Truly, it is a puzzlement.

But Philly is the home of the cheesesteak sandwich. So your Philly people are already primed to understand that "steak" can mean "chopping up into small bits to go on your sandwich". You wouldn't think anyone in Philly would have a problem with the nature of steak fajitas.

Inside your family friend's head, he probably thinks that others can tell that he's joking. But the server isn't telepathic, and has dealt with all too many people who WEREN'T joking. So yeah, even if he isn't meaning to be a jerk, he is being one. It's great that he tipped near 30%, but it doesn't let him off the…

Yeah, I read the account above, and was duly horrified, but what really has my face stuck on D: is getting down to the comments and finding out that this is not a one-off thing, but moderately widespread, and I just... WHAT THE WHATTING WHAT. NO. I'm stunned.

Okay, since you said "on dig", I just had to chime in that the times I was at an archaeological dig, I sure didn't shower once a day, but then, I was also doing more clerical work than actual digging in the dirt. I bet if I'd been digging I would have showered a lot more. But also our compound had no hot water, and…

I did. *nods firmly* I've had this neck-crease since I was a bookish child, in the 70s, thank you very much.

(Ugh, sorry about multiple posts.)

I care about your lobster story. "remove the rubber-bands and all-you-can-catch lobster" made me laugh out loud.

I care about your lobster story. "if we could remove their rubber bands first, I would be glad to personally subsidize an all-you-can-catch lobster deal for him" honestly made me laugh out loud. I'd pay to see that, too.

So do we know if he's a Starbucks person or a Dunkies person? INQUIRING MINDS.

(Also I am pretty sure I know that dog place, and yes, wouldn't that just be the kind of place he could maybe show up, as well? Very plausible.)

No, MassAudubon (erg, I should clarify: I always forget whether his home town is the one our place is in, or the town next door, because what I always remember is the h.s. he went to, which has both town names in it; but yeah, his hometown is actually the one next door). We get a lot of families and I work on…

Not gonna lie — I do volunteer work at a place in his hometown, where if the conditions were right, he could conceivably show up. DON'T THINK I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.

Okay, THANK YOU. Because I kept watching and couldn't figure out why it didn't look like the cops went over to check the victim. But then, I didn't notice the original trucker get back to his truck, either.

PUNCH BUGGY PURPLE!

Yeah, but you notice that what the eagles are doing is killing and then landing to feed — not taking off and ascending with the heavy prey. Even with the goat kid, the shot we see in that video is the eagle flying in a controlled descent to its nest (after presumably grabbing it from the mountainside higher up).

On the "hunting buddies" theory... that looks an awful lot like a gyrfalcon, and a smooth saluki. Both are popular hunting animals, particularly in the Saharan through Caspian Sea area... and I notice the title is in Cyrillic. So, seems pretty likely to be the case.

See, when I was 9, and the first movie had just came out, the playground was plenty full of genderbent Lukes, Hans, and Chewies. (Not as many Chewies. Nobody wanted to be Chewie. Poor guy!) We really did not let the lack of female characters stop us. We even had girls playing as the droids.

Not that I disagree, (although... monster?), but — did you mean to post this in reply to me, or did you mean to put it on the top level?
