1. No shirt, no shoes, no sanity, no service.

[Polybius]

2. What do they mean by "We know ewe are"?

What's ewe? Was it a typo?

[packman]

3. Being clever with double meanings----

Definition of ewe

(Entry 1 of 2)
: the female of the sheep especially when mature also : the female of various related animals

9. After a pregnancy, a friend had trouble losing the baby weight.

Her father sent her a card with a picture of a sheep in the front, and the words:

Ewe’s not fat.

(On the inside)

Ewe’s just fluffy!

[ShazzieB]

15. OMG, that's hilarious! 🤣

[rsdsharp]

18. I thought so.

She was not amused.

[zeusdogmom]

39. I bet she wasn't

That was more than a bit mean on dad’s part. Perhaps meant to be cute or loving in acknowledging how difficult it is to loose pregnancy weight, but I certainly wouldn’t take it that way.

[3Hotdogs]

41. That was the basis of the Seeker's song... the one written about the Arkansas Republican whose

favorite wooly girlfriend died, "I Know I'll Never Find Another Ewe."

[malaise]

5. for the sheeple

It's hilarious

[Trailrider1951]

6. Ewe, pronounced "you"

is a female sheep.

7. It's a sheep pun.

[EYESORE 9001]

10. Perhaps this will help

The difference between Mick Jagger and a Scotsman?

Mick Jagger says, ‘Hey, you, get off of my cloud!’

The Scotsman says, ‘Hey, MacLeod, get off of my ewe!’

[calimary]

12. ROLF!!!

[Chili]

20. RRRRROTFL!!!

8. "We should be OK not serving you meatloaf today."

The customer is always right -- but if you're turned away because you're an asshole, then you're not a customer.

[twodogsbarking]

11. Ellen seems nice.

[IronLionZion]

13. Baaaaaa

[smirkymonkey]

16. That's pretty funny.

I wonder if the sheep is actually having fun or is kind of traumatized?

[Grokenstein]

25. Probably more frustrated/angry than traumatized.

Like a cat with its head stuck in a bag, only with less panic because it can see.

[certainot]

33. i hope they all took turns!

[LittleGirl]

14. I love a diner with attitude!

Wish I could help em out but I won’t step foot in Texas. I have relatives there but they need to come see me. God speed to all that live there!

[ShazzieB]

19. Same here!

If that sign was in the window of a restaurant near me, I'd eat there every chance I got!
But Texas (like Florida) is at the top of my list of PLACES NOT TO GO NEAR UNTIL COVID IS OVER.

Sorry, Texans, Floridians, et al. It's nothing personal. It's just that the people running your states right now are loons, and they scare me!

[Tree Lady]

22. My daughter in San Antonio came out this summer

But has been waiting for me to visit. I was going to go for her 40th bday in November but not with this going on.

[Lonestarblue]

32. I wish Ellen's would come to Austin. I would support it.

As for Texas as a whole, there’s a lot to like (winters before this last one), but we have more than our fair share of crazies and many of them are in state government. We are becoming Talibanized a bit every time the legislature meets and decides to pass anti-democratic laws. Thank God the legislature only meets every other year, although Abbott is fond of calling special sessions to pass bills that fail in the regular session. Last time it was bathroom bills, this time it’s taking away voting rights. My disgust with Republicans grows day by day.

[Upthevibe]

17. Kick....n/t

[onetexan]

21. Which eatery is this & in which city?

If its in the austin area i will def'ly go to eat there to support them! Kudos to this restaurant!

[IronLionZion]

23. Dallas area

It looks like this place: https://www.ellens.com/

[onetexan]

26. Thank u! We have family up there so visit quite often

I w be sure to frequent it next time 🙂

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. They're food looks amazing

Too bad they're in Texas. That's too far of a drive from Illinois.

[OriginalGeek]

40. I grew up in Dallas

And we hope to visit eventually and this place will be on my list to eat at.

I haven't seen my friends and family in many years and the last time was my mom's funeral so I want the next time to be happier. Eating at Ellen's will help toward that goal.

[NNadir]

42. Looks good. Regrettably the only way I'd ever set foot in Texas...

...short of some business demand (I did have to go to San Antonio in recent years), would be to visit my niece in Austin. (That is, however, unlikely, and she considers Texas a temporary stop in her career in any case; definitely suffering culture shock, even in Austin.)

If I ever find myself stranded in Dallas more or less against my will; Ellen's will ease the pain. The food looks great and includes lactovegetarian fare, not always easy to find in Texas in my experience.

[crickets]

24. I love signs like this. Good for Ellen's. 💙

[marble falls]

27. And if there were an Ellen's out here, and if I weren't self quarantining, I'd go to Ellen's!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. LOL

[Cha]

29. KR!

[North Shore Chicago]

35. Love Dallas, not so fond of Texas.

Good for Ellen's!


My beloved Molly Ivins said this about Texas:

"Texas s the national laboratory for bad government."

Oh my god, she is missed.

[Historic NY]

36. Must be some good meatloaf.
