I totally forgot to write about this one the other night. Jen and I went to the YardHouse and had dinner and a few drinks. We were sitting at a table next to a couple that was in a HUGE booth. Now violation #1 was made when they sat next to each other in the HUGE booth. Usually when on a date you sit across from the other person so you can talk, if you want to have sex in the booth, you request a smaller booth that's not so public. Violation #2 was they literally were on top of each other. If you're in a HUGE booth, its a waste to not use the space. Just like an SUV, if you don't use the fuckin space, get a smaller BOOTH. (side note: it funny that this restaurant is notorious for having 3 hour waits. maybe its because they give booths to two people when they could seat 6 there). Violation #3 was, he was fuckin dumb enough to order a YARD. I know its called the fuckin yardhouse and i know you're trying to impress the girl, but... You can't fuckin DRINK OUT OF A YARD. Order a PINT. It fits in your hand, and you can actually DRINK it while TALKING to the GIRL that you should be SITTING ACROSS from. Violation #4... and this one makes me forgive the dumbass for all the other violations. Why? Cause it made me laugh my ass off. Violation #4 is attempting to pick up and pour the contents of said YARD into a PINT glass while holding the yard in one hand and the pint in the other. If you don't get this one, then here's the basic principle. A yard is a very tall and thin glass "pipe". At the bottom there is a large ball that contains most of the liquid that you're drinking. If you were to hold this glass "pipe" at one end and attempt to turn it horizontal, the other end would probably not be able to support the weight of the liquid inside. Its like holding a tape measure out as far as you can. Its not going to hold. SO i see this happening out of the corner of my eye and i'm laughing before it even breaks. The ball end of the yard is about 4 feet above the hard wood floor when the yard body breaks. This has to be one of the best restaurant accidents i've seen in a long time. The best part is, there are 5 people on top of this in 10 seconds. They must have a lot of assholes in there every hour that do this. My advise, like i said, order a pint.

Why eat at a place that's notorious for having 3 hour waits?

Long waits at restaurants are a good indicator that it's a good place to eat at, but a three hour wait is a bit much. The longest I'd wait in line at a restaurant is maybe an hour.

The funny thing is that when I was at dinner with your beautiful wife the other night, we witnessed a couple doing the same thing, and I started complaining to Jen that that was one of my HUGE pet peeves when couples sit next to each other like that (Darren tries to do it to me all the time just to piss me off). Jen just laughed and told me to check out your blog. By the way, thank you (FINALLY) for getting the CDs to me. I haven't listened to the MP3 s yet, but the pictures are great! Thanks agin for doing that!
