The Lack Of Silverware, Plates, And Glassware At DSU Is An Indication Of A Bigger Problem

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

On April 23 I went to the Dickinson State University Dining Hall restaurant at 7:00 p.m. for dinner.  After I had paid to get in, I soon discovered that I could not find any silverware, plates, or glassware, and there was hardly any food left.

I was very angry about this, and when I got home, I updated two previously very favorable blog posts about the Dickinson State University Dining Hall restaurant, to describe what had happened.  Unlike myself, with the ability to get in my vehicle and go someplace else to eat, there are probably some DSU students who paid for a Dining Hall meal plan, who don’t have a vehicle and don’t have money to go someplace else to eat.

When I thought about this situation some more, I realized several things.  The first, second, third, and fourth time that I had been to the DSU Dining Hall restaurant, there had only ever been a handful of plates, silverware, and glassware.  And the plates and glassware were old, worn, inexpensive plastic.  I am not complaining, I just realized that there was a scarcity of plates, silverware, and glassware, and that it was old and worn.

At the same time that I was realizing how low on supplies the DSU Dining Hall was, I had recently read a Dickinson Press Newspaper article about how a group of 39 local business people and DSU alumni had raised $750,000 in order to purchase the previously occupied DSU Alumni and Foundation building.

This brought to mind newspaper articles that I had read about DSU alumnus Jerome Strom and his wife Rosie Strom donating $1 million to Dickinson State University in 2007 to form the Strom Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.  When the Strom Center was closed in 2016 due to lack of funding, Jerome Strom said that he was very disappointed with the closure, lack of communication, and not much of an explanation as to what happened.

I remembered more newspaper articles, such as five banks, American Bank Center, Choice Financial Group, Dacotah Bank, Western Bank, and Kirkwood Bank & Trust suing Dickinson State University for non-payment of loans to construct the Beisiot Activities Center on the DSU campus.  And, First International Bank And Trust foreclosing on the DSU Foundation’s Hawk’s Point Assisted Living Facility on the DSU campus for nonpayment of $5 million in debt.

Here is my question, and my puzzlement, this money, $750,000, $1 million, $5 million, and more, gifted, borrowed, lost, and not paid back, have these financial dealings gone too far astray from benefiting the students who actually attend Dickinson State University?  Wasn’t there, or isn’t there even $500 available to buy some new plastic plates, plastic glassware, and silverware for the students to eat with in the DSU Dining Hall?

Don’t anyone dare gift any money to Dickinson State University for new plates, glassware, and silverware for the DSU Dining Hall, because God only knows where that money will disappear.

I recommend going on the internet, ordering some commercial restaurant plastic plates, plastic glassware, and silverware, and having them shipped to:

Dr. Thomas Mitzel, Dickinson State University, 291 Campus Drive, May Hall 104, Dickinson, ND 58601.  Phone 701-483-2326, Thomas.Mitzel@dickinsonstate.edu

 

Here is a link to a commercial restaurant/cafeteria supplier: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/search/cafeteria-plates.html

 I am recommending the tan color plates, in order to match what the DSU Dining Hall already has, instead of the white plates, this is the product description for the tan color, 9″ diameter plates: (you should be able to just click on this product link in red type below to see a complete brochure description)

The Best Place To Pick Up Hot Young Women In Dickinson, North Dakota

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the beginning of April, I was invited to go to dinner at the Dickinson State University Dining Hall restaurant called “The Perch”.  I had not known that the DSU Dining Hall restaurant was open to the public, but it was.

The first time that I ate at The Perch restaurant, the salad bar and the main course choices were very good.  The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th times were O.K. too.  However, on the evening of April 23 when I arrived at the restaurant at 7:00 p.m., and after I had paid to get in, I could not find any silverware, plates, or glassware, and I found that there was hardly any food left.

Meanwhile, the general manager of the restaurant, Aaron Zummer was standing there wearing a navy blue blazer, shaking everyone’s hand, instead of fixing the lack of silverware, plates, glassware, and food.  Apparently, there had just been a diversity event at the restaurant which I thought must have been called something like “A Taste Of Ass”.

No longer having any respect for this restaurant, or any desire to ever return, I want to now share and promote this restaurant to the oil field workers, construction workers, and all males in the area, as the best place to meet and pick up hot young women.

