Alice: I'm hungry. Can we eat at a P.J. Pinhole's? voice: Oh, no. Petey: Last time we ate there I sat under a rowboat. I was sure it was going to fall on me. Alice: I like P.J. Pinhole's. They put little plastic swords in the hamburgers. Mom: I have a coupon for P.J. Pinhole's. Dad: P.j. Pinhole's it is!

I love those little plastic swords.

For Petey’s sake, it was a rowboat. Not the Sword of Damocles!

I save those little plastic swords whenever I get one! BUT that is a big, looming rowboat, full of foreboding and laden with dark doom…. Poor Petey, a victim of familial democracy.

I loved this one! Much angst for Petey.
It makes me think of PJ’s Oyster Bar, about nine miles west of here in St. Pete Beach. Love to go there and watch the oysters tie one on.

Score one for the parents for not affirming Petey’s unfounded anxieties.

This time he’ll probably have to sit beneath a bicycle or a stuffed moose head.

There is an old seafood restaurant on the water’s edge in Seattle that we stumbled across years ago as tourists and it had an old canoe hanging from above near where we were seated. This strip immediately took me straight back there. Very cool. Good memories.

And P.J. Piehole’s has CRINKLE-CUT FRIES! Can’t argue with that!
