The Not Happy Thread

No clowns, but servers dressed in fancy shirts (often with hats). While non of these are from my home town Pinchos is the most popular restaurant around here. Very gimmicky but I love the place. Oh, and popcorn as starters!

 

That is so cool! I have never seen anywhere like that.

 

It's a Swedish restaurant chain that can only be found in Scandinavia thus far.

It's special, not only because of the theme, but because you order your food in an app and the goal is to avoid paper money. Sweden as a whole prefers to pay with card, so it's only natural for us. Tourists hates it, apparently. But ordering in an app lets you look at the food and it's easier to order extra things while you're eating. All their dishes are appetizers so you can start ordering a few things and add as your going without having to wait for someone to take your order.

 

Damn, just did. Now I can't unsee that. Nobody should put a big red button in front of me with a note saying, "Whatever you do, don't press this big red button!" The world would come to a very ignominious and rapid end.

 

Ooh, pick me! I have specialist skills in poisoning unwanted guests, insulting patrons and just generally getting in the way.

 

Tame....

 

I can give you plenty of things you shouldn't google, but I am not
that mean.

 

I wouldn't want to play that game with you, I don't know which would be worse, the horror of losing or the shame of winning

 

call it "research"

 

Ok, boss. No clowns. No clowns! *makes notes*

 

* Casts unicycle dramatically into the sea. *

 

* Gets back into the car along with Bozo, Doink, Chuckles, Boffo, Krusty, Harpo, Noodles, Bam-Bam, Cookie, Buttons, Weary Willie, Kinko, Chuckles, and Pennywise. *

 

There's always Uncle Knuckle's Chuckle Bunker!

 

I used to date a murderous clown. I'm so over children's birthday parties by now!

Weary Willie and Kinko sounds like nice fellas, though!

 

If I were a chef, I'd probably cause an outbreak.

 

Kinko is from an old comedy song:

Spoiler: Trigger Warning: Child abuse

Back in the 80s there was a comedy radio show called "Dr. Demento" that ran novelty songs. One of them was about "Kinko, the Kid Loving Clown. It's obliquely about a clown who sexually abuses and murders children, so don't go beyond the next spoiler if you don't want to listen to it. It's a youtube link to the original song.

Spoiler: Song about a clown abusing kids, don't click if that's an issue

 

Camping trip ended early. Ah well. The beauties of being an adult.

One of my friends has a brat, a very curious one at that which makes him cool, but still a brat. Anyway, the kiddo tells me something, he says "I can't wait to grow up!" and I laughed lightly. Then it hit me - this same scene happened when I was a rugrat and the adult at that time did just what I did. By Hades frozen nipple I'm getting old.

 

Cool, so first interview for a paid position done, and it seemed to go well. Feedback: strong passion and interest, great time management skills. Failed because of lack of administrative experience. So 3 years of working full time as an office ADMINISTRATOR aren't enough for an INTERNSHIP, apparently. At least they were really kind about it and gave me a personal response, unlike so many... so they're nice people. I'll go and bury myself now.

 

I know, man. The horror. At least I'm old enough to drink myself into a coma, so that's a plus.

Thinking now....I should've put this in the happiness thread. Heh.

 

My new career path/retirement plan. Worked for my grandpa....

 

Me: Done with work!

Her: Me too!

Me: Dinner out?

Her: Okay!

Dinner time: Happy chatting!

Walking home: Happy chatting!

In the front door.

Her: Silent hatred...LOUD silent hatred....

I dunno, think I'll drink myself to death. At least that makes sense.

 

Because what's easier, noting that the bathroom light is on when you're standing next to it and just flicking the switch off, or going into the other room to inform your spouse that he left the light on, walking back, and waiting for him to come and rectify his error...

Fuckit, I need another drink (and some heroin or something)
