a spammer of which I AM NOT.

Removed both of my posts regarding restaurants and I will be sure to tell my friends how I was treated on this web site.

Last time I try to help anyone plan a trip from your website. I have also removed your link from my website.

That is true about it not being the best way to sample the local fresh seafood {we normally do dine at a restaurant on the wharf, but, we decided to treat the Boy to some not so 'fresh' looking seafood, and keep the theme of Forrest coming along with us}.

As a rule, we do not prefer chain restaurants. Hard Rock being an exception as I love to enjoy the music while I dine. Usually we dine at chains when we have no alternatives.

But, I still say we enjoyed it and I did buy a smiley face pin that says 'Stupid is as Stupid does' and I wear it proudly!!! :D

I love BJ's! We've been going there after football games this season. I love the onion strings and a nice hard cider:)
