Shoney's Showdown

I'd like to offer a congratulations to all Shoney's restaurants for their innovative interior design techniques. More specifically, to the genius that came up with the low hanging lights. You know, the ones that blindside you out of nowhere. The ones you have to spend your time dodging and ducking while trying to make it safely to your table.

Pictured here, my brother-in-law actually did manage to clobber his head 4 times in just under 40 minutes on these lights. While this photo only captures the pre-bashing fiasco, trust me - it was good. (I'm actually surprised he made it through the meal without a concussion.)

Having recently eaten breakfast here, I can only deduce that this is some sick kind of game. Perhaps the employees are secretly laughing in the back. I can see them placing the bets now. While these silly games could be fun (at least if you've had a couple mimosas to start), I would wager this restaurant has successfully managed to injure droves of customers with this witty idea of interior design.

Go home Shoney's. Go home.