First of all, whether you are 15 years old, or 65 years old, this restaurant on the Dickinson State University campus is open to the public, and you have a right to enter the DSU Student Center building to eat at The Perch restaurant, or attend the Odyssey Cinemas movie theater that is also located in the Student Center building and open to the public.

The restaurant is buffet style, once you pay $10.75 to get in, you can help yourself to the salad bar, desert bar, and hot dish bar.  You have a variety of drinks to choose from, and you can eat and drink as much as you want.

At DSU, like most universities, there are more females than males enrolled at the school.  For most of these females, this is the first time that they have been away from the supervision of their mother and father.  These young ladies are looking to break the rules, try new things, and do some things that they shouldn’t be doing.  Many of them know that at the end of four years when they graduate and have to start a career, they will have to be careful about what they do, but for these four years, this is the time that they can experiment.

This is also one of the few times that young women will not care very much about what a man does for a living, how much money he makes, how much money he has, what kind of car he drives, or what kind of home that he lives in.  These college student women just want to have a good time, have fun, and be entertained.  Oil field workers and construction workers are a perfect match for these young women.

At this DSU diversity event in this restaurant, there were a lot of young Indian women from India.  They were all thin, with very beautiful long dark hair, pretty eyes, and pretty smiles.  These Indian girls are lonely, and eager to make friends.  I know from past experience that Indian girls are a special treat.  They look different, and they taste different, they taste like duck.  They become in-love very quickly, and have sex without any inhibition or holding back.

Also at this DSU diversity event, there were a lesser amount of Asian women.  These Asian women were all thin, with long dark hair, and friendly smiles.  Asian women are very attentive, devoted, and affectionate.  As you have heard, “Asian women love you long time.”

The American college student women that you will meet at The Perch restaurant, they have above average grooming and hygiene.  You can appreciate how clean they smell, and what nice shiny clean hair they have.  Most of these young college student women haven’t gotten fat yet.

Just like the buffet, you can have as many of these young college women as you want, it is only a matter of  your appetite.  I recommend that oil field workers and construction workers go in groups of two or three, so that the friends of the girl that you want to hook up with have someone to be with too.  I recommend having two or three alcohol drinks before you go to dinner at The Perch restaurant so that you won’t have any shyness in meeting the ladies.

Dining At The Best Restaurant In Dickinson, For The 2nd, 3rd And 4th Time

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the beginning of April, I wrote a blog post article titled, “The Best Restaurant In Dickinson, North Dakota Is A Secret”.  In that I article I described my first dining experience, how good the salad bar was, how good the main course was, and what a nice pleasant, clean atmosphere it had.

On my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th visit to this restaurant, I came to appreciate even more, the complete absence of the filth and grotesqueness that is normal for Dickinson.  There were no obese, land whale women paddling their fat arms through the air trying to gain extra thrust and speed towards the restaurant entrance.  There were no meth addict waitresses standing outside the restaurant entrance smoking a cigarette.

Each time that I went to this restaurant, there were clean, healthy looking, nicely and appropriately dressed men and women.  Everyone was very polite, well behaved, and quiet.  No one used bad language, no one yelled across the room, and no one started a fight.

On my 2nd visit, the main course was not memorable.  On my 3rd visit, they served battered fish, with rice pilaf, mixed vegetables, and chicken alfredo.  I am usually scared to eat fish in Dickinson because of its appearance and its smell.  It is hard to get good fish in Dickinson because it has to go through so many different steps in the shipping process to get here.  This time, the fish that I had was very good.

On my 4th visit to this restaurant, the main course was just O.K., but the vegetables and several different kinds of pasta were very good.  I have never been put-off by anything that they have served at this restaurant, and I leave feeling very full and pleased with everything.

For those of you who did not read the first article that I wrote about this restaurant, I can’t publicize or tell very many people about this restaurant, because most of the people in Dickinson behave so badly, that they would ruin this restaurant very quickly.

Update 4/23/19:

Because the dickhead manager on duty, who I believe was Aaron Zummer with Sodexo, let this restaurant run out of silverware, plates, glassware, and food this evening by 7:00 p.m., and he was standing around in a navy blue blazer glad-handing everyone, instead of correcting this shit, this changes everything.

The name of this restaurant is “The Perch”, and it is located on the far east side of the Dickinson State University campus, in the downstairs of the DSU Student Center.

