I always avoided the local Applebees anyway for taste reasons...

I have said in the past that the only way I'd set foot inside Appleby's is if it were raining frogs and I didn't want to get one down my shirt.

Apparently, I should have included lizards.

I thought the lizard head came with the Cobb Salad, not the Santa Fe...

It's raining frogs, hallelujah, it's raining frogs

Applebee's and 99 are both big out here, and I'd rather starve than eat in either one. Lizard sushi sounds kind of interesting, though. Maybe I'll reconsider.

Weasel,

You state you don't go to Applebee's for taste reasons. I will never go back to one either, after getting an almost leathal dose of sodium at our local Applebee's.

The food served was soooooo salty, we were laughing about it. And we all ordered different things too. I guess the cook at our local Applebee's really really liked salt, LOL.

It is astonishing how foolish humans can be in groups, especially when they follow their leaders without question - States: The Bene Gesserit View. All States Are an Abstraction.

The salt masks the taste of the lizard...

And here I thought only Cracker Jacks gave you special toy suprises!

Hey, misto... You've already forgotten about the special "toy surprise?" sheesh.

My favorite part of the article was the sub-heading:

Presence of animal parts appears to be accidental

Oh, really? My step-daughter's favorite restaurant is Appleby's, but prolly not once I tell her this!

Awe Crap! I always liked Applebee's chicken caesar salads. Lizards totally freak me out and there are tons of them out now in this heat.

Oh how yummy. I would like a lizard in my salad, instead of your microwaved chicken...
