No, its not one of those “you get a disease and your arms fall off” kinds of curses – that would suck, but its nothing compared to The Denny Family Curse. So how did the Denny’s come to have a curse on them I hear you ask? Well – sit down, drink your slushy and let me tell you.
It all started in 1959 when Danny’s Donuts changed their name to Denny’s Restaurants. Like many curses the Dennys of the time didn’t take it seriously until out of the blue it struck.
You see, for the last couple of months I’ve been getting Technorati search hits on RSS feeds about people called “Mitch” going to restaurants called “Denny’s”. Sure – I get the lions share of hits, but what is the deal with this Mitch guy – why on earth would you go to a Denny’s restaurant anyway?
Grumble.
