4. By the DOZEN, my SO drives 100 miles to her 85 year old aunt
just to be able to buy White Castles fresh from the "old corner"

5. I love the frozen ones.
Alas, the nearest White Castle is a 2-1/2 hour drive from here. :(

7. NO, they are nasty, nasty, nasty. They smell like dog food.
They taste like what dog food and cereal must be like. But there are folks in my family who think they are great. They have been known to bring them to parties.

17. Slow and Low
Slow And Low
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

It's never old school all brand new
So everybody catch the bugaloo flu
Not like a fever not like a cold
But the beats are clear the rhymes are bold
So don't see a doctor or see a nurse
Just listen to the music first things first
First of all get off the wall
It's time to party so have a ball
We slowed it on down so get the hell up
Like a volcano I'll erupt
We got determination bass and highs
White Castle fries only come in one size
What you see is what you get
And you ain't seen nothing yet

So let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

I do not sing but I make a Def song
You could live your whole life - and I hope you live long
On the Gong Show we won't get gonged
We're the Beastie Boys not Cheech and Chong
Strong as an ox fresh out the box
The crowd is so live they're coming in flocks
And when we go on the crowd goes off
It's all hard rock there's nothing soft

Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

COD
So Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
And Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

We don't only rock the house but we'll house we rock
We don't stroll but we roll straight to the top
MCA Adrock Mike D. makes three
And we can do it like this in the place to be
When I'm recorded you'll be rewarded
I know my song is Def 'cause you all applauded
Not PCP or LSD just me Mike D. in the place to be
This is not free you must pay a fee
Cash on delivery like a COD

So Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

The beat is slow in order to dance
I wanna' hear I do's and no I can't
First you move your legs and then your arms
It's not fast and nervous this dance is calm
It's truly stable and you ought to be able
To dance to the record when it's on the turntable

So Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

White Castle and Taco Bell provide the best 3 AM drunk food ever.

They toast their buns. MMMM. Tastes like a burger I would have in my back yard. Not soggy.

15. To Me, They're Not Horrible
but they rank near the bottom of my burger hierarchy. It'd have to be a dire emergency to get me into a White Castle.

16. Krystals here in Alabama...
I think they are identical, except that Krystals have a small shot of mustard along with the grilled onions and pickle...

Do sliders have a pickle?

20. Sliders do indeed have a pickle.
They're also greasier than Krystal burgers. Depending on your taste, that's either a good or a bad thing. (GOOD THING!)

23. At WC, you have to say specifically
"I'll have 3 (5,10,20) cheeseburgers WITH EVERYTHING ON THEM" otherwise you just get a plain old dry burger. Onions, pickle, ketchup and mustard (I have experienced it where the ketchup and mustard have been mixed together into a brown paste. That is gross.)

21. Nostalgia food for me; Mr. Pcat loves 'em.
They are one of the few childhood foods that we didn't have an argument in their restaurant over (I still get queasy at the sight of a Filet o'Fish, so avoiding McD's has not been painful for me) so I don't mind them. The fact that they're less greasy than a lot of other burgers doesn't hurt.

When I came back from Indiana, however, I brought Mr. Pcat a dozen of them, frozen in Indiana, and kept cold with ice packs in my luggage. I got home yesterday about 10; they were all gone by 5 pm. (Not that they would have kept, anyway.)

The closest one to us is in KCMO, so they're not a normal part of our diet.

25. Bleccchhhh.....
Not any more. Used to be great for the weekly grease run, but they went downhill, too. No real taste any more, the most expensive of the chains, and they started using plastic pickles.

And they make them right in front of you, so you see the dirty deed as it's happening. That ketchup squirter, I don't know, there's just something about it...

The fish thing is still OK, but pricey for what you get. Last time I was in one, I saw they brought the fried clams back. If they're the same as when I was a kid, only eat them when you're constipated.

27. Ultimate Stoner food, man.
The first time I tried one- it was a cold hamburger. I despised it, I tossed it back on my plate, and declared that shiny bread is not natural.

One night a few months later, we were stoned, it was past midnight, and only two places were open- we opted for White Castle because it is so much cheaper.

I fell in love. :loveya:


:hippie:

43. I prefer Krystal, but would be happy if White Castle moved
in over on South Hulen.

There is one Krystal in Texas, I think near Ft Hood


The next closest one is probably in Arkansas. There is a sign right before you get to the exit that says last chance for Krystals!!!


now I am craving little square buns with burgers and onions
