Don’t have a clue. I’m so far in the flooded boonies of the heartland, I don’t get to eat out that much.
Great idea! This one is fun!
OK, I’m utterly flummoxed. No. 7 sounds intriguing, though, possibly with a side order of no. 13. Sorry, it’s been a long day!
Oh My! I have no idea on most of these. I am one of those rare individuals who has never worked food service in my entire life (except, unfortunately, at HOME!) This is very interesting, though, and I enjoyed reading the other comments as well.
The only thing I understood was ‘cup o’ mud’ aka coffee!
Creative list though. I found you through Shelly’s Link Love!
Have you worked in a diner?
Oh, come ON people! I answered these ten minutes after she posted it by using Google! I made her take down MY answers so YOU could give it a shot. If none of you take her up on it, I’m going to get that coffeeeeee! Like I need more caffeine!
Funny stuff! Good luck to the winner. I look forward to reading the translations.
I wish i knew, I love starbucks! But this is all over my head!:)
Oh Good Grief! Who would have thought that a bunch of bloggers don’t know how to use Google!!!
Shelly, You do, really, crack me up. You can also find the answers are also in the delightful children’s book, Frank and Ernest
. No, I haven’t worked in a diner — but I am utterly fascinated with the Elephant and the Bear who take on professional jobs, with grace, in a human world, and no one ever says anything about them being animals.
I’m game, I’m game!
Here’s my try and I’m not gonna google : )
On the hoof = anything to go
Bloodhounds in the Hay = hot dogs in a bun
Foreign Entanglements = hash browns
Hockey Puck = burnt english muffin
Zeppelin = burnt toast
Chewed with Fine Breath = after dinner mint
Shake one in the hay = tossed salad
Bailed hay = scrapple
Gravel train = raisins on celery
Bubble Dancer = milk bubbled up with a straw
Frog sticks = French fries
Radar range = grape knee-hi
Maiden’s delight = sundae with a cherry on top
I wish I knew what “hay” was…dried grass!?
I’m terrible at this!!!
Well, I like that she tried without looking it up! I think that Green Mom deserves to get the coffee just for stopping long enough to try! Actually, I like some of her answers better than the real ones!
I know, I was reading through her answers, and I can’t really argue with them. I can’t wait to tell her what they really are.
Good for her for using her noggin. Also, I might add, (un)relaxeddad is on target with his two.
What a super idea for a TT list! Much fun.
Thanks for your visit this week.
I can’t believe that I put myself thru college working at greasy diners and have never heard of most of these things…maybe they are regional??? Hmmmmmmmmm…I suppose I could use “the google” but that would be cheating…
#2 refers to a hot dog of some sort. Not sure what the “hay” is.
#4 is a burned dinner roll
#5 is a sausage of some sort
#12 is a microwave???? totally guessing and probably wrong…
That’s all I’ve got!!!

Nothin. Nada. Nix. Sorry!
Sad to say we didn’t go to diners growing up. I am intrigued by the names though – am looking forward to learning the answers . . .
Thanks for stopping by my TT this week – have a great weekend.
O gracious, SusieJ! Nanny Tina and I only know about the letter codes for inflated real estate and the ones for available men in the NY Personals! Remember when Nanny Tina fixed us up with the PC and the Mac fellows? (http://nannyworld.blogspot.com/2006/11/mac-and-pc-in-private-meetings.html )
We will watch as your contestants try compete for that Starbucks gift! Good luck Enigma-Groupies!
Things are looking very good for the green Mom. I hope it’s OK — because Starbucks just worked out a deal with the coffee bean farmers in the Third World — so Starbuck’s gets a thumbs up for being a good global citizen now.
Well, I DID get all the answers, but I had the help of Google. I vote hands down for Green Mom. Go ahead and announce it!!
