Overheard at lunch today:

from one collegey guy to another:
 
"I don't have time to drink and eat at the same time."
 
What??!!!  Are these the future leaders of this country?  If there's one case of multi-tasking that should be both simple and a pleasure, it is this.  Where are the priorities?  And what is college teaching kids these days?
 
I also heard the words "frozen margarita" several times.  (I was trying to read, but they were loud.  Really loud.)  They had a lot of respect for the frozen margarita.  My friend Skate beat it into me a long time ago that ordering any kind of fruity margarita was a shameful, shameful thing.  Frozen was ousted next.  Skate, I blame you for the fact that I looked down on them a little for preferring the frozen.
 
And on my way out, I heard this:
"Was she pregnant?"
"Wouldn't surprise me."
 
Nice.  And then it went on to some girl from high school, and how much worse her body had gotten since high school.  One explained that she had "wankles - from the waist down, it's like one big leg."
This guy didn't exactly look like he was spending a lot of time at the gym, himself.  Think Stay Puft Marshmallow Man with bad facial hair.
 
Can't eat and drink...  clearly, not thinking men.   Wankles is better off without them.

I agree with your assessment on the frozen drink. A blended or frozen drink is really only acceptable if you're on an island vacation. Here, it is also acceptable, nay necessary, that your frozen drink have a colorful umbrella. Men may also partake in this treat while on vacation and not feel any less manly. In real life, however, frozen drinks are for sallys. These are the rules.

Next time you're in the lunch room with them, you need to talk loudly about how lame people are who drink frozen drinks. (try to be sitting with another person when you do this) Assess their reaction and blog away.

Well put, Blay. I'm glad you concur. You and Skate should get together sometime and teach some lessons.

I don't know if I'll see them again, though - this was at a cafe, not at work. I'm 99% sure they were students. Definitely not grown-ups.

I JUST finished a jumbo *frozen*. It's not the frozen I hate on, it's the girlish flavors, i.e. peach, mango, strawberry. Those are for skirts. But don't tell Patrick. And why were you eating lunch at Tappa Kega Brew?

I work in close proximity to Ga Tech. nerds.

also, do the guys at the guad still laugh when one orders a jumbo?
