You ever play Serious Sam and get to those guys with the bombs strapped to their hands that scream and kamikaze explode on you?

It's like that only mostly silent and it tends to just lurk outside your house because it hates progress.

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room

Just out of curiosity, what was it? Salads seems pretty food-restriction friendly in general. Or was it just like "no croutons, dressing on the side" stuff?

It was a list of things she wanted to eat (only half of which were on the menu at any given time), all raw and diced up very small, with knives that were fresh out of the dishwasher. The restaurant had a full page of awesome salads, but Eileen wanted it her way.

There was a Lorien in my high school. I didn't get the reference at the time.

She was pretty normal, maybe a little on the hippy-chick side. I imagine most people who named their kids after Lord of the Rings stuff had to have been hippies.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

You should've just put her salad on the menu and named it as such. You could spot the weirdos that way by who ordered it.

Since I'm at work right now I'll add to the dumb allergies stories. In Oregon you have to serve a full menu at any business that serves liquor. We are most definitely a bar first but with an awesome southern style vegan menu (hah!). We had a customer come in with a printed list of things they couldn't eat and demanded to speak with the chef to place their order. After a 10 minute conversation it was decided the only thing they could eat was the rice but they demanded an entire meal off menu prepared without soy, gluten, raw or cooked vegetables or basically anything else. We kindly told them to get hosed and order off the menu or not at all. I love where I work.

Had a customer at a bookstore whose name was Lil Hardlicka. Thought it was a joke name until I called to let her know her order was in and her answering machine confirmed it.

Then of course there's Eggly Bagelface.
