Now that I know about the Olive Garden flamefest..anyone want to explain kudzu?

[youthere]

I see references to it all the time, what is the joke that I'm missing?
Much appreciated.

3. Kudzu is a chain of restaurants where you can buy Southern dishes for...

roughly $15-$22 per person, depending on the drinks and appetizers.

4. swag started a thread entitled "I am bullish on kudzu. It's going places!"

and it never died. People kept posting to it. It went past 1,000 posts, and eventually a mod locked it.

In truth though, it was just a few posters who kept on kicking it. It was not a community effort. It was not as good as Rev_Acts' "Dupe" thread, which also ran and ran until the admins killed it.

5. I see...Thank you very much. End of the mystery.

I've never heard of the restaraunt, and always thought the references to kudzu were to the invasive plant. Thanks again.

6. The reference *is* to the plant

This is the original thread:

I got a little confused between JVS's post and yours. The link to the original thread helps.

10. There have been three Kudzu threads.

They keep getting locked, and then another one reappears. I believe the third one is still alive. If that one gets locked, undoubtedly Swag will start another one.

Ya can't kill Kudzu.
