All over, people are suffering, persevering, and making their dreams come true. Somewhere in the universe, The Local Nutcase is reconsidering what his blog stands for. Where is the beer?

The Absurdist Comedy That Was My Lunch

So, E3 and I went to lunch today at the Loophole (home of my famous Mushroom Fiasco). We have the same waiter, whatever his name was. Dude with a do-rag on 24-7. So, E3 and I order Dr Peppers and two orders of fish-and-chips. Lunch goes downhill from here.

12:50PM After a good while, the waiter comes over and brings one order of fish-and-chips, places it in front of E3, and walks away. No silverware has been provided at this point. We also notice at this time the chips are actual potato chips.

1:00 E3 asks for silverware, to which the waiter picks up our glasses (still half full of dr pepper) and brings us back tea.

1:05 The waiter comes over and says, "Hey, sorry man, its gonna be about five more minutes, we had to change the tape in the register." And walks away, as if this statement needed no explanation.

1:10 Waiter finally brings my food. E3 asks if we can get some dr peppers. Waiter immediately brings us....Thats right! silverware. IM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

1:25 Eventually, we get dr peppers, and the waiter brings us the check. I pay for the both of us, with cash.

1:27 Waiter comes over and asks if Id like change. I say, "Yeah, thatd be great."

1:30 Waiter walks over, tells us to have a great day, and walks away, crumpling up my receipt and pitching it in the trash.

1:35 (on the way home) I say to E3, "I hate that guy."
