A checkout chick?

Spoiler:
That is the term we use for those who work the checkouts at chopping centres, meaning he deals with the customers. But I am going to assume he will be working the grill.

So I decided to test how my headphones would sound on the Mac, not really thinking it would be any different.

Eargasm. The sound card is impossibly better than my PC.

I then figured out how to get a desired destination, and opened up a wormhole that led to Delta Trianguli.
Spoiler for Wormhole details:
The wormholes weren't your typical sci-fi wormholes that had a disk of matter surrounding the entrances on each end. The entrances were of the sperical sort as described by some scientific papers.

Interestingly, even though the other end of the wormhole was empty space, maybe about an AU or two from the two suns, no air escaped. I could also look at the entrance from different directions, and it would show me what I would be looking at as if I was actually there. Because of that, I could see the sunlights from the two suns being projected through the wormhole and onto the wall.


The wormhole though was about the size of a typical laptop pc. I did realize the significance of this, and I was somehow able to actually meet President Obama, and demonstrate the wormhole at a press gathering, after demonstrating to the President first.

Interesting dream indeed.

Gotta love that movie.
Is that where they sell 'fire insurance' to the bars? Or the barn scene earlier on?

I don't think Chick-Fil-A has a grill. Pretty much all their stuff is deep-fried. Why wouldn't he work counter though?

Chik-Fil-A is known for supporting anti-gay organizations, which is why they don't get my business. Also, their chicken patties are like hockey pucks.

Portal 2. That's a game. The ending of it. Just wow.

That is all I will say. Go look up your own spoilers.

Hard or round? The shape's not that bad. I do disapprove of people making bagel sandwiches. Chicken burgers should have proper bread.

At the point in my friendship with that person where we need to set boundaries.

I think that's good.

Not if you want to actually buy video games, and have a computer that can run them.

Also actually being able to go out with friends without checking to see if I have the money first.
