After meeting coffee--- er I mean drink

Every Thursday after the meeting we all head down to Dunkin Donuts in Montville for coffee and a chew the fat session (more on that later).

Last night all the normal fat chewers I talked to were heading other places, so...I headed to the Derby, the Brown Derby. I had a Jack and Coke, two beef tacos, and a crock of chili with tortilla chips.

hmmmm, coffee or... booze and food....

I think I'll be taking the booze and food route more often.

Chewing the Fat:
Sailors had to chew on salt pork when supplies were low, complaining about the poor food and other topics as they did, the term became to mean sit around and talk, the fat has pretty much been forgot about today.

 To chew the rag is based on chewing pieces of rag when the chewing tobacco had run out.
