I Called In Sick Today

[speedz99 145]

Well that is easy to make, what do you want? I'm sure I can whip up an easy recipe for you.

Uh...I don't know. Something very spicy, maybe that can be made solely in a cast iron pan, probably including shrimp and sausage?

Have you ever been to a Kentacohut?

I've not been to one that included a Hut, which is fine, as I'd never get anything from that portion of the restaurant.

You like Jambalaya? Takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

I do...the wiki on the cajun version of jambalaya looks pretty awesome...but it looks like closer to two hours. And hour I could deal with, but two might be a bit much.

[speedz99 145]

So I need to leave in about 20 minutes...am I to assume Guapo is in his lab, working hard on a recipe for me?

What?

[speedz99 145]

What?

That really speaks to me.Clock is ticking. Maybe I should just go back to the KFC/TB plan. Or the cheesesteak plan. Damnit.FYI, and I can't imagine this will be a surprise, I drank way too much coffee today.

[El Guapo 8]

Shit, sorry. Had to take a call.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-...ipe2/index.htmlHere is one, but I do it differently. Don't used duck, use chicken or pork shoulder.

So Kayla, the girl I've been with for ~10 months now, just had a good friend of hers die from a heroin OD. (Note: I am now Hardcore by Proxy.) She asked me to come to dinner with her and all her friends after the funeral yesterday, and, despite my best instincts, I agreed. I hate almost all of her friends. They're ****ing faggots. Since Kayla and her ex-boyfriend (heretofore: the Dude) broke up, he's been an ass. He's kept it together for a few weeks or months at a time, but then he'll just go off on her at a party and harass her in front of people or something, or send her a series of mean text messages at 3AM, or call her 20 times in a row at 4AM, or whatever. I told Kayla I wanted her to be friends with the Dude, and I was going to do my best to stay out of that part of her life. Hell, they had been together 5 years or something, so it only seemed natural. But every time I would find out the Dude lit her up in front of their mutual friends, I would get more and more and more and more and more angry, not just at the Dude, but at the friends. What the fuck is wrong with you people that you're letting this happen? Oh, I know: you're all god damned cowards. "I just don't want to get involved." Fuk u. Die. You can stay uninvolved when there are two legitimate sides, but when one party calls the other party a whore in front of 30 people (among other things) and kicks her out of the house (nevermind that she was invited), reducing her to tears, maybe it's time you intervene a little, huh?So I hate these people. She tried to keep most of this from me, but one night a few months ago, after the Dude stepped waaaaay over the line, she came back to my place in tears, and explained what happened. She had the good judgment to refuse to tell me where he was, so I threatened him via TracFone. I told him that if he pulled anything like that again, I would put him in the hospital. And he was at the dinner. After about an hour, he'd had a few drinks and he started running his mouth. We sat as far away from him as possible -- come on, somebody just died -- but he kept sliding our way. Kayla is a good girl. She knows why I was staying out of the whole Dude/Kayla stuff, and that it wasn't easy. She knew I had threatened him. She also knew that if the shoe were on the other foot, she would have lost her shit months ago. She was fine when I told her I was going to threaten to hospitalize him, and when I looked at her before the Dude engaged us, she just rolled her eyes and nodded.I don't remember exactly what Dude said, but I was deflecting as best I could. After a few minutes, it became very clear, noting his pinpoint pupils, he was more than just drunk. Really? Are you kidding me? Your friend just overdosed, and you're... really? But, sure, fine, you've had a rough few days. And then he called Kayla a bitch. So I reminded him of my previous threat, at which point he -- I swear to God -- spit at her. *****(momentary lapse of consciousness)*****(shrug) Well, what would you guys have done?

[El Guapo 8]

I would have drug her out of there. I would have wanted to hit him.

[Tactical Bear 3]

That really speaks to me.

Despite its silly nature, it's a shockingly great song. I'm at the Pizza Hut (What?)I'm at the Taco Bell (What?)I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco BellI'm at the Pizza Hut (What?)I'm at the Taco Bell (Naw)I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco BellWait... we're at the Pizza Hut (What?)We're at the Taco Bell (What?)We're at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco BellWe at the Pizza Hut (No...)We at the Pizza Hut (No...)We at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco BellIt's obviously a brilliant post-modern critique of consumerism. Or just an awesome song about Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants. (Hint: the latter)JeffStrat, have you been to the KenTacoHut in Overland Park? I lived, like, 5 minutes from this place. We went there every Friday for three years.

You would not have hit him?

[ShakeZuma 585]

guapo's reaction is weird. I'm hoping you crushed his fucking face. have you seen drive yet? that. I would have done that.

[El Guapo 8]

I want to hit people a lot. I just never do it. Apparently I have too much self control. Unless I am really drunk and with my best friend, then apparently I want to fight. Him, not randoms. I honestly, don't know why.

[Tactical Bear 3]

I have not seen Drive. And thank you for verifying that Guapomole's reaction was odd. (For the record: I doubt Guapo actually feels that way. Seriously, based on what I know about Guap, I can't imagine a situation in which Guapo would not be skirting jail-time after his woman was spit on. Maybe, if there are kids and family and stuff... but in my situation? No way Guapo would have managed to turn the other cheek.)

