Unemployment Takeout

by Derek on January 19th, 2011
Unemployment Takeout

There’s a diner I used to go to all the time because they had decent burgers and also curly fries. I don’t live as closed to it as I used to which means I’ve only gone there maybe twice in the past two years. Yesterday I finally decided to cave in on a curly fries craving I’ve been carrying around for a while. I’ve always known that takeout is a lot more expensive than making your own food, but some reason this time it really felt dramatically different. Possibly because I know that hamburger meat and potatoes are super duper uber cheap.

KFC Double Down

KFC Double Down

In case you haven’t heard, KFC now has a “sandwich” where instead of bread it’s two pieces of chicken. A friend at work yesterday endeavored to eat this horrible monstrosity. I picture a future where no longer do we put cheese inside pizza crust, but we replace the entire crust with cheese.

Pointless Arguing

by Derek on January 14th, 2010
Pointless Arguing

Ever met someone who argues for no apparent reason, and has no personal stake in the pointless argument they started?

Oh and I decided yesterday to just go ahead and make that Twitter for stuff I say in my sleep. It won’t update often, but it’s there. It’ll be a kind of companion piece to my comic. If you’re on Twitter you can add me, but don’t expect me to be replying to anything because I don’t really have any intention of using it in that way. http://www.twitter.com/isaidinmysleep

Food Line

Food Line

I went to my usual Mexican takeout place yesterday and the line must’ve been eight people long. I was really dead set on Mexican food so I waited. Seriously though it was the longest I’ve ever seen the line. Is it the weather that’s making people go get takeout Mexican food? A couple came in and asked if the food was worth the wait. My burrito wasn’t wrapped very cleanly so it fell apart quickly but it still tasted good. Yum.

Photo – Grab N’ Go Bamn

Photo – Grab N’ Go Bamn

I knew that this place had “Bam” in its name somehow but I didn’t know they spelled it this way. This is one of those old fashioned automatic food places like in old film noir where you pay and get the hot meal out of the wall of different compartments. So it’s stuff like hot dogs, french fries and whatnot. Still haven’t eaten anything from there yet.

They Just Like Mexican

They Just Like Mexican

Mexican place I go to seems to be a favorite of the local fire department, because it’s often there late-ish at night.

I Went There Once

by Derek on October 5th, 2007
I Went There Once

I wish I could take credit for that punchline, but I swiped it from the Michael Keaton movie “Johnny Dangerously.” I used to work with people who would quote that movie relentlessly. I believe the original line was something like “My grandmother kit me once. Once.” The other one being “It’s an .88 magnum, it shoots through schools…” So far as I know a “Mr. Wok n’ Roll” doesn’t exist, but it’s precisely the type of restaurant name that makes me walk in the other direction.

EDIT: Turns out there is no “Mr. Wok n’ Roll” There is however a chain called “Wok n’ Roll” which I can’t remember ever seeing. But a quick Google search reveals an entire list of really cheesy sounding Chinese restaurants. My favorites are: “Wok of flame” , “Wok on Fire” and “Wok on the Wild Side.” Remind me to never go to any of these places.

Just Take It All

Just Take It All

I did this to a friend this past weekend. I was figuring that it’d be worse to unravel his burrito and mess it all up than to take a bite to see if it was the right one or not. Turns out they got the order wrong and they were both exactly the same. Woops.

Small Pork Fried Rice

by Derek on June 14th, 2007
Small Pork Fried Rice

Barclay in his first episode on Star Trek:TNG said “I am the guy who writes down things to remember to say when there’s a party, and then when he finally gets there, he winds up alone, in the corner, trying to look comfortable examining a potted plant.” I’ve had my share of bad parties, but I’m mostly thinking about the first part here, because I think things I’m going to say way in advance whenever possible. Yes, I am the epitome of “You’ve been waiting all day to say that haven’t you?” Except usually it’s not something so witty or a new word that I’ve learned.

But yes, I was going to my usual Chinese takeout place thinking of “small pork fried rice” and instead ended up first saying “smork pall fried rice.” If I had said it on the spot without thinking it before I can’t say that I’d have a better chance of not saying that.
