Christmas tree 2010
Morons
I rarely eat “fast” food and try to make it policy to not eat “food” that comes in a paper bag. Today was an exception.
The past several weeks have been very busy with work (I save the world, one computer at a time) and today was no different. Having not eaten in almost 8 hours and only enough time to scarf something down within minutes, I stopped at the nearest choke-n-puke in site; the Golden Arches Cafe.
My order was simple: coke, fries, and a burger. I paid the latino at the first window and proceeded to the second.
Let’s recap: coke, fries, and a burger.
The latino at the second window handed over the goods and I was off.
After gnawing down the fries, I started to work on the burger. It wasn’t until I was half through with it that I realized it was a chicken sandwich instead of a burger. Oh well, not a big deal. I ate the thing anyway.
I then saw something that made my day.
The receipt listed a coke, fries, and a burger. The bag contained a coke, fries, and a chicken sandwich.
The receipt was attached to the bag with a sticker that read “double-checked for accuracy”.
’twill be a bountiful harvest
Easter Egg
While watching Star Trek (2009), I noticed something odd. After rewinding, pausing, and then stepping forward one frame at a time, I noticed this:
R2-D2 in the debris above Vulcan. I love easter eggs.
**Note** Apparently I’m behind the times. This was revealed over a year ago. I always was a bit slow at picking things up….
Over the river and through the woods
While going to the mailbox today, I had to drive around a group of kids standing in the middle of the street. Since it rained all night, the streets were wet and I splashed water all over some of the youngsters in the crowd. One of them, an early-teen hispanic girl, seemed to be throwing a bubbling fit over what had just happened. I chuckled, checked the mail, then went on my way.
I couldn’t help myself.
I drove around the block and back onto the same street the kids were standing. Waving happily, I drove right through the puddle and soaked that girl.
It’s supposed to rain on Saturday. I hope I get lots of mail.
