Ketariniii Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Well i got my armor kit yesterday and figured id take a walk to see how everything felt today. So i suited up and decided to take a trip with my friend mark down to Lottaburger (yes its a real place). Everything went great, though the armor rubbed in a few places but that can be fixed easily. I got my burger and had a nice chat with some local police officers (of whom there are ALWAYS some at any lottaburger). Once officer even suggested that i paintball in my armor to avoid welts. Overall i got a warm reception and made some people smile so it was time well spent. Quote
TK8280 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Thats great! we need some pic's of your first adventure now Quote
trooperstormy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 That burger place sounds funny. Here in Cali, there is a place called "In-N-Out Burger" and right now i'm in Washington state and people have NO IDEA what it is. They think its a made up place. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 You gotta love RTEs (random trooping events). There was a burger joint back home in Arkansas called "Big Momma's" it was amazing, and most people didn't even know what it was. Quote
trooperstormy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I just got back from a place in Issaquah, WA called XXX Rootbeer. If you stop by there, get the XXX BURGER. It is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Runnriottt Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 RTE... THE best reactions come from those... Quote
kiyotei[TK] Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I live in Seattle and dream of "In and Out" burgers. I used to live in LA. Hmm yummie. I used to miss Fat Burgers but they finally opened one here. Quote
trooperstormy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah, I'm off to Seattle tomorrow. Quote
Ketariniii Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah unfortunately no pictures exist apart from those taken on the phones of random people on the way there. One guy stopped his suv in traffic just to take a picture though. My camera is out of commision for a while (hence i havnt had a build thread). Im doing a appearance at a local school soon for one of my friends Anime clubs so hopefully illg et some fun pics out of that. One thing i do have to say is that you really cant see a thing in those helmets, I felt like i had drunk goggles for the first ten minutes i had it on. Quote
giric thren Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Ketariniii, do you have bubble lense? if so you should try falt lenses...... if your not doing a hero, i have heard that bubble lenses will give you the drunk feeling. and about burgers, 11 years ago when my mom was in the hospital my dad and i would eat at a burger place down the road, and they had the best burgers...... it was called Country Burger, i have only seen 2, one in Plano, and the other in Garland.

I used to miss Fat Burgers but they finally opened one here. You should contact them about franchising. I had my first one after the Rose Parade and was instantly hooked. Seattle needs a good burger option, as Red Mill only exists in two locations. Quote

Yeah i have bubble lenses for now. Im waiting for runriot to get his lens run in order so i can grab a set from him. Quote
TD2802[501st] Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah, I'm off to Seattle tomorrow. No sampling of Seattle's best burgers is complete without a visit to Kidd Valley. http://www.kiddvalley.com/handmade/hand_made.html Quote
Guest T*E Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 No sampling of Seattle's best burgers is complete without a visit to Kidd Valley. http://www.kiddvalley.com/handmade/hand_made.html Now now, XXX drive in is THE best root beer and a cool place to visit. Owner Jose is the MAN and his family is cool as beans as well. Now, when in Seattle, make sure you get some Dick's... Yes it is called Dick's drive in's... Best bang for the buck. Better than In-N-Out in my opinion. Kid Valley is killer as well. If anyone ever comes to the Portland area, look me up, I will take you to Scotties in Forest Grove. AWESOME monster burger and broasted chicken. Not only is it a landmark, but the very same mom and pop theater I saw Star Wars in in 1978 is STILL in operation just up the street. I lost the chance to buy it for a mere $1200.00 a few years back. Something I still wish I did not miss out on. Seattle also has the EMP restaurant where you can get the Kobe beef burger for a mere $15.00... Best beef in the world. California has the In an Out burger, tasty and the Strawberry shakes are to DIE for! Worth hitting the road for in Redding, first place from Oregon to get one.. only a mere 6 hours south. Washington's places are killer too. Oregon is a bit thin on cool hamburger joints, but Scotties has been around since 1947. It is a mere 15 minutes from me, so I am kinda partial to it. There is also the Helvetia Tavern for a cold beer and a burger that is too big for most to finish in one sitting. Thats also only 15 minutes from the abode! Anyone want to come down for a Scotties burger and reminisce at the theater? I am trying to see if I can get ANH to play there.. It is the last place I saw ANH on the big screen in 1997... Seemed fitting. Quote
Ketariniii Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 I wish we had In and Out Burger here, or White Castle. But New Mexico has some of the worst selection when it comes to restorants. We USED TO have a Shaky's Pizza but now the only one i know of is in Lancaster, CA. Quote

We USED TO have a Shaky's Pizza but now the only one i know of is in Lancaster, CA. Shakey's! Oh man, we lost ours in Oregon back in 1992, luckily there is still 2 in Seattle area and I found them by accident a few years ago. The taste was the same as I remember when I was a kid. Shakey's special and a col pepsi... MMMMMM... The memories! On the other note, I did try White Castle when I was at C3.. how do I say this nicely.. BARF... WOW.. it was horrible. Now, if the whole burger was not steamed to death I am sure I would have enjoyed it. But it was a mashed together, wet ,nasty mess and it was all I could do NOT to lose it right on the table. NOW, the one I miss and we don't have is Chik-fil-a! I LOVE that place.. We just got el Taco a week ago an Sonic a year ago. Man I am so hungry now. T*E Quote

T*E They just opened two Chik-fil-a's here, but theyre both ON THE WEST SIDO OF TOWN! I love up on the east side about as far geographically as you can get from them without living in the mountains. Fortunately for us our side of town got the only two Popeyes Chicken ^.^ Quote

If anyone ever wants the best cheeseburgers... Burgerville... I would KILL for a Chick-fil-a right now.. DRATS! T*E Quote
wannab Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 If anyone ever makes it up to Anchorage, Alaska you have to go to the Arctic Roadrunner the best burgers (and onion rings) ever! (closed on Sundays) Doug Quote
wannab Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Wow, I must be hungry all the burger talk made me forget the original reason for this thread - lol. Quote
Ketariniii Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 Its interesting how a thread on trooping turned into a burger war and franchise complant center. Quote
Altess Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 OHHHHH SWEET TEA! The Chik-fil-a sweet tea is the BEST! I use to drive 30 minutes for their sweet tea. now I have one down by the mall. (5 mns tops) Road trip for a gallon of SWEET TEA ! Whooooo hoooooo! Quote
Ketariniii Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 Ill have to try it sometime. Quote
