I'm convinced black sails is the reason why "Long John Silver's; The Restaurant" remains open.
People used to say it was a front for money laundering (because they only truly get business during lent) but I say, it's because of the show.
Next time you run across hushpuppy heaven, ask for "the fritter fratter", they'll take you to the basement. Yes, every location has a basement...
Anyway,
After you get down there, a person in full leather will fall out of the ceiling from above. Dust them off, then say "let's get at er"
The leather clad greeter will then seat you and give you the actual menu.
Ask for "The Peg-Leg" and your server will appear, dressed as a parrot; and lead you back upstairs to the fryers in the kitchen, dumping everything into the same grease.
Explaining to you why this is how it has to be, your server will then take you by the hand to the bathrooms, the very last stall, and shall point at a glory hole with the sharpie inscription "here be Long John"
Although I’m a New Yorker, I happen to be living in Florida right now, and there’s a bunch of Long John Silvers down here.
Your shitpost has not fallen on deaf ears, lol. You have shivered me timbers— yar har har
Sighs with relief
I'm in Missouri, currently. I get it. Missouri is the Florida of the Midwest, as you probably know.
Stay strong & thank you for branching out to inform me that my joke wasn't seeded for ~~naught~~ knot. I really ~~do~~ dew appreciate it!
Happy cake day!
Oh snap, I haven't heard that term in a long time..
..cake day is a thing on Lemmy!?
As seen on Voyager, iOS
Nice to know
You have a little cake icon next to your username (Mlem app, iOS)
Sync for Android on Pixel does not (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Just checked the piefed webui, and it doesn’t either.
:(
Bummer, I was just getting ready to check that as well.
Apple, you win this time!
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Can I tell you a secret?
Once upon a few years ago, I was on the development team for Mlem. The whole idea was to develop a replacement app for Apollo (the famous Reddit app) but for Lemmy. FOSS and better.
As the UX designer, putting this little feature in was my idea. I’m glad they stuck with it.
Sadly, I couldn’t stay with the project for very long. But seeing that cake day icon, and a couple of other little ideas of mine here and there, make me happy when I use the app.
So, no, Apple doesn’t get credit for this one.
Wanna make something better with me?
Tempting…
