Uh, wait a second.

That doesn't put White Castle out of business.  It means that White Castle will no longer be providing insurance to its employees.  Thus ensuring that said employees will have to join government "healthcare". 

Wasn't that the POINT of ObamaCare?

Sweetie, I get my fresh meat sent straight to the white house. You little people can all eat McBurger King for all I care.

Out-of-towners call them Sliders. Ohioans call them White Castles.

Don't be a non-native douche.

Oh, but read the article. Companies who have employees sign on to government-provided healthcare get socked with a $2,000 annual fee. So either way, White Castle (and many, many other employers) are screwed.

Starting that year, the bill levies a $3,000-per-employee penalty on companies whose workers pay more than 9.5 percent of household income in premiums for company-provided insurance.

They either drop healthcare for everyone, or pay more of the premium to get under that 9.5% mark.

As in, "I'm gonna get a couple bags of White Castles and some Chicken Rings".

Like that.

The problem with White Castles is finding a big enough syringe,

My name is Herr Morgenholz, and I have a problem.

Chicken rings?

Oh God please no.

I will trade some In-N-Out for an equal amount of White Castle love.

Any morons out there with ready access to liquid nitrogen?

I never got into the Breaded Assholes.  I always get the Onion Chips.

You're missing out. Chicken. Rings. It's so unnatural, it's good.

Onion Chips are the shit, especially with that wierd horseradish/Thousand Island sauce.

Da fuck?? Da fuck?? Nah, baby nah..

.......OK now this shit has gone too far

Don't give no damn about Krakka Kastle.

But Krystals is staying open, right?

We have them out here, I'll have to try them out.

and some Little Kings equals "Get on the couch you stinky bastard."

Little King's shorties? Damn, you are an Ohioan.

White Castles washed down with Little Kings Cream Ale..

...fucking Breakfast of Champions, it was

Messin' with fries, onion chips, or chicken rings was teh ghey, though

Especially if your sister is like totally hot. That would be like way better than a tie.

*Ahem*

...can you blame me?

.

Obama hates White Castle. Cuz the name is RAAAAACIIIIIST, and they don't serve arugula.

So, she's out of solitary?

Not that one..our other Mommy

I grew up thinking everyone thought ties were totally awesome. Oh to have my youth back.

Shit, Angelina is hot. I always thought it would be great to be a plastic surgeon. You could marry the homely wonderful chick with the great personality, and slice and dice her up in God's image.

What can I say, I'm visual. And a winter.

I  never acquired the White Castle habit, being from the Other Ohio, the land of White Hut and White Tower.  But they have them in Michigan, where they are universally known as Gut Bombs.

I'm seeing a pattern here. Small oil companies will no longer be able to drill off-shore: they just don't have the capital. Burger joints won't be able to afford cradle/grave health coverage, the cost of doing business: they were bad for you anyway. You can stay in the coal business, but you'll go bankrupt. Looks like we sold them the rope we're hanging by. And we made good rope here.

"Obama hates White Castle. Cuz the name is RAAAAACIIIIIST"

I used to have a KTM motorcycle what had White Power suspension components. That probably woulda made Odumbass declare war on Austria. 

That probably woulda made Odumbass declare war on Austria. 

Well, first he would need to get some interpreters in the military that speak Austrian, since that's the language of the land, according to Odumbo.

Ya know the one thing that  was really fucked up about White Castle, though??

They're called Sliders for a reason    IYKWIMAITTYD..

...and they had pay toilets

I have to admit..it was a fucking genius business model..they'd get you coming and going

They're called Sliders for a reason    IYKWIMAITTYD..

Oh hell no.

Dude, don't make me smack you.

For all you non-SW Ohioans..just so you know....

...we have three ways, four ways...and even five ways all the time

..and we're not ashamed of it

Ah, but White Castle serves those EVIL Burgers... made of some type of animal protein.

Thus closing them is a good thing.

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The last sentance is the key.  Kind of how I have been feeling these last few years.  Is it time?

"Anyone ever try frozen Whitecastles?"

They're the only kind I've had, we don't have the resaurants here in the Colorado wilderness. So I can't really say how they compare.

Well, if some guy that goes by Masturbatin' Pete from New Jersey trashes my favorite burger, I call it a good day.

What say you, Masturbatin' Pete?

I met a small business owner -- 5 stores -- who said he will have to close three of them at the end of the year. Their marginal profitability will become UNprofitability when the Obamacare mandates hit.

We are just beginning this depression.

What say you, Masturbatin' Pete?

