George's Diner

While I don't doubt someone could have had a negative experience at George's, I must say, I visit the place very regularly (breakfast only) and every trip has been "flawless". Food and service...always perfect. I'll wait there 30 minutes, even when "the other" place on the corner has tables avaiable.

In the interest of mankind, what is a Rook?

Hi Captain,

The definition of rook can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_(chess). "White Rook" was the call sign for Sgt. Saunders, played by actor Vic Morrow, in the 60's TV program COMBAT. "Checkmate King II" was the call sign for Lt. Hanley played by actor Rick Jason. The communication calls would go something like Checkmate King II ... This Is White Rook .... Over" which is also shown in my signature file. White Rook is the call name for my boat on the VHF-FM radio and my NH license plate is WHTROOK. By the way, did I tell you that I'm a big COMBAT fan?

Ya' think?

I had even missed your signature at the bottom. That's unlike me.

I vaguely remember combat, those were my single digit years............

"Morrow died on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie while holding two small children, (My-Ca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen). A helicopter being used on the set spun out of control and crashed, decapitating Morrow and one of the children and crushing the other.[1] The six occupants inside the helicopter sustained minor injuries. The accident led to massive reforms in U.S. child labor laws and safety regulations on movie sets in California."

............let us hope that your final demise is not so grisly.

Now, on a happier note.......whose ready for breakfast?

Interesting.......

"Earlier in his career, Morrow was in a film called Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. There was a scene where he was supposed to fly in a helicopter. "I’m not getting up in the helicopter… I have a premonition that I’m going to get killed in a helicopter crash." The clue phone was ringing – no one picked up."
