re: Your go-to meal when you were a student at AU

Not meals, but me and my buddies back in the day used to do Friday pre-gameday Happy Hours at Waldo Peppers.

$3 pitchers of bar-brand gin & tonic or bourbon & coke.

Back in the print media days, there used to be a line-up of newspaper machines outside Toomers Drug Store. Well, we got well lit one night at Waldo's and ran out of money to keep drinking. Toomer's Corner was on our way home (to Plainsman Apartments on Magnolia) and there were those damn newspaper machines. We dared one of our buddies to tackle one of the newspaper machines. So he got down in a three point stance and we gave him the hut (not the hut-hut) and damn if he didn't tackle the machine down. And said machine, upon hitting the sidewalk, broke open spilling all its coinage.

Back to Waldo Pepper's fellers!

(Me and said buddies still tail-gate on Game Days to this very day. My best friends and brothers always.)
