It seemed like a good idea at the time....

So when I was out to lunch (literally, not figuratively) with friends last week, we got on the topic of the "All-You-Can-Eat" buffet. I pointed out that in truth, they are "All-You-Can-Eat-Right-Now" buffets, and that if you tried to sit there for too long, I'm certain that some big burly doormen would ask you to kindly stop eating and leave. Which brings me to my latest venture, the TRUE "All-You-Can-Eat" club. You would pay a set amount for a monthly or yearly membership and by showing your card, you could eat whenever you want.

Now normally, when I present one of my little "get-rich-quick" schemes to people, they simply chuckle and back away slowly, not breaking eye contact so as to make their escape. Not so this time. My dear demented friends helped with planning, marketing and development ideas, such as "Do you have customers sign up for dining times and do you charge more for premium times. Do you have a breakfast, lunch or dinner plan as well as the 'Mother Load' meal plan? What if you had 'theme' nights with an international flair?" The conversation became heated and twisted.

God, I LOVE my friends.
