I envisioned garage logic as a full blown workshop with ac, wireless internet, a beer fridge full of cold buds and a bedroom loft in case the wife gets made and you need a place to sleep.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, Brian. I know I'm stupid, but I have a certain brute cunning.


Okay, now I see that my deductive reasoning was faulty. I assumed that your poor estimation of my deductive reasoning skills implied a strong faith in your own deductive reasoning skills.

My bad. Again.

What one gains from yet another coupon deal, will be lost once oligarch enrichment entities like GLI succeed in imposing tolling on Ohio River bridges. Over here, One Southern Indiana, yet another proponent of tolling, just today has unleashed a Think Local campaign, but didn't even have the basic cojones to take credit for it on the Facebook site, preferring instead to have us believe it's a grassroots effort.

Robin, I am sorry I picked apart your reasoning in that thread but there's really no reason to go back to a thread that's been dead for several months and irrelevant to this subject and post it today to make yourself feel better, it's totally out of context and just shows that it bothered you.

I'm confused. Looking at APC's menu it looks like a party of four would easily spend $40 if they ordered one appetizer, four burgers and beers or soft drinks. Looks like a pretty good coupon to me (although it's sold out).


Sorry, but I would count 4 as a group. Most coupon deals offer an amount appropriate for 2 diners. This one was way too much for 2 diners.

So... take a group. Or whatever you call 4 people together having a meal.

I Love Sushi & Teriyaki will run Thursday.

Any restaurant owners please contact me if you would like to have your business featured.

This post was focused to inform the restaurant owner of all the numbers possible that could and should be expected from a deal like this.

You will not find Groupon doing anything along these lines. Yet you will not find them eagerly telling you that they have a non-compete clause in their contracts now.

Oh well, I may cease posting here if it does not benefit anyone.

I have been a lurker for a year and a past poster prior to this when I help run a restaurant.

You might hold off and see if people actually in the restaurant business get in touch, John Robert. Sorry about the cleanup in Aisle Four.

Yeah, it's actually different than other coupon deals with the "One voucher per visit/table" clause. Actually is a better deal. I'll probably sign up.
