Man Brings Pet Snake To Breakfast At Waffle House

Pretty sure this isn't even close to the strangest thing that’s ever happened in a Waffle House: A man and his pet snake go for breakfast.

Waffle House employee (and TikToker) Fish (@wafflehouselegend) posted a video of an animal encounter he had at the restaurant’s Bowling Green, Kentucky location. The video has received almost 619,000 views and over 116,000 likes in less than 24 hours on the platform.

The video starts with a shot of a snake curled up on a table, then shows a lovely plate of hash browns topped with a melted slice of American cheese. For the snake or the man - I don't know. Then the camera pans to Fish, who does a double take, and asks, “Is that a f-ing snake?” The camera then cuts back to the snake.

One commenter wrote, “all of this is iconically waffle house. the Kraft singles cheese... the snake on the table with the food.” Fish replied, “...this is all accurate.” Waffle House is known for being open 24/7, and having chaotic vibes. By the way - one commenter identified the snake as a ball python.

News coverage of the odd events that happen at Waffle House are often covered in The Daily Dot. They include stories about a worker vaping on the job, a customer who started working behind the counter so they didn’t have to pay the bill, and the classy employees who put syrup on the seats.

Fish (who’s known as a “Waffle House legend,”) said the snake’s name was Kudduluu. “This was definitely one of the weirdest things I’ve ran into at Waffle House, but as a Waffle House employee, you get to see a lot of exciting yet odd interactions. So every night when I walk into those doors, I prepare myself.”

Fish said he loves his job because he doesn't dread coming to work. He just feels like he's at home. Everybody knows everybody and it makes him happy.

A new kind of cruise will be sailing out of Port Miami. Pack extra sunscreen because all of the passengers will be nude.

Nude cruises aren’t new and they are definitely not for everyone. But being out in public in the buff goes back centuries.  Nude advocates include Benjamin Franklin and Henry David Thoreau, who probably would have loved the  buffet on the Lido deck. 

Bare Necessities Tour & Travel has hired Norwegian Cruise Line to host a an annual nude cruise in 2025. The company has chartered similar excursions with Carnival Cruises out of Tampa in recent years, including one scheduled for next February.

“We recently negotiated a 2025 charter with NCL,” said Ken Tiemann, chief operating officer for Bare Necessities. It will be the first charter out of Miami and with Norwegian Cruise Lines.

The 11-day excursion, dubbed the 2025 Big Nude Boat on NCL’s Norwegian Pearl, will depart Miami on February 3, 2025. Stops include Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Castries, St. Lucia. Tickets will go on sale in August, he said. Reservations must be made through Bare Necessities.

The departure location was a big reason for the switch of cruise companies. You can get further and deeper into the Caribbean in seven days from Miami than you can in seven days from Tampa. The company was also looking to appeal to repeat cruisers. “You get some passengers that desire a change of scenery,” Tiemann said.

So, what is a nude cruise?

Bare Necessities trips are for naturists, not kinky swingers. They say they try to stay pure to the values of the American Association of Nude Recreation, (AANR). They are NOT a lifestyle or a swinger cruise.  Tiemann says those types of hedonistic cruises certainly do exist,  but they are really lifestyle cruises and are a different category.

AANR embraces Ben Franklin and Henry Dasid Thoreau’s support of nudity. It reminds people that President John Quincy Adams regularly bathed nude in the Potomac River.  Whether it's your thing or not, they are just offering a cruise to people who prefer not to wear clothes.  So, just you and the high seas - with nothing in between.

Bare Necessities is still organizing their 2024 cruise on the Carnival Pride, which departs Tampa on February 25 and lasts one week. Cheapest fares for the trip is $1,200 to share a double occupancy room. Port taxes are estimated at $150.55 per person. Their first cruise with Carnival was in 1999. Their first with another carrier was in 1991. They have worked with Holland America, and Celebrity Cruises as well.

Future plans? Right now they are focusing on their NCL cruise and look to make that successful. Tiemann said this cruise (2024) with Carnival will be the last one for the near future.

Admit it - we all like to embrace the nudity in our own homes occasionally, right? If your neighbors don't like it, they can close their blinds!

When the ship is docked alongside in port, all passengers must be dressed throughout the ship, including balconies, until the ship leaves port and an announcement is made that nudity is now/again permissible.

The ship provides a self-serve buffet on the Lido deck, which is a clothes-free area. Clothing is required for all meals taken in the dining rooms. Casual attire is fine in all of these venues. Bathrobes are not permitted in the dining room.

Lingerie, fetish-wear, and excessive 'private area' jewelry are not appropriate at any time.

Please sit on a towel at all times while nude, in a G-string, thong, or any time you are bare-bottomed. A fresh beach towel will be provided in your stateroom each day for that purpose.

Displaying yourself nude in front of other ships in port or while port authorities are on board the vessel for clearance is strictly prohibited.

No photographs, videos or electronic images of any person may be taken without the express consent of that individual. “NO PHOTO ZONES” around the pools or in dance venues must be followed to avoid confiscation of photo capturing devices.

Dangerous or rude behavior will not be tolerated at any time.

Any inappropriate touching of personal body parts or those of someone else, overt sexual activity or any solicitation for sexual acts is strictly prohibited, and will NOT be tolerated. You WILL walk the plank!!
