Do you speak a language other than hostility?

Um.

I used to know some Latin, but I forgot it years ago.

ETA: Not that Z3 can't speak for himself or present his own defense perfectly well, but dude is my friend IRL so I'm gonna speak up if I think he's getting unfairly piled on.


Wait.

Z3 isn't Zurtok?

Whoopsie.   :lulz:

TGRR,

Uh, no, that would probably get you a lower tip.
Sure the waiter may be a nice person, but I don't know them, there is no reason for them to be touching me at all.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

man, I would pretty much starve to death if I were allergic to onions.

Me too. They're not just a seasoning or a vegetable; they're a way of life.

Whole Foods is in Nebraska, and they carry wild salmon. They have these things these days called "Freezers", they're amazing, they allow you to ship perishables all over the world.

Did you really just recommend frozen fish?


I'd suggest that he look into local, native species like Bluegills, Rock Bass, Sunfish, and Perch.

Yea, I probably wouldn't give a lower tip based on that alone, but I wouldn't give a higher tip based on that either. I get that it's supposed to inspire some kind of personal connection, but it'd probably just inspire a "why the fuck is this person touching me" feeling. Of course, it would be a little different if I was a regular somewhere and it was a waiter/waitress I was fairly acquainted with
There's no sun shine coming through her ass, if you are sure of your penis.

Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.

If there is no order in your sexual life it may be difficult to stay with a whole skin.

It would also be really different if she had big tits.

The thing about people with food allergies asking with each new dish irritated me because my best friend has a food allergy, and she does ask about every dish simply because if the chef or the server makes a mistake or forgets one time, IT WILL KILL HER. She once didn't think to ask about a "peanut" dish in the cafeteria at work because she assumed it was actually made with peanuts, but it turned out to be mixed chopped nuts and she went into anaphylactic shock in the cafeteria and had to spend the rest of the day in the ER. She's just damn lucky she works in a hospital, so she was already there when it happened. It's a little thing worth double-checking about.

I take food allergies very seriously as a server since I suffer from them myself. When people ask me to hold something on an entree, I ALWAYS ask if it's an allergy because if so, the chef needs to be aware so he can go about preparing the food in a different location with different tools away from the allergen. Plus, it gives the customer a peace of mind knowing that I took that extra step, allergy or no.

WTF? HELL NO. DO NOT TOUCH EVER. EVER. EVER. I do accidentally brush tables sometimes, but I work in a small place. Just say your sorry, they're usually cool with it, and move on. That's it. No intentional touching EVAR.

If you think the "fresh" fish you buy in the store hasn't been frozen, you're woefully ignorant. Even local species, often right on the boat. And frankly, the fact that it's frozen almost as soon as it's caught it what keeps it so fresh and tasty, not to mention pleasantly parasite-free. Unless you actually live in a fishing town, the odds that you're getting fish that's never been frozen anywhere are incredibly low. Hell, even in a fishing town. Fish destined for sushi is ALWAYS frozen on the boat.

Have you ever carved up a fresh-caught salmon? Until your firsthand vision of roundworms wriggling through the flesh of your never-been-frozen wild salmon, you may not fully appreciate the joy of freezing your catch.

Before we play the game of "what makes you think you know what I've done", can we just agree that local is better than imported in terms of quality?

Sure. Well, much of the time... ship-frozen Pacific salmon from Alaska is going to taste pretty much exactly the same whether you eat it in Alaska or Nebraska.

I'm just sick of your seemingly unending game of "I know food better than you do". Fuck, dude. Give it up already.  :lulz:
