In the vast inane of the California high desert there is a greasy spoon diner, just off Route 66, of such mythic reputation that gastronomes from around the world brave the bedlam of the raucous clientele to savor the epiphanous delights of Burt’s Bakersfield Burger Joint and, though many arrive reeking of skepticism, they quickly fall under the spell of his 'Blue Cheese and Onion Two-Hander' and atonement is swift and certain.

The hungry gastronome was only demanding justice for the empty stomachs of his dinner companions when he admonished the waiter that “no small portions will fill such great inanes,” but they heard their intelligence insulted, and pugilistic bedlam arose, lasting until a dictionary was consulted and the lexicographically ignorant atoned.

When I teased him for spouting vacuous inanities about the provender thrust before us amid the convivial bedlam of my local truckers' eatery, he sadly declared (while admonishing my

Mrs. Keenan held her hands to her ears theatrically to convey her disapproval of the bedlam emanating from the private dining room behind the bar where the South Ardmore Gastronomic Club was well into hour three of its fortnightly overdose of food and drink (probably mostly the latter, she inferred from their inane conversation, fragments of old Army songs, and a certain impropriety in their interaction with the waitress, for all of which they would most certainly atone the next day on the early shift at the boiler factory).
