Today at the Diner

1.  After some discussion, Daryl and I decided that the English language should appropriate the Spanish word for “choke”–ahogo.  We should just take it, like we took Texas.

2.  The man next to us ordered only white foods:  scrambled egg whites, sliced bananas, two bowls of oatmeal, milk.  I’m pretty sure he’s nuts.

3.  Some new guys started complaining that it was taking too long to get their hamburgers.  All of the other patrons glared at them.  Everyone knows that the cook watches sports on Sundays, and you get your food only during commercial breaks.  What a couple of assholes.

    Texas diners are much better than Ohio diners. The places and the people. Around these parts there is less wisdom and more food poisoning.

    Butthead is ahogoing. On chicken.

    Artiahogo.

    Mama Cass ahogoed on a ham sandwich.

    Man, you need to adjust your ahogo–you’re running rough.

    I’m going home to ahogo my chicken.

    Okay, maybe it’s not such a good idea after all.

    Really? We would call bananas a white food? I don’t think I can agree with you there. They’re, uhh, beige or something, no? Off-white? Eggshell??
