Ken Ham is going to be at a benefit dinner. If you want to join him, you’ll have to pay.
$30,000 to sit at a trough with that pig-ignorant liar and fraud Ken Ham? To benefit a ghastly Christian school that promotes ignorance to the children of rich dopes? Jesus, I’m in the wrong business.
I have a counter-offer. Come to Morris, Minnesota and we can have a hearty Midwestern breakfast at Don’s Cafe. I’ll pay since you have to go to all the trouble of getting here. We’ll have a pleasant and interesting conversation, and maybe afterwards I can take you on a tour of a real college, the University of Minnesota Morris.
That’s the best deal I’ve got. I’ll also apologize for the fact that the USA has become the Upside-Down.
Drop me an email and let me know when you’re coming down.
I haven’t been there in a while, but I highly recommend the veggie omelete. They are best known for their awesome thick slices of homemade bread, so the french toast is fantastic. There’s also a lunch menu — students rave about their milkshakes.
All the way from South Australia at that. Whoah! That is generous! (You did include my airfare in that offer yeah? ;-) )
OTOH, you’re safe PZ as with my social media and record I’ve got no chance of ever being allowed in* and nor would I risk a trip there whilst Trump reigns.
But I’d love to see you in Oz if youever come down my way and be happy to at least shout you a meal and a drink & give you a tour of Beliar NP and our local native flora FWIW.

I presume the biscuits and gravy are on the other side of the menu, along with the Bottomless Cup of Coffee.

James 2:24
Also missing from menu: Corned Beef Hash, Chicken Fried Steak!
There is country-fried stuff on the lunch and sandwich menus, but please, this is the upper midwest, not the south. Also, I’m watching my diet, do you want to kill me? Give Ken Ham the bottomless pot of fried grease, OK?
That’s quite the dream breakfast (ideally next Monday, round-the-sun day) and infinitely more interesting than the Hammy nonsense. (Though I wouldn’t dare under the current regime, in case I were to misplace a comma or something in my paperwork and get ICEd on arrival; my vanishingly tiny social media presence wouldn’t pass scrutiny either.)
I’d bring something UKnian (whisky without an “e” maybe?), and I think I’d try the french toast :-)
I assume that’s the Providence Academy in Plymouth, MN. I thought better of them. (not much better, but jeez…Ham?)
What’s up with the weird pricing? $22,786? $11,393?
(disambiguation: coincidentally my round-the-sun day)
Ham’s prices are pretty eye-watering; there’s clearly a truly staggering amount of money in the corporate activities of Messrs. Snakeoil & Grift.
Eggs and bacon walked into a bar. The bartender said, “Sorry, we don’t serve breakfast.” (Yeah, I stole that from Annie Perkins, who probably stole it from somewhere.)
Are they going to have entertainment with Ham? Perhaps I could get on the program with this Rachel & Griffin number.
I’m guessing the “Don” on the Don’s Cafe menu isn’t the one we loathe, although I suspect he…the loathed Don…is toast. (He’d hate being “French toast”. Gotta be “American toast”.)
I’ll see myself out now…
Appreciate the offer, PZ but I think I have to decline.
Minnesota has been a scary place lately (FYI I’m white as can be). Maybe we could meet up for breakfast in the middle. I’m in Washington state soooo….western Montana or Idaho?
Hmm…
Actually, never mind. Thoughtful of you though.
The preferred $30,000 dish at the providence academy dinner will be half-baked him with trichinosis gravy as prepared by Roadkill Fracking Kennedy Jr. so everyone can have a brain worm like his!
I’m taking this deal! I’ll be in touch.
I’ll have either the egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; or spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam. Please.
The veggie omelet sounds delicious, but with 3 eggs it sounds more a like full day’s meal for me than just breakfast!
flange, heh. But this is Ham with Hollandaise.
That breakfast menu not only looks good, it looks cheap. I don’t think even the local Denny’s has prices that low anymore where I live.
Bacon OR sausage and egg? Nah, you need both. And some mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans and most importantly a slice of black pudding. If you really need to have some influence from the colonies, a couple of hash browns, but most English breakfast purists will look askance at that. And a pot of strong tea to go with it.
Do they still have those giant caramel rolls? Those were my favorite as a kid.
I think so. But I don’t want the blood sugar spike associated with them, so I stick to a nice veggie meal.
For the same reason, I have never had their milkshakes. They scare me.
Hard pass on wasting 30 grand on something not worth stomaching over.
One wonders how this… “operation”… would fare in Japan — which has just ordered the dissolution of the Unification Church as a church:
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/04/japan/crime-legal/unification-church-ruling/
in part due to the high-pressure “donation” tactics.
(Aside: SteveO, this is one of the reasons that I don’t and never have used “social media.” No use of social media = nothing to disclose! Or I could just say “I’m still following COVID guidelines and keeping six feet away from social media.” It’s hard to type or move a mouse from six feet away from the keyboard/mouse.)