I am now going to tell all of the worst, dirtiest, sloven, over-eating, problem people exactly where this restaurant is, how to get there, that it is all-you-can-eat for only $10.75.

I am going to make flyers for this restaurant, and put them up in the Tiger Truck Stop, Southside Bar, Paragon Bowling Alley, County Line Truck Stop, laundromats, and anywhere there are drunk, vagrant, hoodlum, homeless people.  I am going to pick up homeless, dirty, smelly, drunk, mentally ill people, and drop them off at the DSU Student Center with $10, and tell them that they are welcome to stay for hours.

Fuck you, you dickhead Aaron Zummer.  There could have been DSU students, with no vehicle, with no extra money, who were depending on this place for dinner.  You ruined my dinner.

The Best Restaurant In Dickinson, North Dakota Is A Secret

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

For the past several months, maybe longer, I have not felt very well.  I usually have pain in my stomach when I am awake.  Since there is hardly anything to do and nowhere to go in North Dakota, especially when it is below freezing outside during the winter, and I don’t feel well, I try to sleep most of the time when I am not working.

On the days that I work, I am away from my apartment for at least fifteen hours per day, out in the middle of nowhere.  I take a packaged sandwich, packaged salad, or frozen burrito with me to work, and every so often a sandwich from Subway.  I think that this is one of the reasons why I have stomach pain and don’t feel well, I don’t eat a variety of fresh healthy food.

On Saturday I woke up very late in the afternoon, and I went out to my vehicle to begin taking measurements in order to start making something for it.  I saw my neighbor Matt outside working in his backyard, and I agreed to help him unload a bunch of lumber from his trailer.  Matt is about 54 years old, and he has lived in Dickinson since he was 14 years old.

After Matt and I unloaded his trailer, he wanted to make one more trip to go get some more lumber, and I agreed to help him.  After we loaded his trailer, he asked me if I was hungry, and I said no.  He told me about a place he had been to eat recently, and he had nothing but good things to say about it.  I would not have thought of going there, and I agreed to go with him, I wanted to try it.

When Matt and I arrived at the parking lot of this place, there were very few vehicles outside.  When we entered the restaurant which was large, there were only about four other people dining there at this time.

Since Matt and I are old, the first area that we went to was the salad bar.  This was the best salad bar that I have ever seen in Dickinson because it had a large variety of fresh, expensive ingredients that you do not normally see in Dickinson.  Besides the normal types of vegetables like baby carrots, cucumbers, and lettuce mix, there was spinach, grape tomatoes, okra, pickles, pepperoncini peppers, kalamata olives, fetta cheese, real bacon, and homemade salad dressings.

For people who live in California, Denver, New York, Orlando, Atlanta, or Dallas, you might see a salad bar like this in a nice expensive restaurant, but this is Dickinson, where every restaurant that I have been to won’t even put out grape tomatoes on a salad bar because they are too expensive, and they would never dream of putting out fresh kalamata olives or feta cheese.

As Matt and I ate our salads, we noticed that the only other diners were nice looking, nicely behaved, well-groomed women, something else that you hardly ever see in Dickinson.

Matt and I had several different entrees to choose from, but we each selected the same thing: a couple of thick slices of roast honey ham, buttered peeled steamed baby carrots, several stalks of fresh steamed asparagus topped with a small amount of cheese, and roasted seasoned potatoes.

This entree, and the salad, was by far the best food that I have ever seen or eaten in the six years that I have lived in North Dakota.  The total price for everything including soft drinks was about $12.  I hesitate to tell the price because this might ruin the secret, but I wanted people to know that this didn’t cost $25.

The reason why I am trying to keep this a secret, is because this was the only time ever, ever!, that I didn’t have to sit down and eat with dirt-bag construction workers, oil field trash, and no-good meth addict scum women from Seattle, since moving to Dickinson.

If well behaved people that I know or know of, want to contact me about the whereabouts of this restaurant, I will try to tell a few of them, under the condition that they don’t go blabbing it to everyone.

This is the only place in Dickinson that I have ever been that has a wide variety of fresh, well prepared food.  I am absolutely sick and tired of being around criminal, drug addict, scum of the earth, badly behaving, low class, trashy people that make up the volume of people in Dickinson, and I hope to God, that I can eat at this restaurant a few more times before it is overrun and ruined forever.