A man calls your wife a whore, a bitch, and then spits in her face. Your initial impulse is to... escort her from the premises?

[K_dense 3]

I am pretty sure that 'dude' gets punked in the face even before he has a chance to spit. wow, my blood is boiling and then I see him spit on my woman. That elevates it to Joe Pesci 'Casino , stabbed in the neck with a pencil' range. And thats not saying I whip everyone and am badass, but that would put me over the edge.My sisters ex had been ****ing with her and causing my family stress dealing with all his nut job sessions.... I finally called him up and said "look man, let it go and move on. If I hear about you causing my family any problems then we are going to have lunch". He called the cops saying I implied bodily harm, which my sister said would happen. At that point I made up my mind to stand by words and do what I said. Sure enough he tested me within 3 months. Actually it didnt take that long but the first few were kind of small time and I didnt want to blow up over calling my sis a bitch. Then he proceeds to text my mother and call her a whore. Boom. that was the trigger. I drove the two hours to SE Missouri and took him to lunch.We had the best time, No Burger King or Denny's for us, we went to five course, valet parking, Kobe steak, linen napkins, guy in the bathroom handing you a warm towel lunch.no more hasslethe original reason for getting on here is because i called in sick. Pancreatitis was my excuse. I wished I was dead going thru that. Anyone ever use that one to get out of work?

I responded as I was closing up my office and read that wrong. Some how I was thinking what would I have done if this guy showed up high to this dinner and got belligerent. Re-reading, not sure how I got that.Ya, he comes at my wife calls her that, spits on her. He is eating teeth, and I am probably getting arrested. I guess more what I was trying to get at is, I probably would not have let it get to that. We would have been out of there before that happened. Also, these "friends" just lost someone. I am not sure if kicking this guys ass in front of his friends would be good for them or cause more harm.

TB, a moderate to severe beating is definitely in order (although I am not physically imposing or skilled in the arts of war so I would be looking for a blunt object to hit him with).Dread,I don't trust Indy to win 3 games. I think it's going to take 1-15 to get Luck.....and I think Miami could do it. Matt Moore is awful. Tony Sparano should be the one who gets leveled by his own player and blows out his knee. You get the ball with 1:14 left in the half down 8 points and you take a knee? WTF? You could ACT LIKE A MAN. You're 0-4, what do you have to lose exactly? It's unbelievable to me that a NFL head coach could be such a ****ing pussy. Sorry for the Dolphins rant.I've been to a Kentacohut but like Speedz I would never, ever get the Pizza Hut food. Yuck. Went to a Peruvian restaurant before the game. Had Lomo Saltado (beef strips cooked in soy sauce served over rice and french fries all mixed together). Amazing. Yeah, I'm still fat.

[qyayqi 11]

(shrug) Well, what would you guys have done?

[loogie 115]

For a smart guy, you sure hang out with some stupid people.EDIT - That was rude.

[mk 11]

That reminds me, I've got some steak strips malingering in the coolbox. Any suggestions what to do with them that isn't a sandwich?

Is a taco a sandwich?

(shrug) Well, what would you guys have done?

What now? Let me tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple of hard, pipe-hitting niggas to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. [to Dude] You hear me talking, hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight.

[speedz99 145]

Shit, sorry. Had to take a call.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-...ipe2/index.htmlHere is one, but I do it differently. Don't used duck, use chicken or pork shoulder.

But I love duck. I'll make that the next time I have two hours to cook...so, probably not for a long enough time to have forgotten about it.

What the fuck is wrong with you people that you're letting this happen? And then he called Kayla a bitch. So I reminded him of my previous threat, at which point he -- I swear to God -- spit at her. (shrug) Well, what would you guys have done?

Haha, funny he spit at her, not you. It's weird that people like that even exist. I would beat the shit out of him, then make it very clear to Kayla's male friends that if they ever let him talk to her like that again, I'm coming for them next.

We had the best time, No Burger King or Denny's for us, we went to five course, valet parking, Kobe steak, linen napkins, guy in the bathroom handing you a warm towel lunch.

I've not heard this...shit...metaphor? Not metaphor. Parable? No, not parable. Uh...there's something else that I can't come up with.

the original reason for getting on here is because i called in sick. Pancreatitis was my excuse. I wished I was dead going thru that. Anyone ever use that one to get out of work?

No...but if you use that don't you have to be committed to multiple days out of work?

i also was confused by K Dense's 'take him to a fancy lunch' line. i didnt get it. i never heard it. i dont like it.after class today i'm heading out to nebraska furniture mart. i need a new book shelf. they have a nice selection out there and i dont foresee any problems finding exactly what i'm looking for - which is a series of shelves that can hold books and other things.the nbf is out by the Kansas Speedway. not that i like nascar, but i'm glad its there because they've built up a pretty sweet shopping center out there. lots of outlets malls and places to eat. i'm not sure where we will eat (my roommate is going, he has an SUV) - but when i get back i'll be sure to jump on here and let you know. they have one of those 'cheeseburger in paradise' places. i've always wanted to go there. so maybe that will happen. but i dont know.

So I guess it's just a matter of time until Wang goes back to jail, huh?80% chance I hit himPS - Wang never actually went to jail, right? If he did that's probably not a very good joke. Well it's probably not very good either way, but w/e
