Scene: Taco Bell
Time: Today

Me: Hello, I'd like to order.

Clerk: Certainly, what would you like?

Me: I'd like a Taco supreme.

Clerk: Hard or soft?

Me: Hard. And I would like three beef chalupa's, baja style.

Clerk: (is typing at register)

Me: And three Beef Burritos, no onions, add sour cream.

Clerk: Okay, so that was 1 Taco Supreme, a Gordita, baja style, and three bean burritos.

Me: No, it's three *chalupa's* and three *beef* burritos.

Clerk: Okay, so that's 1 taco, a Chalupa supreme, and a beef burrito, add sour cream?

Me: *sighing heavily* No, it's *1* Taco Supreme, *3* Chalupa's, *Baja style*, and *3* Burritos, no onion, just *Meat*, *Cheese*, *Redsauce* and *Sour Cream*.

Clerk: (calls manager over) How do I add sour cream to a burrito?

Manager: (types on keyboard.) Now how did you want that, Sir?

Me: 3 Burritos, no onions, just meat, cheese, red sauce, and sour cream.

Manager: (finishes typing) Got it.

Clerk: (resumes transaction.) That will be $3.10, sir.

Me: (Stares in disbelief) For the whole order?

Clerk: Yes sir.

Me: (shakes head) For 1 Taco Supreme, 3 Baja Beef Chalupas, and 3 Beef Burritos?

Clerk: (looks at order.) I have 1 Taco and 1 Burrito.

Me: Do you want to add the rest of the order to that?

Clerk: Okay, that was 1 Taco...

Me: Supreme.

Clerk: 1 Taco Supreme, a Baja Beef Chalupa...

Me : 3

Clerk: (getting annoyed with me.) Okay, 1 Taco Supreme, *3* Baja Beef Chalupas, and a Burrito with sour cream.

Me: And no Onions. And there's 3 of them too. 1 Taco Supreme, 3 Burritos, and 3 Chalupa's

Clerk: Alright. 1 Taco Supreme, a Burrito, no onion, add sour cream, and 3 Baja Beef Chalupas.

Me: (trying really hard not to reach across counter and break neck of Clerk) *THREE* burritos.

Clerk: (Calls over another manager.) It's only showing 1 burrito.

Manger2: How many burritos did you want sir?

Me: (taking deep breaths) three beef burritos with no onions, only meat, cheese, redsauce, and sour cream.

Manager2: So that's 1 Taco Supreme, 3 Baja Beef Chalupas, and 3 Beef Burritos, no onion, add sour cream?

Me: *sighing in relief that this is finally over.* Yes.

Clerk: That will be $10.49

(money changes hand)

Clerk: Here's your reciept.

Me: (Looking over reciept) This shows 2 bean burritos and 1 beef.

Manager2: Don't worry sir, I told the prep cook that they're all beef.

Me: (shaking head and sighing.) Okay.



No, I'm not making this up. It just happened. At least the food was right...

I am not an "Optimist"

Okay, I’ve been busy writing articles for H+ recently and I’ve been being accused rather frequently of being, “An Optimist.” This post is about proving that I’m really not one. To do this, I first need to clear up a few things by explaining that I am not a believer in AGW or many other “Green” ideologies, nor am I a “liberal” or “progressive” or any number of other “categories” that are made up to compartmentalize and divide humans into groups and cliques. I am a cynic first, last and always, and expect little more than the worst of the worst of human behavior to be the default operating mode of the human race. So, don’t expect good news. There is none. It WILL get worse before it gets better. Pollution will continue, rainforests will be chopped down, and people are going to suffer and even die. There is no nice way to sugar coat this fact. No feel good story that will offset it. We are in a spiral downwards that will end with the complete destruction of the current economy, and qu

On Government

Alright, this blog post might end up being rather long, but it has become entirely too necessary. I’ve had to repeat myself far too many times. I’ve been arguing with people all over the net about “Government” First, let me define what I mean by Government. Government is a system of organization within a collective which directs the actions of the collective, controls the shared resources of the collective and which distributes those shared resources in the way which benefits the collective most efficiently. A government will always arise as the natural result of human pack instinct because it enables efficient division of labor and allocation of resources. It doesn’t matter what form this organization takes, be it a tribal council, a council of elders, a Men’s or Women’s council, a Fiefdom, a Vassalage, Dukedom, Republic, Monarchy or Democracy, the very organization itself will always be created by any group of people . This organization “Governs” the collective, and is thus a “Go

Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a girl of style and grace… Well, not really, but it seems so appropriate considering the rest of this little missive, and I won’t even make you guess my name. Valkyrie Ice, or just Val for short. No that’s not the name my parents gave me, but it is far more comfortable most of the time than that other one, which is why it has been my name on the internet from almost the very first time I signed onto a BBS. Val feels more like the real me than that endless succession of masks I have to wear everyday. When I’m online, I usually feel like I’ve taken off this massive coat of lead armor, and like I’m a real person, instead of a mindless automaton going through the motions. What you see when you meet me in the flesh may be what the world thinks of as me right now, but Val’s the one looking at you behind these blue eyes. I have been asked many times before why I consider myself to be an entirely different creature than what I see in a mirror,
