Cheers and Happy Holidays, Melissa! Love your work

I laughed out loud at the Feliz Navidad retort. It was a nice look into the down and out world on Christmas Eve. 5* ~~JBE
Knights in White Castle
Oh my, this is a splendid little Christmas romp. How I wish the White Castles of my youth were this entertaining. Hilarious stuff and pitch-perfect repartee.
I love this story. I laughed the whole way through. It's smart, and smart-ass, but it's also humane. And in its own weird, twisted way, very Christmasy. I think you nailed the theme.
I worked at McDonald's a long time ago. It's not the same as White Castle, but the story still brought back some memories. Excellent!
5 stars
8 rain deer. People cannot just add other rain deer to the canon.
Like October is the 8th month, Octo is having eight. The Latin word octo cannot be changed to 10 month. December is the tenth month.
Yeah, strip clubs are dead on Christmas eve, great story.
Give Roxanne and Clover a Netflix series, "Strippers Getting Breakfast." It would give those Seinfeld comedian coffee runs some serious competition.
Excellent story. Love all the banter and it makes me laugh. Great characters that you've created.
Hi, Melissa,
Great to see the Gold Dollar girls back in action! Love their give-and-take attitude and dialogue, but also the generosity they exhibited to the other WC patrons. Very fun story, and yes, DH is a Christmas movie! Best wishes in the contest.
Tangles idea of a "Strippers getting Breakfast" is perfect. I'd watch that.
Too bad there's not a #6 STAR rating! There should also be a disclaimer/warning for those who have recently broken a few ribs....laughing will be murderous. The dialogue is like a lumberjack on ballet pointe....unwieldy, yet graceful. You've replaced Jean Shephard's "Christmas Story" for favored altered views in my book.
Humor is fucking hard, but this story is excellent. Lots of laughs. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 5 stars.
Love that tale. Definitely made me laugh. Thank you for your time and talent. DMW
Loved reading the story again. Congrats on the win but how could you lose with Sporty and the Gold Dollar Girls.
Cheers

Absolutely fantastic ….. and just starting the party with such simple acts like burgers and free trinks … thats sympathy and heart

This story made me laugh and tears came to my eyes. Your writing made me happy. Than you.
Know I’m day/late offering praise on this piece, but absolutely hilarious and poignant — nice blend; so well crafted. Your imagination is so deep. White Castles — OMG, way, way back in the day most original, wacky place to grab a late night, uniquely scrumptious 12/15 cent burger — and never just one or two or three. And by the way, your biography reads like a Steve Miller Band song The Joker — not first time said that. Love it.
Just absolutely freaking fantastic. Well written, witty, hilarious and just perfect!
Delightful, fun! A welcome change of pace. And, I would like to say………. What everybody else said :-)!
This hit me straight in the feels:
"You got to take steps if you want to get anywhere," he said.
So true.
I wasn’t so crazy about them mucking about at someone else’s place of work, but I’m choosing to believe Julio didn’t get in trouble for all that.
I was delighted I get to binge on these stories, but that was too quickly binged. Please write more.
This was so much fun, Roxy and Clover are such good friends, and good people. I was chuckling the whole way through the story. I have worked with and know people like Clover who use their humour to build relationships. Another great story, thanks Mel.
