Last night was an epic Waffle House venture with me, AC, Danger Dan, and Jason. Jason doesn't get a nickname.
First there was unintelligent intelligent negro. Jason came up with the name. I think. He heard me whining about not having enough room to put my eggs on the table and sorta invited himself into our conversation for the next 5 minutes. And within that 5 minutes he harked on me for being a vegetarian, for not liking things to suffer...and then he told me that in order to get eggs, the farmers had to force the chickens to have sex, and thus, suffer. I tried to argue that eggs were simply ovulation and I could rationalize eating them because it was sorta like a period... The chickens aren't using the eggs, I might as well. But no. Chickens have to have sex to have eggs. Kay. Not going to argue with a man that's 3 times my size.
Then he started harking on me about eating bread. I countered by saying that I hate plants, so I don't mind killing them. And then he started lecturing me on how without plants, there'd be no air. I tried to correct him by telling him that we'd still have air because, you know, most of the oxygen is produced by the photosynthesizing shit in the ocean anyway... He got very serious and told me that I was wrong, that only plants-not trees, mind you- produce oxygen. And to top it off, the reason I should listen to his supreme knowledge was because he was studying physics. That's when I burst out laughing and just shook my head. Jason just sorta looked at me after the guy walked away like, "OMG...WTF?" Yeah, I didn't quite understand what had just happened either.
Then there was the waitress. She was fucking hilarious. We told her that AC and DD were a couple, and the rest of the night she referred to them in every possible way as gay. Along with other names, she called them Coconuts, a name that has since been stuck to AC, and also fruitcakes, which is now DD's pet name. Good times, good times. Can't wait to go back there.

I've heard intelligent arguments for both sides, but I'd definitely have to agree with you here. Besides, the chickens don't actually have to be forced to have sex a great deal of the time.

They don't have to have sex at all. BimR is right. The eggs people typically eat are unfertilized (barring those eggs I was served in China that had tiny unhatched chicks inside them....).

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?
Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

I came up with unintelligent intelligent negro as his name.  But yes, his conversation was awesome. But more importantly the waitress: She comes up and asks what we're having to drink, and BimR & Jason order water and coffee. Then DD orders OJ & water, which is oddly what I want, so I said, "Actually, I'll get the same exact thing." So Jason starts laughing. The waitress looks at us and says, "Well aren't you two a pair of (split second pause as she realizes she can't call us faggots) coconuts." Jason gives me a confused look. She leaves. We all bust out laughing our asses off. She comes back later to take our order after hearing us laugh about it, takes Jason & BimR's orders, turns to us and asks "What about for you two fruitcakes?" Which is when we all broke out laughing again, and the jokes just started flying for the rest of the night.

Hell no! She wouldn't have said anything if me and Jason hadn't been egging her on. We were all just joking around anyway. She got pretty decent tips from us all. She was super nice and super fun. I hope she's there the next time I go there.

What's funny about that? I applaud her hiring.
And everybody's dumb sometimes (or all the time). That small bit of exposed skin could've been avoided, but hell, there's nothing morally wrong about it...

But we have one already. The Playground, IIRC.

Only around two hours left of my 14 hour shift. Then a bus ride home and ready to wake up at 5:30 to take another ride back here.

After a search, I can't find any online translators that can translate Finnish to English. I mean, I've never seen one that does too well for more than one or two words that I stumble on when I'm trying to read Swedish or Spanish, but geez. When looking for a copy or The Kalevala on amazon, it also offered to send me a book with CDs designed to teach someone to speak Finnish. For 10 bucks. I'm debating if my inability to walk away from something I feel is making a direct challenge to me is going break me  .
