  It's been a while since I've done one of these, so here goes!

1) Super Smash Bros. Brawl is t3h 4w350m3!!!11

2) When I was at Second Cup today, there was a car accident right in front of the place. Somebody hit the parked car of one of the Second Cup customers! Never a dull moment at that place!

3) I'm thinking once I get my big paycheck at the end of the month, it's time to get a new cellphone, since the old one is over four years old, and can barely stay charged through a phone conversation!

4) Had my webcam back up, and to celebrate, I was making moo noises into the microphone.

5) My router is screwed up... again.

6) I have family coming in for Easter on Thursday. I really need to get my place cleaned up.

7) Once again, I was reminded this evening about how FREAKING LOUD my doorbell is!

8) This morning at work, one of our servers went down. The one that held all of the network-based software I designed. Guess whose phone was ringing off the hook with people not being able to get into my programs? :)

9) On Friday, I am treating my family out to Olive Garden. My brother plans to spend as much of my money as he can, to the point where he won't be able to walk out of the restaurant without the assistance of a fork lift.

10) Yay! I'm actually getting a tax refund this year! This is after years of having to owe tons of money due to being self-employed.

11) In 2009, there is going to be a new indoor football team in Wheeling! Yay!

12) Moo.

  It's been a while since I've really "hung out" at Steak n Shake. Anybody who knows me well knows that SnS used to be one of my favourite places to just go and... well... hang out! It hasn't been that way for a while, because some of the servers there haven't really been the best. And it seems that every time I would go there during the week, very few good ones would be working, and I would normally end up getting one of the worse servers. I still go there for lunch on Sundays, because that's when my favourite servers usually work, but normally, that's the only time I go there.

Well, for whatever reason, yesterday evening, I was hungry, and invited Strike to go along with me to Steak n Shake to get a bite to eat. I wasn't planning on staying there for too long, but lo and behold, the two of us actually ended up "hanging out" there for a while. We had a newer server who had maybe been working there for just about a month, and she was also one who had waited on us the last time we had stopped in. She had a pretty good sense of humour about her, so we were exchanging jokes nearly the whole time during our visit there. Which leads into the main topic of this piece.

Strike and I had received several refills of our drinks. He and his water, me and my water and caffeine free diet coke. Oh, and both of us also ordered milkshakes. But for our waters and my cfdcoke, whenever we got a refill, our waitress would bring out a fresh glass with a new straw. Well, we kept using our old straws, and when it came to the milkshakes, Strike doesn't use a straw. Anywho, after all these drinks were downed, we had a pile of unused straws sitting on our table. When our waitress saw all of the excess straws, she joked with us about how we would refuse to use any new straw she gave us, even though it was her job to provide us with new straws. So, we were joking with her about how over time, we would have enough straws to build a raft or something. Then she swore that each time she would check back with us, she would bring us new straws, irregardless of whether or not we got refills. Sure enough, the next time she was around, she put a couple more straws down on the table. And also the next time she walked past our table, she didn't even stop to see how we were doing. She just put some more straws on our table. So, after all of these built up, I said to Strike "Let's build a boat!"

So we got to work. Well, Strike did most of the work on the raft part. He had fashioned some twine out of some of the excess straw wrappers we had, and wove them around a bundle of straws like any raft would be woven. After he had gotten the raft built, I then fashioned a sail by folding up a napkin (we had extra of those as well) and using another straw as a mast, which I positioned between some of the "planks" of the raft. The next time she came around, she just kind of stared at the little boat in amazement. We told her she could have it, and she took it back to the server's area, put it on top of the wall, and shouted back to the cook staff "They built me a boat!"

All in all, a nice fun evening. It seems like SnS is finally getting some decent new waitresses in place, and it may once again become a favourite hangout spot for me. I guess for the next trip out, I'm going to have to teach myself some origami for all of the spare napkins that the waitress left on our table!

  This is T.G.Bob, live from Second Cup Cafe, bringing you this week's WTF Video of the Week! I may post a St. Paddy's Day special one later this evening, but for now, this one will have to do!

Saw this video this past weekend, and just got a kick out of it. Nothing like laughing at others' misfortunes, right? In WTF-ness, this would fall into the category of WTF were they thinking?

Enjoy!
