    Fine Dining

    C: “Yeah I got problem here with a credit card sale stuck in the system.”
    Me: “Alright, what’s the name of the store please?”
    C: “The Taco Hole.”
    There's a restaurant called "The Pink Taco" in Los Angeles. http://www.pinktaco.com/ A friend has a shirt from there. She wears it whenever she gets in a certain mood, a mood that requires people to freak out when they look at her shirt.

      "Taco Hole"?

      I could no more dine at a place called the Taco Hole than I could at a place called the Fur Burger.

      Although I'm sure the workers at the Fur Burger might be interested in those weasel-fur thongs for the crew.

        So at the moment there’s this wonderful blend of scents in the air that make the office smell like vanilla with a delicate twist of raw ass.
        ahh, so axe has another 'alluring' scent for the males in our world. delightful; yet another scent to nearly render me unconcious.

        two pimp wannabes who can't even grab a penny between themselves; that is just sad.

        i'm thinking, gk, that your misfortune precedes the four horsemen...and the end of the world.

        mac n cheese for you.
        look! it's ghengis khan!
        Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

          Am I the only person who generally feels bad after laughing at a GK post?

          I mean, I like your writing and you're a brilliant person with talent that is being wasted in what is possibly the 7/11 of call centers so I consider myself privileged to read your work. I hope one day to have an autographed book by you and I don't make this statement likely, though you are doubtless tired of hearing it.

          But I also can't stand to see someone else suffering.

          I mean, I like that guy from Colorado who sawed his own arm off too, but I would be just as happy if he hadn't been trapped under that boulder to begin with.

            Oh, yay, it's Monday!

            I probably shouldn't be so happy it's Monday, but I (like so many others) love these posts.

            I am well and truly the harbinger of misfortune, aren’t I?
            No, no, no. If you were truly the HoM, your office would have been declared cursed long ago. No, all of this seems a rather more recent happening. Have you gotten any new co-irkers lately?

            I’d just like to mention that anyone who has recorded a song ( Especially a "novelty" one ) as their answering machine message should be beaten with that answering machine until that answering machine no longer functions and can no longer play back that song.
            I once recorded an answering machine message with my then-husband that had music from The Seventh Guest in the background and was ... somewhat Stepford Wives sounding in tone.

            We had one friend who said he would never call us again, lest he get the answering machine.

            Huh... maybe he wanted to know why you were sorry?

              No, you're not. I guiltily snicker while reading GK's posts.

                Actually there is a rather successful burger place in queenstown New Zealand called Fergburger.

                  To be fair, the fur bikini has a fine history to support it.

                    SC: “So 3 is a package, ok, so, uh, so the odds are, the one ticket is considered like.....You get 3 tickets there……and uh…..ok….ummm….........uh....”

                    Well, they *do* say that lottery is a tax on people who can't do math, so...

                      My office is cursed. Its the only explaination Even after the gas leak, the next day we had the busiest lottery deadline in 2 years. Then the morning after that someone committed suicide on the street next door to our building so anyone leaving, such as myself, exited directly into a crime scene. >.>

                      I think it was the witch doctor from Nunavut that put the curse on your office. Somehow they found out they were being picked on.

                          Like I said in another thread - you would probably make an excellent psychiatric healthcare worker. You could still be the Gravekeeper!

                            I'm not sure what you mean by "excellent" unless that is the word for "single handledly responsibility for a spike in patient suicide rates".

                            Also, I doubt I am the 5th Horsemen. Since "War, Pestilence, Famine and Death" is much snappier and ominous than "War, Pestilence, Famine, Sarcasm and Death". -.-
