In a yakiniku restaurant, diners order prepared raw ingredients (individually or as a set) which are brought to the table. The ingredients are cooked by the diners on a grill built into the table throughout the meal, several pieces at a time.

Gunther went straight to the school bullies with the juicy gossip that Tiff was a fatty because he's a really good friend.

While I'm sure this is true (how else would they know?), I don't think we were shown that. I looked back and I think the last time we saw Gunther was him giving Tiff a hug at the end of their heart-to-heart. Granted, I skipped weeks that appeared to deal with other storylines because even I can only take so much Luann.

I admire Bernice, Future Pro Therapist, casually telling her friend that Tiff is getting counselling because why should she care about patient privacy? (It has, of course, been established in her interactions with Piro that Bernice does not.)

Gilchrist is feeling a little, uh. Well, let's let him tell it:

quote:

PLEASE...Anybody that's ever been a fan of me please listen to this even if you don't believe in God. God made you and he loves you and by the way so do I and that's why I if I have ever done anything in my life I did it just to make you happy. So....If you ever think for one moment you are so sad you would want to end the miracle that you are by taking your own life, God loves you so much he doesn't want you to go to Heaven if that's the way that you want to go. Because he wants you to be loved and feel love while you are on this earth, and then to go meet him him in heaven. I know that life is rough and that we all hit rough spots and we all feel like we want to die at one time or another and God knew this too. Heknows everything. And he wants you to just take a deep breath; figure things out. Say a prayer to him because he'll know you haven't figured things out yet.

Just take a moment and pray, and ask God what you should do. I know God pretty well and he's gonna tell you 'I love you'; so calm down and realize even if you feel like no one on earth loves you, God loves you and he wants you to be happy. And then you just start figuring out what made you feel so bad and get that person or that situation away from your life because it, or they, or someone made you feel so bad that you wanted to leave this earth and you felt so bad about it. But you can't even go see God and all the people who died and live with him now forever. So please, if all the cartoons, or all of the things that I ever do mean anything to you honey, remember I just did that to make you happy.

And I'm telling you right now if you feel unhappy that makes me sad and makes God sad too and you can talk to God anytime you want even if sometimes you can't talk to me right away because I am off making somebody else happy. Maybe at someone at the fair where I'm working, one little boy or a girl who feels sad, or maybe through TV and movies and all the things I've done it's trying to make everybody feel happy instead of sad. I don't care about money. I care about you. And so does God. And I if you think I'm smart, no I'm' stupid. Because God is smarter than me and he is my boss.

Paragraphing is mine, because good luck reading that in one big block on his website. (Which was down for a little while.)

It definitely reads as drunk talk-to-text to me, like those messages he left for the woman who said he assaulted her. Did Gilchrist drunk-edit his website in a weird fit of martyrdom, like he's Jesus Gilchrist? This assault accusation/alcohol/pills might be really getting to him now.

Oh my god, I just had a thought: what if his website's had that message for a few months?

I personally feel uncomfortable that Gilchrist is apparently working at a fair targeting young girls and boys that look sad. AND it's not because he needs the money.

The signal jammer one seemed interesting, so I looked it up. The church is smack-dab in the centre of Naples, and there was a bit of arguing back and forth between the priest and nearby storeowners, since according to them the jammer also affected their customers' cell phones and, most importantly, their POS credit card terminals; the priest replied that he got a permit from the police for the signal jammer (it's illegal to operate one in Italy without authorization), and anyway he'd had it turned on for several months before announcing it and there were no complaints before that.

I don't know how it turned out in the end, as I can't find further details beyond the original 2014 newspaper article.

On the other hand, if it's just strong enough to make the reception in nearby shops inconsistent rather than blocking it completely then the owners may have been complaining to their service providers for those several months, never suspecting that anyone would be crazy enough to use a signal jammer in the middle of a city.
