Random Conciseness

I was at McDonald's tonight...man that stuff is bad for you...and I ordered the McDeal which was the two cheeseburger meal... Anyway I am sitting down and went to put my straw in my drink when I realized that they didn't give me a straw. They were really busy so I didn't think anything of it and went and asked for one.

As I was enjoying my meal I overheard a man next to me and he asked where his straws were. Then the guy with him said, and I quote, "You probably have to ask for those too. Napkins, ketchup, salt...if you want something round here I guess you have to ask for it."

What the crap is his problem? What the crap is our problem? Heaven forbid that if we want something that we have to ask for it. I didn't complain today but I bet if it were a different day I may have and I know I have done so before in similar situations. Where do we get off expecting so much? Is there something wrong in our head?

Well there is with this guy...



For some reason Karim Diab trained for two years to be able to withstand below freezing temperature water for an hour. And he didn't move around to keep warm...nope he stood still and he beat the previous record by 15 minutes. Hats off to you my Russian friend, now that communism is gone you can do whatever you want...and you chose standing in water for an hour. Way to go.

Does anyone else think this guy looks a bit like "Gollum/Smeagal" from LOTR movies?
