Secret Waffle House Codes

Who would have ever known that the venerable Waffle House used a sophisticated code system to encode orders. Does the NSA know about this?!?

Let me give you an example. If I were to order three scrambled eggs, dry wheat toast, and hash browns, the waitress would face the grill and yell out loud – "Mark: Triple scrambled dry wheat plate."

The cook would then quickly take a large dinner plate, turn it sideways, and place a tub of jelly upside down at the six o’clock position.

A little more info on WH from Wikipedia.

Beginner’s Bible Coloring Book! on Flickr

My old friend posted this to Flickr account recently. Damn, that guy has talent. I can’t wait to see the page on how Noah kept the dinoasurs from eating all the other critters on the ark. Pure joy!

Dad, did dinosaurs really exist?
Sure they did, son. The Bible says so. They didn’t call them "dinosaurs" back then, but instead they were known as "leviathans" or "behemoths".
But, my science teacher says dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Is that true?
Of course not, son.

US Postal Service Removes Clocks to Speed Up Time, WTF?

USPSNormally I’d make a long winded rant about the piss poor service I have been getting at my local post offices lately but I see little point in it. Lets just say that if the overlords at the USPS would wake up they would realize that customer service and proficiency of your tasks should be ‘job one’. Whey you employ chatter boxes and inept fools at the front lines (counter help) your making a big mistake. I don’t know what genius decided that taking the clocks out of the waiting room was a good idea but I bet i was the same ass that did away with the ‘take a number’ concept. Perhaps this is a ploy to get everyone to use FedEx and UPS so the postal employees can whine and cry about being put out of a job by those guys. Somehow the ‘forever stamp‘ works into that scenario I’m sure. Jerks. I blame the unions…

No Where To Go in London

London Bathroom by smoothdudeWell this sucks. If your going to visit London make sure you go to the bathroom before you get on the plane. Apparently there is a general lack of public bathrooms these days. Seems that the local authorities have been selling off the property to make an easy buck (or pound as the case may be) because of the skyrocketing costs of real estate over there (up 53 percent in just five years) and many public toilets have been given the axe. In other cases, multi stalled public facilities that had been on private property are now being renovated and turned into living spaces. Simply amazing… The answer to all this has been a rise of private luxury toilets  where, for 5 pounds ($10US) you can  receive a hand massage (no, not that kind!) and other pampering, or if your in a hurry just 1 pound and you can answer the call of nature without having to find a convenient alleyway or parked car.
