Ahh yes, lady and man!
Friday nights I don't really go online. Maybe check my mail when I get home and that's it for the computer for the night. I go for my walk, watch the Yanks, have a rum and Pepsi (Coke has jammed themselves up the Red Sox ass) and go to bed.
Fridays Doodle and I go out to eat, usually Chinese food. I have no idea how I started liking this crap, for years and years I was so resistant to it. Once I got food poised by it and didn't eat it for about 16 years. I wouldn't even be in the same room with it, especially after hearing people say it was chopped cats as the beef.
But suddenly being a cheap bastard, I discovered Chinese buffets because for a few bucks, I can eat until I explode and there is a lot to choose from including American food. I started trying some of the more Chinese dishes and I was hooked. Now I order Chinese take out and everything and have turned into a real pro with Chinese food.
Doodle and I have found this one buffet that only charges $5 a person and most of the time its pretty good. Not bad for $10, you can take the wife out. She's a cheap date and never complains I only spend $10 on her. Sometimes, she even buys! Guys, if you can get the woman to pay for you, its good!
The people at the restaurant are even starting to know us. One night when we were at the register paying, the girl who works there was yelling at her little sonn about age 4 in Chinese when suddenly she looked at Doodle, smiled and tried to make American conversation as best as she could...
"SO..YOU WORKIN'?" the girl asked her kind of loudly. She must have learned a new English phrase and wanted someone to try it out on.
Well, we've all learned over the years, never to ask Doodle about her day at work, because she'll tell you...minute to minute coverage of everything she had to do that day. When I heard that question, I knew there'd be trouble. Doodle begins to give the day's story to this girl who's English vocabulary has five or six words. The girl smiled and nodded a lot, while I went to the car unnoticed. She like us was probably sorry she ever learned that phrase.
The next week we went back and the girl saw us come in. She runs right over and greets us saying, "Ahh yes, lady and man!" and shows us to our table.
She looked at Doodle and said, "WORK GOOD, HUH?" and politely ran for the border! I don't know why!

Sorry Dave, but I'm a Coke drinker, even if I do have to suck it out of a Bostonian's ass (now THERE's an appetizing picture!)
Btw, we're going for Chinese tonight, too. Your buffet reminded me of this place I ate at in Denver... It was called "Buck a Scoop", and it WAS! ;-)
Yeah but the coke you buy there Tim isn't loaded with Red Sox logos on the bottle!!
Somehow the taste suffers!
See Friday night is Chinese night at your house too! Its a tradition!
How did that Buck a Scoop place work?
It was kinda funny as, not only was that the name on the sign, but the picture was this simply drawn hand holding a scoop (somehow that just cracks me up!). The way it worked was, you pointed to something, they scooped it into your styrofoam container, then you pointed to something else and so on. The cashier then counted up the 'scoops', charged you a 'buck a scoop', and that's what you paid (it was some of the worst chinese food I ever ate, to be honest... But it was cheap!)
