healthy foods and roach coaches are contradictions of terms…
JayBluE over 11 years ago
If you’re gonna do something… do it right….-That’s why I was saying yesterday, I don’t think TJ got past the "making money’ stage of his endeavor.. he skipped a few steps in his plan… good thing he’s got people he can use… er… count on, to fill in the gaps…
JayBluE over 11 years ago
Cockroaches are the only thing that can survive in that disaster area on wheels.^You’re right… add another task to the list…. the Ex-Terminator… and hope that when he gives you the bill, he won’t have to say: “I’ll be back”….
JayBluE over 11 years ago
Looks like Toni is seeing that Brad will be a practical thinker for their nest…
RBLawyer over 11 years ago
Brad is becoming his dad… That damned adulthood! It started when he was oplayed off from his firefighter job.

I find it interesting that it seems that Toni did the work to get it running, while Brad was working on it for some time, and yet, who is the ‘Grease Monkey’? At least Toni knows how to keep her end clean…

Luann is set in California, so, get your $500 ready, BS

Toni is having fun and enjoying her practical guy, who cuts such a contrast with TJ, who is mostly talk and very little action….

Brad sounds more like his dad or mom?

How come T.J. never had a girlfriend? He’s a nice guy.
reedkomicks Premium Member over 11 years ago
@ Iamjayblue: about yesterdays comment that TJ and Ann were enemies, well, it is a thin line between love and hate.
drewpamon over 11 years ago
Just because everything Brad is saying is correct doesn’t mean he has to bring down the excitement level. That is one reason that some people will never be entrepreneurs their heads are filled with fears instead of dreams.

I can’t see healthy food coming out of that truck either.
kenvilkid over 11 years ago
Why is so tough for some to think healthy food can’t come out of a truck? How to you think “healthy” food gets to your store.. magically appears? No, a truck brings it. Did you every look in the back of a tractor trailer box to see how “clean” that is? If you did you would be cleaning your veggies with Clorox before you cook you healthy food. And since most of the “healthy” menus are mostly barely cooked food, why couldn’t a food truck service provide that. As long as its clean and has a good refrigeration unit in it, the whole idea is great. Plus there are plenty of people doing this already with some of the best food you every ate.

He’s got the husband and dad speeches down. This actually is a cute strip today.
JayBluE over 11 years ago
Yeah.. that’s why I was saying it like that….
Kathe over 11 years ago
Thanks for the recipe. Will give it a try.

“Yeah, the roaches would take care of the “mobile” part.. they’ll make sure it’s “fast food”….”…Nothing like seeing your sandwich traversing across the counter somewhat apparently by itself.….It’ll save you costs on waitstaff!
CartoonServices.Com over 11 years ago
Don’t forget the cost of buying, or renting, a commercial kitchen. You can’t do all the prep work in the truck.
2Goldfish over 11 years ago
People don’t eat off of trucks like that when they are looking for “healthy” food.
rickray777 over 11 years ago
Simple. That so-called food truck looks unsafe AND unhealthy just sitting there! I mean, come on, TJ. I may be hungry, but I’m not THAT hungry!
Doctor11 over 11 years ago
Prepare to spend A LOT of time and money on fixing the green monster up, T.J.
Miles VanDelay over 11 years ago
With the way that engine is puffing along, everything will be smoked, including the salads and drinks. Shoulda called it “TJ’s Smokehouse”. Here in Califoni, it will be classed as a ‘gross polluter’ and the state (us taxpayers) will offer him somewhere between $500 and $1000 to turn it in.
Gotta love Cali! Oh, wait, no I don’t.
ACTIVIST1234 over 11 years ago
Right Djinn— the great teams are:Brad & ToniToni & TJTJ & Brad*The three will be able to work together in all daytime things! And since Levi & Brdsht think TJ can’t stand girls (romantically), only the first team will count at night (so NO danger of a menage a trois)
rkozakand over 11 years ago
No, TJ doesnt want Toni to cook,he is a much better cook than she is
rickray777 over 11 years ago
That so-called food truck: TJ might get it running, he might not. Only time will tell.
vwdualnomand over 11 years ago
are there any good food trucks that have a healthy option?
vldazzle over 11 years ago
The truck not only has to get running, clean and licensed, but it needs to LOOK appealing. Since the only female there is the mechanic, I guess TJ must do his own décor (unless he can con someone new into doing it).
No one would order food from such a nasty looking mess!
JayBluE over 11 years ago
I guess we will not only be waiting to see if they start to tackle the other issues “tomorrow”, we may also find if this is a one or two week arc swing, or maybe to even do the “time lapse development” thing, where we go to another arc, switch back, and find they’ve tackled some of these things later on…..

TJ may very well be asexual, but the examples of Luann and Tiffany hardly count as proof. A lot of guys will not see their best friend’s sister as a romantic possibility. He may very well think of her in a sister-like way himself. Nobody would want to get serious with Tiffany. She’s for looking at, not for spending a whole lot of time with.
sarafaye over 11 years ago
“Cranial flatulence.” Hee hee. I will be saving that one for later use.
sarafaye over 11 years ago
Another poor example, as there is no shortage of other reasons he might not have wanted to go out with her. She was only moderately attractive, but more importantly, she was a big pile of boring, control freak, condescending snob.
sarafaye over 11 years ago
When Brad had a dream a few years ago TJ was also an annoying downer. At least Brad is being helpful. I think between the three of them they might have what it takes to get this business off the ground. I just hope that Brad and Toni are not under any illusions about TJ showing much gratitude.

NO self-respecting cucaracha is gong to stay in THAT mobile ptomaine palace!
