She’s trying to pump them for every nickel.

They would have no interest in that domain name because their slogan for thirty-some years has been “Home of Throwed Rolls.” The non-standard usage probably reflects speech patterns in the region of their first restaurant. I think it’s safe to say they don’t give a hoot about the grammar.

OMG, I love Lambert’s. Their rolls (and all of their food) is amazing, and of course I love the throwed part. I also have several pairs of shorts from Lambert’s that say “Hot Buns” on the back. 😛

I think it’s hilarious that one of the similar business photos on that page is “Fried Pies.” What else they got? Flipped Pizzas? Pureed Steaks?

It wasn’t like her eye was damaged by something dangerous, like a bear claw. No way her award will send her to the upper crust. If she testifies, the defense attorney will grinder down. That hot cross will be so brutal, she’ll have to bagel to be let off the stand. Challah!

Have you never had a fried pie? Even McDonald’s has those! I’d toss you one but I don’t want to be sued.

Her eye probably doesn’t protrude like a reptile, the soft roll is round without any corners, and it’s gently tossed underhand. I don’t understand the physics here.

Well, get out the way, Old Troy Tucker-  
You’re gonna get hit with rolls at supper.  
Well supper is over and dinner is cookin’-  
You’ll get nailed again if you ain’t lookin.

If you read the thread, you’ll see that despite the name Troy Tucker is apparently a woman.

Sorry I don’t have any bread pun for this post. It runs counter to the whole grain of my personality.

Actually, as part of their health consciousness :p, Mickey D’s [bakes](http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/food/product_nutrition.dessertsshakes.706.baked-hot-apple-pie.html) theirs now. Thankfully, there are [places](http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jaemor-farms-alto?select=W7FRHnF8TOjKsNrzs5yC8w&reviewid=WQYq3_jRVIsjhg0bATGIng) around that still do it right. Think of a fruit filled, fried empanada.

Well, yeah, where else to go for healthy food but Mickey D’s?  
Ugh.  
If I ever find myself in Georgia again (another story) I’ll try your suggestion, **Doctor Jackson**.

So if she wins all that bread, will her lawyer puff himself up with pride?

_McDonald’s, hot coffee, clumsy woman_ are all terms that come to mind.
