Merla and I were talking about this. It doesn't really matter why. Frankly, I think too many people are gross enough as it is. It's enough to handle a book or computer or whatever that hundreds of people have touched, let alone deal with crumbs, hands freshly in mouths, spills, and that nonsense.

Why the hell would you want to eat in the Library?

It always annoyed me, though thankfully most won't let you even bring bottled water. Given the germs on the books, I don't see why you would want to eat a slice of pizza with.

Because you're hungry.

They apparently let you in the library at UT in Austin.

Texas has higher education? Huh.

There is an easy solution to that. You get your ass up out of the chair, leave, go get something to eat, and then return and no longer be hungry. Even in my little slice of nowhere there are plenty of places to eat within a short distance of the Library.

Well, supposedly, UT Austin can do it because they're a tier one school while other schools in the UT system prohibit it. So no, I don't think it's just a Texas thing but I also don't know how many schools outside TX allow it. Not only does the UT school here prohibit it, but you can literally walk downstairs and get something to eat, so it doesn't make that much sense why ppl insist on doing it anyway.

I blame Oaklahoma for the eating. Damn former Indian Territory.

Is it a Whataburger or a Taco Bueno? Been wanting to try those.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 19, 2009, 08:41:56 PM »

I ate at a Whattaburger on Free Comic Book Day. Having heard the hype, I was not impressed.

Fiero · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 19, 2009, 09:41:57 PM »

There is hype about Whataburger? Really?

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 19, 2009, 10:36:52 PM »

No less than four friends/family members told me I HAD to go to Whataburger, so I did when I had the opportunity. The closest analog I could find to it was the Sonic hamburgers...no better or worse.

Rama · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 19, 2009, 10:57:41 PM »

I've heard hype about Whataburger before too, but saying they taste like Sonic Burgers is pretty meh. There is a local place here called Beach Burger that has the best burger I've ever had.

Fiero · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 12:52:51 AM »

I don't eat meat anymore so my opinion is somewhat dated, the only thing I thought was exceptional about there food was the bacon and the fries.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 01:00:14 AM »

Does anyone else have Five Guys Burgers and Fries or is strictly an east-coast thing? Anyway, those burgers are the shit. Bacon and Jalepenos FTW.

Rama · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 03:07:45 AM »

Never even heard of that place.

B E C K · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 04:51:54 AM »

Heard of Five Guys, don't know if there's one here.

Re: Shwiggie's "had hype, tastes like Sonic". Dude, you've said this before and all I can say is wherever you went, they either make them wrong at Whataburger or great at Sonic. The Sonics here have a pathetic-looking burger and the Whataburgers are fan-diddly-tastic and not even comparable to Sonic. However, they certainly aren't something I would neccessarily hype to anyone. They just taste great and if I want a burger, 9 out 10 that's where I go.

Taco Bueno: there's one around here but never had the urge to try it. I don't really eat that sort of food when I go out to buy something.

They have one at Gillette Stadium. They're delicious, as are the fries and free peanuts. Every time me and Kary go to the stadium complex, we at least have the fries.

I'm sorry I repeated it, so let me amend my statement by saying that the Jackson, MS, Whataburger's burgers taste like Sonic's burgers. It's true for Jackson, MS, and not necessarily anywhere else. You heard it here.

You also heard it reiterated for the millionth time right here that Hardee's has the best burger than any other fast food place I've visited. But only if you order them without onions or something; otherwise you get 'em cold and prepared beforehand, which is not as advertised.

Rama · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 07:52:48 PM »

That's true...cause I always have no Mayo on mine. I hate Mayo.

Fiero · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 07:56:54 PM »

Whataburger always makes it when you order it. Or they used to anyway.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 09:12:01 PM »

Mayonnaise is of the devil. And there are a lot of devil worshipers out there. "Thou shalt not put mayo on mine sammich."

The hospital cafeteria where I work automatically put it on there unless you tell them otherwise.

Fiero · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 09:44:44 PM »

I was never that big on mayo, but I liked miracle whip.

I really like veganaise.

Derrick · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 11:27:08 PM »

In Miami, they put mayo on everything. My third night there, I had a floor meeting in the dorm. RA ordered a giant Italian sub. Living in the North East, the only dressing on an Italian sub is oil and vinegar. My room mate was from Buffalo. We both nearly died when we bit in, and there was more mayo than meat.

People at subway would ask for regular and lite mayo together. Jesus. Fuck.

Rama · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 20, 2009, 11:38:26 PM »

All I know is some asshat a long time ago thought that if you put bacon on something you must also put Mayo. Bacon makes everything better, mayo not so much.

There is no eating in the library.

At FSU you could eat in the lobby area which was fine, but I don't want to hear some fuck crunching on ruffles while I'm on 60mg of adderol. I'm likely to jump up on the desk and deliver a macho man elbow in that case.

Rama · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 21, 2009, 03:06:21 AM »

If you finish it off with "Oh Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Snap into a Slim Jim!" It would be totally worth it.

At MSU they had a coffee shop in the library, but you could only eat and drink in its sitting area.

FIU had a cafe and Starbucks on the bottom floor, but then the library was the second through ninth floors, and giant doors kept you from bringing delights.

Poll

Should people be allowed to eat in the library?
