I Forgot

One of the other big events of last week was getting to eat at the Waffle House. For all of the class and culture that is available in the DC area we are way short on greasy spoon joints.

Take the meal pictured above. Where in this town can you get eggs covered in cheese, toast dripping in real butter, and hash browns that are scattered, smothered, chopped, diced, and peppered? For the Waffle House virgins out there that means my hash browns were loaded with cheese, tomatoes, ham and hot peppers. To top things off the coffee was the best I’ve had in months.

Granted, my waitress was short all of her front teeth and I could smell her before I saw her. But what the hell, you have to make some sacrifices to get real food.

Roll Your Own

I missed the big snow storm in DC, only to get caught up in a flood.

Tampa Florida is a lousy city to visit when there’s a monsoon going on. But there’s no way I’m going to be in Tampa and not get down to Ybor City. For those of you that don’t know, Ybor City is the historic/tourist district of Tampa. It’s got a rich history of resistance to various Cuban governments going back to the 1880’s. There’s tons of great Cuban food joints, and bars out the ass. Not that any of those things really matter in the grand scheme of things.

What really matters is Ybor City is one of the few places in the U.S. of A. where a guy can buy hand rolled cigars. As in hand rolled right in front of your very own eye balls. I’d have taken a picture of the scrawny old man that rolled mine, but the way he freaked the hell out over my cell phone ringing I decided it might be best to just pay my tab and get the hell out. No telling how hard he might have snapped if he thought I was trying to steal his soul with my evil cell phone camera.

I picked up 18 premium hand rolled stogies and am as happy as a puppy with two peckers right now.  This is going to be a good weekend around the family fire pit.

Quickie

I’m stuck in a hotel room with six whole channels on the TV.  All I can conclude is that God hates me and Lou Dobbs has lost his fucking mind.  He has gone completely over the edge and around the bend.  What happened to piss him off at the world?

Office Grab Ass

I have a confession to make.  I make a living off of your tax dollars.  There I’ve said it, and I feel better now.  Sort of.

Anyway, I had to tell you that to tell you this.  My office is very uptight.  Very serious and has a shit load of rules that can get you canned.  Like the one about not blogging from a company workstation, or blogging about how up tight our office is.  People get fired around here for saying non-PC things.

So imagine my surprise earlier today when I felt a hand on my ass in the stairwell.  I was on the way up when I passed a guy on his way down and he said “Go Giants” and slapped me on the ass.  Only his hand stayed on my ass for about a nano-second too long.  Not that there was a squeeze mind you.  Just a slap.

There’s a couple of problems with this: 1) I hate being touched by people I don’t know well, 2) my ass is not the place for a man’s hand - under any non-medical circumstances 3)  this guy is not a friend of mine.  In fact, I’m not really sure what his name is.  I know that we’ve spoken to each other before and have had a couple of football related conversations in the hallway.  Said conversations being how he knows I’m a Giants fan.  Needless to say I felt dirty and violated (not in a good way) the rest of the day.

Of course I’m not going to report him.  Like I said, this office is way too uptight as it is.  The last thing I need is to be the cause of the entire fucking office having to endure another round of sensitivity and diversity training.
