You wouldn't bend the rules for things, like say, "Half Dozen," "Double Dozen," "Dozen Dozen?"

Is this a place to host parties or a place that sells party supplies?
Neither. Its a drive through liquor store. There's other names for them, they just get called that throughout most of Texas because the majority are shaped similar to a barn.

That's pretty awesome; I don't think we have anything like that in NC. Of course we also can't buy alcohol until after noon on Sundays either (cause Jesus wouldn't like it).

The only other one I know is decimal dozen, but that is a wine box


TSTR, look up Brewthru. That is probably the biggest chain of them. And there are several in NC.

No. I'm in the process of talking to the corporate management of a large local pizza place here to get one of their locations to stop selling wings to go because I've known two people who have lost dogs to chicken wing bones sold by the place and every time I walk my dog she picks up at least two wings from the place. Things are looking good for them to stop selling them since 1. the corporate people and the owner know me 3. they really aren't making that much money off of wings to go 5. no one wants the kind of negative publicity that comes with selling something that is killing peoples pets.

Edit I'm not coffee'd up. The wings to go are just getting eaten and thrown on the ground everywhere near the restaurant so that's why the dogs are getting to them.
