Bubba Gumps

If its good for you then that's fine. For your decision making, whether I think it is a smart choice is irrelevant.

But just because you ate there doesn't mean I personally find eating there any less retarded (at places where there are easily available equal or superior alternatives; if you want seafood in Cameron, Missouri, a Bubba Gump's or Red Lobster is probably the best you're going to get and the decision is no longer so retarded). Otherwise intelligent people do individual things I think stupid all of the time.

Oh, and there are reasons that make what would otherwise be a stupid decision into a good one for that moment in time.

I just don't think that these would account for the big crowds waiting for a seat at Monterey's Bubba Gumps. Or waiting 3 hours for a table at the Union Square Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco. But I'm sure it accounts for some of them; the rest are engaging what I see as poor decision making.
