vintageadsSorry, The Roman Orgy refers to what's on the plate, not the people holding it. Then again, depending on how well you tip . . .
I think the phrase "a conglomerate of Roast of Beef Feast" alone makes this contest-worthy. As for the corn, potatoes, and possibly the bananas being anachronistic, please note they do not say "Ancient" Roman.
Magic Time Machine is a chain of restaurants in Texas. It's still around and the Roman Orgy is still available. As long as I lived in Texas, I never got to eat there, sadly. Seems like every time I planned to go something would come up.

Date: 2011-07-21 12:41 am (UTC)When someone orders the Roman Orgy the waiters and waitresses (Who actually wear costumes of various people. I was served by Waldo (from Where's Waldo?), Superman, and Esmeralda (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame) the three times I've gone) don togas and carry the plates in a line screaming out "RO-MAN ORGY! RO-MAN ORGY!"
And when its you're birthday they make you wear balloons on your head and parade you through the restaurant. Each booth has its own theme.

Date: 2011-07-21 03:18 am (UTC)I went to the Magic Time Machine in Addison several times as a kid and loved it, went once as an adult and smirked all the way through a severely mediocre dinner(it was an office party). Our poor waiter was supposed to be Groucho Marx but didn't have the mustache to go along with it.
I remember whenever they brought the Roman Orgy out for a table they would sing The Witchdoctor(novelty song that had OOH-EE-OOH-AH-AH-TING-TANG-WADDA-WADDA-BING-BANG as the chorus). I always wanted to sit in the giant crayon box but never got the chance.
