You Can’t Get What You Want…Sometimes

In the Urban Design Center in Kashiwa, Japan is a small cafe with a rather unorthodox service method. You arrive, place your order and pay for it and are then served whatever the person just ahead of you in line bought and paid for. The person behind you will get what you ordered.

While I don’t predict a long term stay for this eatery it does reveal something about the patrons. Is the man in the business suit generous with his order when he knows his meal is dependent on the teenagers in the corner? Would you order big to surprise the next person in line or would you order the cheapest item offered and hope to win the lunch lotto?

Jack’s Back

Here’s a blast from the past, Dr. Jack Kevorkian (a.k.a. Dr. Death) is getting out of the pokey after doinig 8 years of a ten year stint. For those of you who weren’t paying attention Dr. Jack was the guy who built a death machine (literally) in his basement with old soda bottles and some fishing line and started hooking people up to it.

Since Dr. Jack was pushing people into the hereafter in Michigan, where along with 49 other states its illegal, the doc was tossed in the slammer for his ‘assistance’.

Here’s the thing. The “Right to Die” crowd couldn’t have made a worse choice for their poster child. First of all the man is crazy. Second, according to the picture below he’s a giant. Those microphones are smaller than his index finger. He’s got to be at least 30 feet tall.

Then there’s this. I actually used to own this record. It was less than great but the reactions people had to seeing it in the CD case was well worth the $2.00 I paid and the room it occupied in my CD wallet.

So Jack’s getting out. I’m sure he’ll be up to his old antics again in no time. Picking off the sick and old and screaming on CNN about how mean the government is for not letting him murder people.

Its Prom Time in Tennessee

My sister was at the grocery store last Friday. The girl in front of her in line was purchasing two cans of Skoal. The clerk apparently knew the girl.

Clerk: You going to prom?

Girl: Yeah. That’s where I’m going now; just picking up the essentials.

Clerk: You wearing your boots?

Girl: Of course I am. My dress won’t look right without them.

I love the American Southeast.
