Meme of the Secret Ten: All You Can Eat!

The Meme of the Secret Ten continues apace -- with a new entry from Travis, who breaks the Mighty Ami Monopoly! Travis writes:

2 and 9 open up a restaurant together. What kind of rest.? What is the name? What else can you tell us about it?

And I scratch my head and ponder.

Obviously, Margie Gunderson (#2) likes a nice smorgasbord. It's in her Nordic blood. They give ya a lotta good stuff ta eat, ya?

The trouble is #9, her partner. He's a bit of a sourpuss. It comes from feeling neglected his whole life. After all: No one wants a Charlie in the Box!

So Margie and Charlie get together to open a big buffet. Margie is really the first person (other than a reindeer and a short little kooky dentist a long time ago) to give Charlie the time of day. (Did he lose his legs in the war? she wonders. That poor, poor, springy man.) Charlie, grateful for the partnership, decides to name the restaurant after Margie. "You're such a super lady," he says. "We should call it SuperLady's Smogasbord!"

But Margie, super lady that she is, refuses to take all the credit. She insisted they install a drive-thru window where patrons can have their orders freshly pulled from the buffet and paid for by weight. The entire operation goes by "SuperLady's Smorgasboard and Charlie's Box Lunch."

Scout's honor, that's how it happened.

Sadly, the Qwik Rabbit died in 2002, of complications resulting from cocoa poisoning. He was survived by his many, many (many) children, who say, "Life's short! Why wait?"

They talk sense, those bunnies. I'll be answering another one of your questions today!
