Provision us up!

\"xwing-provisions.jpg\"

Source is Mike\’s Place, a restaurant in Kent, OH. You can see the barrel of Acme X-wing Fuel to the right. There\’s also a catapult on the roof that\’s aimed at the Bob Evans across the street.

There are a bunch of \”rules\” on the menu that include:

  1. Mike is always right. (just don\’t ask his wife)
  2. Only Mike or the managers may refer to the waitress staff as serving wenches. (They call us studpuppets. Honest!)
  3. Special Orders DO UPSET US ! (our kitchen is staffed with former professional wrestlers)
  4. The customer is NOT always right. (refer to rule #1)
  5. Tips may be thrown at cooks. (in appreciation or as an incentive to never cook again)
  6. Yes, burping is allowed and appreciated. (please, no rolling your placemats into megaphones)
  7. Thou shalt control thy children or we will provide duct tape.
  8. We will not split orders. If you are that cheap, split it yourself.
  9. Tip your waitress so they don\’t lose your order next time.
  10. Stop stealing our menus and we\’ll stop keying your cars.
  11. Silverware is for eating with, not for throwing at your waitress to get her attention.
  12. No making motorboat noises in your beer.
  13. We serve breakfast all day (cuz we never know when your lazy butt is getting out of bed)
  14. We realize that the ingredients are similar (water, grains and yeast) but you cannot substitute beer for toast.
  15. No jousting with steak knives in the aisles please, it really doesn\’t impress our waitresses anyway. To best capture their attention, try throwing cash.
  16. Please refrain from using \”the force\” to remove treasured items from our hallowed walls or levitating the X-wing.
  17. Please do not try to get a discount by claiming to be a friend of Mike\’s unless you can answer these questions: 
    1. What was his name before he joined the witness relocation program?
    2. How long was he on tour with the Michael Stanley Band?
    3. True or false? His AOL screen name is Obi Wannabe Canoli.
    4. What was his position in the Reagan Administration?

The Big Bang – episode synopsis

\”The Doctor is gone, the Tardis has been destroyed, and the universe is collapsing. The only hope for all reality is a little girl who still believes in stars, as this series of Doctor Who concludes with an episode written by Steven Moffat. \”

  • Could this be a tie into the scene with little Amy in the first episode?
  • I presume this is the Doctor Lite episode, where as \”The Lodger\” was the Amy Lite episode…

Either way, it looks like we are in for a stunning conclusion to the season…

Escape to the Internet?

Fourteen young detainees overcame their guard and fled a boot camp regime of physical training and psychological treatment designed to cure their addiction — to the internet.
The group, aged 15 to 22, staged their mass breakout by grabbing a duty supervisor when he was in bed and immobilising him in his quilt.
He shouted for help and they apologised before tying him up. They then made their way in groups of three to the home town of the leader of the group.
The addicts made their break from the Huai’an Internet Addiction Treatment Centre in eastern Jiangsu province last Wednesday, complaining that they could no longer endure its “monotonous work and intensive training”.
It is the latest incident to highlight the sometimes brutal techniques employed at camps across China to wean young people off the internet. A 15-year-old boy was beaten to death last year days after he was admitted to a camp. Last month a court sentenced two instructors to up to ten years in jail for the incident.

Can you believe it?

One mother wept at the police station when she described how her son once spent 28 consecutive hours playing online games.

Can you still believe it?
What happened to personal responsibility?  Work Ethics?
Heck, I would be disconnecting the wireless & wired routers, and taking them to work with me…  Let\’s see Johnny get online then…
I do not like the way the chinese government is dealing with this, but I don\’t think the parents are living up to their own personal responsibility in managing their own children.  They are the parents, let them PARENT.