He musta accidentally got some of his "special sauce" on it

I think that was a quote from dirtbag Conrad Dobler.  Pete Rozelle missed an excellent opportunity to call Conrad into his office and say "Look fuckface; the next time we need one of your witty opinions on how we do bidness in the enneffell you'll be finding out how it feels to anally rape your sister at gunpoint.  Multiple times.  Got the message, funny boy?"

Sports commissioners are never as kickass as they should be.  And they've only gotten douchier in the NFL since Rozelle.

Regarding death care, there's no way the jugeared fuck doesn't veto any repeal and I doubt that a veto proof majority will be available (although they might be able to drag a few donk fuckheads whose terms are up in 2012 over if this November is enough of a bloodbath and the real unemployment is still double digits) so they'll probably have to zero out the funding for the POS and let it die without ever getting underway.

Dammit, if I'm going to be interrupted by Masturbatin' Pete, I better get a fucking T-shirt.

88,

The fries look pretty good.

 I can't even look at a picture of this stuff without wanting to throw up.

Thanks for playing, Nancy. We'll be sure to peel some artichokes for you.

That goddamned Obama is going to put me out of business too.

You're telling me.  I am so voting Republican.

  I can't even look at a picture of this stuff without wanting to throw up.

When you're wearing you beer goggles, they look like this

You are...like...soooo gay

The only thing I hate more than ObamaCare is White Castle.

So needless to say I'm really torn over this.

Oh, but read the article. Companies who have employees sign on to government-provided healthcare get socked with a $2,000 annual fee. So either way, White Castle (and many, many other employers) are screwed.

It figures someone who has never met a payroll thinks small business has all this money to get it done. 

Companies that do get by will do so by reducing the workforce.

The only thing I hate more than ObamaCare is White Castle.

So don't go..

...at least they're not trying to destroy the country

99,

I understand. White Castle feeds you crap, and Obama gives you a ration of shit. What a dilemma!

^{*at least WC is a free market gig*}

So don't go..

And apparently sarcasm is completely lost on you.

Sock off!

Posted by: rdbrewer at July 04, 2010 11:54 PM

They're not a small business. All domestic outlets are company-owned....not franchised

Just  imagine just how fucking bad Oblahblah is fucking actual small business...

...and some ditz above says she  hates a company that employs 10,000 people and provides them with health insurance more than Obama

..

Didn't Kumar from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle work for the Obama admin??

way to destroy the business that made you famous, dick.

 Yes and then one day The Wooks walked in and found him blowing Prez'nint McBumbleFuck. So he got canned.

Amen.

You really do have a hard-on for slimy glops of diarrhea laded onto half-sized soggy buns, don'tcha? 

Well..if you're going to put it that way..

..hell yeah

Oh   ...and fuck Oblahblah for trying to destroy the company..and fuck all the useful idiots cheering him on

We have our own version of the EMP. 

1. Cows

2. Beans

3. Profit!

But, I do appreciate the irony of a company that got off the ground by revolutionizing fast food by removing the questionable sanitation situation of hamburgers being bankrupted by a health care bill.

Wait, did I say irony? I meant stupidity.

And that made no sense. Care to elaborate?

Let them eat cake.

Can we have fries with that, Marie? Else, it's off with your head!

If you like your plan, you get to keep your plan.

_{Unless your employer dumps the plan.}

being trapped here in spamland, we don't have the greatness known as sliders

i love you guys but i would more likely than not sacrifice one or a few of your lives for a couple bags of sliders and some chicken rings

navycopjoe,

Nobody brings the warmth like you, dood.

I'm calling bullshit. No human being, whether he be black or white, would set foot down the hill.

Been there, done that.

BikerFox, please kill yourself now.

I say saw off the barrel of a double barrel shotgun (so you can more readily reach the triggers while the barrels are in your mouth) and embrace the sweet release of death. I recommend a load of birdshot and buckshot. One shell of each.

If you would do that, I would become a Vegan that runs a lot and bikes too.

Do we have a deal?

Not true. I got shit-faced drunk many a time just over the tracks (prolly safer than the UC area, BTW) .But that's all the further I would go.

You're not hearing me, dumbass.

You never served homeless folks.

Oh, come on...OTR wasn't always the warzone it is now...just the past, oh, 40 years or so.

 The worst part is that ORT is just down the hill from UC. Young college students go shopping for drugs in Murder Central.

Did you go to the website? I didn't. Because, you know, Scarlett is a no-show.

It's not a gay biker website, is it? I may have to do a check on Scarlett when she gets here, just in case.

I just threw up in my mouth.

The nearest White Castle to me is 75 miles due south, on Allerton Avenue in "Da' Bronx".  I think nothing of driving down at 8 or 9 pm just to get a couple dozen!!!

Addictive is not the proper word.  It's way past that.
