Admittedly, my favorite BCO story this year was that crazy lady in Britain who didn’t know that burgers are made of meat. But then, maybe that’s just because it caused my brains to liquefy into a nice cup of unsweetened iced tea, which I then drank to recover my precious brains.

Waffles in general? Sure.

It most certainly is a Bone reference. Fone/Thorn shipper for life.

My personal headcanon about Tom Hanks being an elven lord of light and mercy refuses to recognize your completely possible second-hand anecdote.

I think we’re all going to have to suggest who the New Orleans guy, in fact, was.

I like to make a difference, not just to be a bit of a big shot or be noticed or appreciated, but to give some of what I make to those who make less.

"Oh. It’s too fresh. I see. How silly of me. Allow me to now explain what I will do to accommodate you. I will now take a serving tray and a series of sample cups, place the cups on the tray, and I will go out amongst the crowd of our other gathered customers, all of whom are quietly drinking their beverages. I will…

When she gets to the counter she shoves her way in front of the register, looks down her nose at me with the hauteur of a Tsarist Russian aristocrat and barks “This coffee tastes too FRESH!”

I totally agree with you that it’s great for BC to do that, but where are the studios?

Without a shadow of a doubt, it's my all-time favorite comic. Pretty much everything about it is perfect (except for the whole "does Kingdok still have a tongue or not" thing, which kind of flip-flops back and forth after the whole "cat got your tongue?" gag).

FINALLY SOMEONE RECOGNIZES IT.

Soon, we’ll be able to start tracking her movements. We can tag her, follow her by satellite, and monitor her migration patterns. We will learn how many are in her herd, and if they’re collecting the core materials of caramel to bring back to their home habitats.

It’s not the world’s most simple drink, sure, but I don’t think it’s an “asshole” order. Adding a shot, a flavor, and a milk specificity doesn’t make a drink annoying to make, nor does the idea of “extra hot” in and of itself. I would say it’s not an “asshole” order because it’s the kind of order that Starbucks is…

So, since there’s a predominance of stories where customers keep breaking the Inigo Montoya rule (words that do not mean what they think they mean), I’ve been reminded of this one story from my own history:

Re: “fish that swim” lady -

I assume he worked for the EPA back in 1984, monitoring any private businesses in the paranormal field.

She proceeds to explain to him that only a hamburger contains meat, and that a cheeseburger is vegetarian. She says she knows this because she has been to McDonald’s in London literally *hundreds* of times in the last few years, and that a cheeseburger is always vegetarian when she orders one!

I couldn’t help but hear Bugs Bunny’s voice as he reads off the list of what the Tasmanian Devil eats.

Movie bomb (MOO-vee bom): A professionally or independently-assembled projectile filled with a bursting charge and many cinematic creations, often on DVD or BluRay; when ignited by a fuse or by remote, the charge explodes and spreads the discs all over the landscape, leaving the air smelling mildly of scene selection…

Where are all the terrible Buddhist customers? Nobody’s ever lectured their server on mastering right speech/right action/right livelihood, or demanded of a manager that they only be served by someone who’s attained at least three jhana?
