  • I went out with this guy named Mark tonight. No, not my brother, but a
    different Mark, who lives in Rockdale (Rockdale is right next to
    Joliet, in fact, its not too far from the Empress). I guesstimated that
    I would get there between 6:45 and 7, which was pretty right on, I got
    there about 6:50ish. I knocked at the door and got no response. I
    knocked a couple of times and still nothing. I was startingto think he
    either wasn’t home or was just getting into the shower. I started to
    walk away to call him from a pay phone (remember people, I don’t own a
    cell phone) when I heard somebody say “Hey”, so I turned around to see
    him standing at the door. He was completely nak………..wait, I seem
    to have gotten that part wrong, he was wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I
    walked in and headed straight for the can, I wanted to shoot up a bit
    before doing anything. Or pee. I don’t know,peeing, shooting up, its
    all the same, right?

    Anywho, I walked out and asked him if he wanted to get something to
    eat. He said he was not very hungry, but he would go. He has a bird,
    which I asked to see, so we headed to his bedroom to get the bird. For
    some reason, his house was very dark, which could help to explain why I
    didn’t see the all glass end table that he had in his living room. In
    fact, my leg didn’t see it at all when I walked right the fuck into the
    thing. I guess, everybody has an embarrassing moment every now and
    then.

    We ate at some restaurant called……………uh, come to think of it,
    I don’t know the name of it, I think it was Melrose something. Turns
    out, our waiter was gay. So was another waiter. Also, the cow that my
    steak came from was also gay. Seems to be a very gay friendly
    restaurant. As for the meal itself, we couldn’t be any more different
    in food tonight, I got a steak and he got pancakes. I found it more
    than a little odd that he chose not to but syrup on his pancakes. How
    could you not have syrup? Sometimes, that the best part. Speaking of
    odd I had hash browns with my steak, what can I say, though, I love
    hash browns and don’t get them often enough.

    Anywho, that was a brief synopsis of my night. He seems like a fun guy,
    very social and outgoing and kinda happy go lucky. Oh, that reminds me,
    I’m supposed to call him.

  • It must have been a cow from California. You know cows are happier there.

  • Was is the Melrose Diner? I’ve eaten there. I was totally drunk at the time, but it was an experience.

  • I can tell your all twitterpatted about this guy! Havea great weekend, I hope theres more hashbrowns and pancakes,

  • I would tread carefully, what kind of person can’t enjoy the sweet goodness that we call syrup? Better hash browns than bad au gratin potatoes (shudder).

  • I sometimes eat pancakes without syrup.  It all depends on the pancakes.
