Greg that’s hilarious! I will remember not to eat Chinese while visiting Austin.

Matt, you’re right.

There’s a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant near where I live that I like to visit on special occasions. The food is authentic and ran by a family who moved from China about 10 years ago. There’s a girl there, very beautiful, but doesn’t speak hardly any English. Obviously she has seen Full Metal Jacket, because when customers pay their bills and walk to the door, she always yell out, “Bye bye! Me love you long time!” She usually get smiles and laughs when she does that, which probably makes her think she’s pleasing the customers.

God bless authentic Chinese restaurants. Without them, America would be dull.

Not completely on topic, but there is a Chinese restaurant near where I worked called Dynasty Chinese Kitchen. Unfortunately, due to the harsh outdoor environment (?), the first two letters have fallen off, and it now reads: nasty Chinese Kitchen. Which, considering the health inspection scores of Chinese restaurants in Austin, makes a lot of sense.

Chad: You'd think he would've let the drink slide, but no, he's a Samurai! Max: There might even be a China Buffet on Mars. If you've seen Total Recall, there's a Jack in the Box on the red planet, so there has to be a China Buffet. Scott: Hah, then he would have chopped my hands off for being disobedient. Not a chance! Mike: Yep, it is! I'm guessing that you too have shared the same experience with Samurai Jack. Colin: What rock did you crawl out from? Only joking of course, just haven't seen you in awhile. Anyhow, I'm thinking every China Buffet in the world (including the one on Mars) should adopt that slogan: "All you can eat, it's just a phrase, just an expression!".

"You been here for four hour! This is not your home! "All you can eat." It's just a phrase, just an expression!" - Random man of Chinese decent.

That's what I hear everytime I go to a "China Buffet".

I would have yelled back, “I’m not paying a penny over $7.83!”

Is there a “China Buffet” in every town across America? That is just begging to become some weird Flickr group…
