What he said
“Does the China Star Buffet deserve 3.4 stars? I'm gonna say no. This is a very average buffet. I'd give it two and a half stars.”
“I'm not gooning. I don't know what's wrong with it. It just doesn't taste right. This isn't the goon I know.”
“It was like biting into a rubber band.”
“I got this fish thing. Just as I expected. Dry as Fuck.”
“That's a good mushroom if I've ever seen one.”
