I'm waiting for the Garrison Keillor version. Don Hon was never much of a singer.

Ho hater.

old Dixie down, and the people were singing...

   Careful, or that cosmic motherfucker will make it the Joan Baez version in your head.

Said in the voice of Michael York: Sir! I resist the necessary implication that such forces are yet more sadistic than previously suspected! Good day! Sir!


And all the people were singin'
They went
Laaaaaa, la-la-la-laaaaaa
La-la, la-la
La-la-la-laaaaaa

   I've no time for such foolishness!

What in the FUCK...

Whipped into a Sonic for a decadent burger. I noticed they had reinstalled the little stainless steel counter tops at each car stall. They are convenient for leaving trash (or coin tips) on before you leave and most importantly, gives the carhop a place to set your food down instead of cramming it all into your car via a bag.

So, I thought they were correcting their error by bringing back a little shelf space convenience both for the employee and the patron. Wrong. Turns out I am merely in a test area.

A few minutes later, I discover what the "test" is. A fucking drone flies into a hover position over the stainless steel shelf and drops off my burger then buzzes away without so much as a "fuck you."

I'm torn about drone tech. Sure, it's fun, but this is such overkill. For what? So they don't have to pay for as many carhop hours? I've heard of restaurants playing with the idea, and everyone has heard of Amazon's testing. But just to fly a few feet with a goddamn burger?!

Apparently, if you order a drink or if your order is over a weight limit, you are guaranteed to NOT get delivery by the "Sonic Buddy."

Christ on corny dog.  I swear CEOs have too much time on their hands and the bean counters are always trying to shave off a human being's need for some damned working hours.

Anyway, they are pissed at me now. I complained about needing some ketchup and when they dutifully sent three packets view drone, I gently reached out and plucked the little airship from the air and placed it upside down on the passenger seat and scooted on out of there.

Hey, as far as they know, it flew away.

I was reading your post and made the mistake of taking a drink just as I reached this part and actually spit most of it out as I laughed. Thank you for this- best laugh of the day. This is what makes Bellgab a great place to visit. Now I need to change my shirt.  ;D

You're always welcome, pyewacket. Thanks for taking the time to read my words and for tolerating my typographical errors. I later noticed a few brain chillers in that wall of text.

So sorry about the spew reaction and shirt.  :(

But it could not be avoided.  :D

You're probably safest with water. From a sippy cup.

Never apologize for giving a person a good, honest, laugh at the silly things we encounter in this life. It helps keep us a little saner... although some of us are drawn to the wackier elements like moths to a flame.

I quite liked your writter's voice and didn't notice any annoying errors. Sometimes a less formal, conversational style fits the topic much better than polished prose. I can see that you'd be a good sparring partner in written jibes and jokes. Paladin1991 is also good at wordplay.

I'll keep the sippy cup in mind- or maybe a straw.

I enjoy your brand of humor and suspect you're far and beyond old Barney.  ;)

You kill me Cam, and I die happy.   8)  Laughing my face off at this.

It's lengthy, but please watch this. Anyone still think keeping these magnificent creatures imprisoned a good thing?

Continuing in John Wayne fashion:  Sorry 'bout killin' ya over and over, little messiah. That was never my intent. You're one hell of a woman to put up with such nonsense as repeated death and resurrection. Have some whiskey. It's on me.

   Food Poisoning. The type that makes you lose 7 pounds in 30 hours. The type that has lead to 30+ trips to the loo in that time frame.

    Trying to sleep, but from noon to 6:30 pm, a steady stream of news copters over my house as they get their all important aerial shots of the courthouse for Tsarnaev verdict.

Holy shit!  Bro you have got to stay hydrated and max out potassium intake.  If you can't keep these fluids down or in, you might need to consider a trip to the 'mergency ward.  You got anybody near by to give you an assist?

   My sister dropped off 8 bottles of Gatorade late last night and I drank 5 of them since Midnight. Feeling a lot better/stronger now compared to how I felt yesterday afternoon. And the Gatorade is staying down, so things are improving.

Thank you, EC's sister.  We're rather fond of the guy around here.

Keep getting better, Eddie Coyle.  Food poisoning is a miserable beeyatch.

  Bless you ;), my sister is responsible for my Lazarus-like revival today. Gatorade and Peeps(75% off this week!) are now my exclusive diet from this point on. I don't trust solid foods anymore.

    She and her husband have roughly 50 live Pearl Jam albums between them. That comes close to negating the life saving Gatorade delivery. Thankfully, none of Vedder's warbling "yarl" to be heard.

Virvana must be coming because I've heard at least a couple tunes a day on the radio the past couple weeks

  Cobain's anniversary always leads to an uptick. "Grunge" is now "classic" rock as well. Which means tired playlists get an injection of songs that have been overplayed since 1991.
