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.

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.

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.)

Now, now. You're aren't retarded. But the act was (if you're saying you ate at the Bubba Gump's on Cannery Row).

But then people frequently do retarded things because of their children. See also: Spending $3,000 for Hannah Montana tickets.

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.

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

Oh, you were talking about the restaurant? Um, yeah, that's good too.

Unaccustomerd as I am to putting in my 2c...

Kevy, correct response from new member would have been, "Sorry, just wanted to help, didn't mean to sound pushy or spammy."

Your post didn't even use the word spam. Don't let it get to you. I love you. Mwah.

NOW: about Bubba Gumps. We went to the one in Fishermans wharf and we enjoyed their popcorn shrimp very much. We thought the "Stop Forrest, Stop" sign to flag down the staff was priceless (and I hadn't even seen the movie then). Of course, I had to watch it when we got back to Australia.

Similarly, we also enjoyed Joe's Crab Shack. Maybe we ARE just too touristy for our own good (I still have the crab-cracker tool from our Dungeness Crab.)

LOL No kidding! Well, we all got into saying that and I am sure the kids hated it in public....

Oh, Alex, you are a bonafide curmudgeon.

You never disappoint in that sense.

And, I'd never pay that much for any tickets...not even to see Chris Cornell. I would pay a heck of a lot to see Cornell, but not that much. And, if it were going to charity.
