Hapless: the movie!

No really, it's a movie.


Today was heaps of fun. Met up with [livejournal.com profile] mexicanjewlizrd (and none of the other people who expressed interest in free Scitech tickets, so I still have three for anyone who can be bothered getting them off me), watched..odd intepretive dance/comedy, [livejournal.com profile] harveystoat doing standup, and then did an animation workshop. I also chatted to a bunch of the staff which was really nice, and also saw Ken and [livejournal.com profile] meljane.

And then a driving lesson, with an instructor who was actually impressed with my ability (it was the first lesson. She will soon learn that while 11 years of intermittent lessons have gotten me to a mediocre standard, lifting my game any higher is harder than it looks)

Now, a hypothetical. Imagine you're a waitperson. You have the following conversation:
Customer: Can I have the chicken burger please, no sauce.
You: Not even barbeque sauce?
Customer: None. No mayonnaise, no tomato sauce, nothing but chicken, salad, and bread.
You: Got it.

Which of the following condiments do you put on the burger:
(a) Butter
(b) Mayonaise
(c) Cheese
(d) All of the above

If you said (d), congratulations! You're suitable to be hired by the "Club" cafe. *mutters*

I didn't realise it would be Saturday when I expressed interest. Sorry!

Heh, it's ok, it's not like you said you'd be there, you just expressed a vague interest. I'm just grumpy due to accidental cheese :)

OK, I imagine I am a waitperson:

Me: "Wow, I hope the cafe owner is suitably impressed that I have a heartbeat and am willing to work here"

They did appear not to have hired any zombies or unwilling slaves, it's true.

I hope they remade it for you :(

That little blue person was a little on the silly side :-/

He didn't know it was a monster!

But, but, climbing into something's mouth? Unwise at the best of times.

He didn't so much climb in as not notice the mouth opening under him until it was too late. Which is pretty implausible, but I didn't have long to write the script :)

The teeth were a nice touch.

Thanks, they were a bit of a pain so I'm glad someone noticed :)
