I have important breaking news.
My brother had lunch at the Pizzeria Seven Twelve today. That’s not the news.
If you’ll recall, I, too, have eaten at this delicious establishment. It’s awesome. But that’s not the news either.
At the Seven Twelve (that’s how we regulars refer to it), they are very accommodating in the restrooms, catering to groups.
Well, they’ve upgraded their accommodations.
I wonder if you can order in there? Rob? Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to order food from that table.

Seriously……what the?
January 19, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I’ll order from there, but as delicious as the food is (and it IS absolutely delicious), I couldn’t afford the bribe to my buddies to actually EAT there.
Maybe if we all pooled our resources?
January 19, 2010 at 3:33 pm
whatever, if they’ll deliver in there, I’LL eat in there. fire it up.
January 19, 2010 at 3:34 pm
oh, don’t get me wrong. I said nothing about ME having issues with it. I’d even pay extra.
January 19, 2010 at 4:57 pm
OK, who has dug’s password now? Because this aint dug. Unless dug was lying when he said the very idea of eating in the bathroom disgusted him.
January 19, 2010 at 5:39 pm
good point!
January 19, 2010 at 3:36 pm
I can not believe this. Perhaps they should provide a pack of cards, or a board game while you wait?
January 19, 2010 at 3:38 pm
ooohh, one of those little peg games like they have in cracker barrel.
January 19, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Please find out which employee had that brilliant idea and invite them to dinner or challenge them to a friendly game of cards. In the bathroom.

I’m requesting that table next time. In fact, I’m wondering what it would take to get lifetime rights to it.
January 19, 2010 at 3:42 pm
i like it. a seat license, like in the nfl.
January 19, 2010 at 6:01 pm
maybe taking a laxative prior to going each time would be the equivalent to a seat license?
I know that I wouldn’t fight you for it under those conditions. Hell, even if I were already seated, I’d give up my “squatter rights” (hehe, pun fully intended).

I guess maybe they are just using that stall for storage? Great. Now I’m going to be in a meeting tonight at church and all I’ll be able to think about is why a restaurant would put a table and chairs in a bathroom stall.
January 20, 2010 at 10:25 am
So next time they bring out a table and chairs to make room for your extra people at your table are you thinking “that table was just in the bathroom”?? One word – ewww.
January 19, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Awesome.
Can you imagine walking into this bathroom and seeing two people (2 guys, a couple?, 2 girls!) nonchalantly eating diner?
dug, I’m throwing down: I’ll buy dinner if you eat at that bathroom table, if you don’t go through with it dinner is on you.
January 19, 2010 at 5:38 pm
this must be such a fine establishment that those who create too much odor or noise are sent to the nether regions to eat. and they feel privelaged enough to eat there that they do so willingly.
did you not have any willing models to show how this occurs?
January 19, 2010 at 6:05 pm
I had models. In fact, I think I coulda convinced the server to oblige us with taking the picture (I considered having her “sit in” (lol, I’m on a total pun roll today) on the picture, but figured that’d be a conflict of interest).
Problem was that I was too satiated by the end of the meal to do more then giggle about how long it would take Dug to post this once I actually sent him the picture.
January 19, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Oh. You are so very funny. Very, very funny.
January 19, 2010 at 11:39 pm
Please promise me if you eat dinner in there with Kim and another guest, that you will use a toilet seat cover.
January 20, 2010 at 12:24 am
Makes you wonder if they periodically rotate the tables in and out of the bathroom, you know, so they all wear at the same rate?
January 20, 2010 at 9:28 am
This is a total mind f*ck.
January 20, 2010 at 11:17 am
One nice aspect of getting this table is that you’ll never have to ask for a refill on your water….
WHAT? If it’s good enough for Rover…
January 20, 2010 at 11:19 am
Sorry for the double-post, but I just notice someone loaded the TP backwards. I hope you fixed that!
January 20, 2010 at 12:41 pm
actually, in that position, the paper is seperated from the roll and ready to go. the other way, you have to spin it like you’re on wheel of fortune trying not to get the bankrupt spot just to get it started.
January 20, 2010 at 12:33 pm
I really, really wish you’d ask the restaurant why. Just to see what the answer is.
January 20, 2010 at 12:46 pm
lol, not to ruin a great story with the truth, but I did ask the server “so, who’s the one with the sense of humor in regards to the bathroom?”
She stared at me very blankly until I mentioned the table and she busted out laughing. Her response? “Oh, I supposed that might look a little odd…” Ya think?
In any case, she explained that space is a premium, but made sure to re-assure me that they bleach them every time they bring them out for a busy night.
Uh huh. When was the last time you cared enough about your boss’s business that you “bleached” something when you were frantically busy?
January 20, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Eeww. This puts gross thoughts in my head about the state of the table and chairs. This also reminds me that you should not eat out of a bowl of peanuts at a bar.
February 20, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Rob, have you been back since she told you that?
January 22, 2010 at 10:29 am
This puts a new spin on the “Go to” place. Maybe it’s there to handle the “overflow”
