I had an interesting dinner last night. My new roomie and I went out to buy dinner and got completly sidetracked again as usual. Getting gas and money were the easy parts, then to Sams to pick up what we had missed earlier that week plus more, TJMaxx to try to get baking pans (we failed, but I got a pair of capris), then to Bed Bath and Beyond to actually get said pans, along with a vegetable chopping knife, a corkscrew, and wine glasses. By this time we were in no mood to cook, so we went out.
We decided to go to O'Charley's and got seated in a booth at the bar with a nice waitress. I was pretty amused by the table behind me - seemed to be a first date, he seemed to be a real idiot, and she didnt seem that much better. This impression was confirmed shortly thereafter when as she was clarifying that there used to be a land bridge between Alaska and Russia, he asked if that was near the Equator. Wow. Anyway, at some point he asked our waitress (theirs too) if since it was his date's birthday, they would come out and sing. Her comment, much to my amusement, was 'Now aren't you nice always bringing out girls for their birthdays!' and watching him attempt to do damage control was hilarious. After they had left (since the roomie wouldn't let me until then) I remarked upon it to the waitress who enlightned us to the fact that he had been in for the last few weeks on Thursdays, each time with a different girl, and each time saying it was their birthday. She seemed tickeled that her off hand comment had registered. I think I would go back and ask for her section.
