A funny conversation

Friend (who shall remain nameless): Wait, how did you fix that?

Me: I just did

Friend:  No really, I tried everything.  I’m not dumb!

Me:  No, you’re not dumb at all.  You just forget, I’m REALLY smart

 

This exchange amused me, so I thought I’d share.

(and when you reads this, anonymous friend, remember that I only associate with bright people)

The promised land for adult children

It’s been a while since the last installment of “I have funny friends”. This one is even extra special because it involves multiple people!

I’m taking Mike’s challenges

First challenge:34 At first I felt kind of bad about this quiz, but then I realized that if I was getting all Lord of the Flies-ed by a bunch of punks, I would totally throw down.

2nd challenge, the impossible quiz:

Impossible-Quiz.com

Its a pretty fun quiz. Definitely made me count on my fingers a couple times ;)

Deep discussions about theology abound…

A recent instant messenger conversation with a friend of mine…

[10:59] friend: Hey!! partially serious – what does God look like?
[10:59] friend: I believe that all the pics everywhere are Jesus – rather than God….
[10:59] friend: again… im kind of serious…
[11:00] me: hard to say
[11:00] friend: okay – so there are no general depictions of God – just Jesus
[11:00] me: prolly http://www.yuddy.com/articleimages/barry%20gibbMTg5Mw==.jpg
[11:00] me: haha
[11:00] friend: ROFL – NICE
[11:01] me: naw, no real record or “official version” of what God looks like.
[11:02] me: just that he looks like a human
[11:02] friend: gotcha
[11:02] me: but you know, with awesome 70′s hair like Barry Gibb
[11:02] friend: rofl…

Mister, won’t you please help my pony…

From the “I have funny friends department”, here is a recent IM….

[16:17] me: http://litterbox.zawodny.com/i/pony.jpg
[16:17] Grant: bwahahhahahahahah
[16:17] Grant: =))
[16:18] Grant: why do all little girls want ponies
[16:18] Grant: why dont boys want ponies
[16:18] me: yeah, I have no idea
[16:18] Grant: i never wanted a pony
[16:18] Grant: wierd
[16:18] me: although all boys want puppies
[16:18] Grant: true
[16:18] Grant: hmm
[16:19] me: well, if you think about it, you don’t play all that much with a pony, but you can spend a lot of time brushing it and whatnot
[16:19] Grant: perhaps guys want a companion that is useful and girls like big companions that are stupid and dependant
[16:19] Grant: ahahahahah
[16:19] me: LOL
[16:19] me: oh man, that’s genus!
[16:19] Grant: genus
[16:19] Grant: thas me
[16:19] Grant: well we both thought the same thing in different words
[16:19] Grant: amazing
[16:20] Grant: i suspect we should take the mensa test immediately
[16:20] me: indeed
[16:20] me: how do you spell mensa?

Grant is the King!

I had lunch today with my crazy friend Grant (pictured in the previous post).  We went to one of our favorite spots in the Valley De Silicon, Neto’s.  He conveniently forgets his wallet, so I said I’d be happy to buy lunch today.  Getting out of the car he says “Oh, you don’t have to buy me a drink, I brought my own” and slips a Dr. Pepper into his pocket.

We wait in line to get our awesome sandwiches made, having a fun time mocking the college kids there who think they are uber cool, remembering when we were that young and thought we knew everything.

Its finally our turn to pay and following conversation ensues:

Neto’s Lady:  Only one drink?

Grant:  Yeah, I have my own drink

NL:  Oh, so you’re taking it home?

G:  No, eating here.

NL:  So you’re going to drink your drink afterwards?

G:  No

NL:  Well, we don’t allow outside drinks.

G:  Umm, ok.

NL: (in a voice you would use to explain to a 3 year old that they can’t eat dirt) Its like going to a restaurant, you wouldn’t bring your own drink to a restaurant, would you?

G:  No, probably not.

NL:  Well, you’ll have to leave your drink in the car then.

G:  Ok

Now, as I type this out, it doesn’t seem that funny, kinda seems like a “you had to be there”, but keep in mind that Neto’s is not really a restaurant.  When you go there, you order a piece of meat from the grill, take it inside for them to make a sandwich out of it.  Once you have this awesome sandwich in hand, you go out to what is essentially a backyard with a bunch of tables scattered about.  Its certainly not fine dining by any stretch.

The lady’s reaction was just so funny.  Grant and I had a good laugh about it.
