"We can't eat here, this place has tablecloths!"

Ah Darke has you all fooled, you think he is a well spoken, rather debonair man of the world, yet things like this come out of this mouth. It's times like this that I remember he WAS born in Indiana.

Here is a bit of back-story so you can truly appreciate the grandeur of that sentence.

So our roommate from Columbia came to visit, and upon arrival wanted to go out to eat. We perused a couple of restaurants in St. Louis and decided on The Gumbo Shop. Upon arriving at The Gumbo Shop we realized that it was a tiny hole in the wall with no seats, time for plan B.

"Oh look a Brazilian restaurant, we should eat there" I say, so we pull up. After many grunts about not knowing what they hell Brazilians eat I convince them to at least look in the window and see if we should go in. As soon as Darke looks in the window and see tables set with silverware, glasses and tablecloths he bursts out, "WE CAN'T EAT HERE, THIS PLACE HAS TABLECLOTHES"!!

Fuck you see what I got myself into, the lowly tablecloths is too damn fancy for folks like us,. God forbid that a place that has a prominently displayed Dine in Carry out sign in the front door with TABLECLOTHS on the tables lure us into it's deadly grasps, we may have to actually eat with silverware and have to revert to fancy speech like excuse me instead of pounding a grunting on the table for service.

After James (our old roommates name for your information) and I were able stop laughing long enough to get back into the car and try another restaurant, we found another Italian sounding joint. There are a few things you have to know about me, I'm fucking blunt as hell, and I have an inability to shut the hell up at times. One look at this place and the first thing out of my mouth is "This looks like an overprice Subway". Well Darke did a complete 360 (for some reason he gets easily embarrassed when I speak my mind or start dancing in the middle of the frozen food section of a grocery store) so we had to find yet another place to eat. We finally settled on another Italian place, which was better than an over priced Subway but didn't have any of those fancy tablecloths. It did have real cloth napkins so we may have been pushing it.

That night it was off to City Museum which is kind of like a giant playground were you can climb through holes that lead to tiny rooms or go 40 feet in the air and end in a slide. I attempted to climb through every hole I could fit in, my knees are covered in bruises. It was great. Darke and James are terrified of heights so they stayed on the ground while I went in the suspended tubes over the museum, by the time I got back they were both sweating from just looking up at me. Bunch of pansies.

We went to see Jackass 2 this morning. I can't believe that those guys get paid for doing such stupid shit. It was pretty funny but I was getting sick of the butt jokes by the end. I mean yeah poop was funny as hell when I was five, and it can have its moments every once and while but why so much poo? I didn't understand that part.

Yep fun weekend, now I've got a great week of office work and wrangling animals, last week I got to chase a squirrel across a Target for an hour, and had a raccoon try and bite through my bite gloves so hopefully the fun times will continue.
