I went to this restaurant today to eat, because I have this strange curse
that makes me hungry every day if I don't. This is a different place
than on my Paul Hogan story (bs group id: 12574). I kinda like the food
but there are these clocks that annoy me so I haven't went there for over
a year, but today I felt spontaneous and decided to go there. If you're
wondering about the clocks, here's a brief explanation. The place is called
Memphis and they have these couple of clocks hung on the wall. One seems
to be in EET (Finnish time), and the other one seems to have some random
time zone. I was thinking that maybe it's the time zone of Memphis, but
it didn't really seem to make much sense. Then finally one time I asked
a waitress and she said "No, they're just there for decoration." Okay,
now I know it's there for that, but every time I go there, I keep wondering
why couldn't it show Memphis time. It would be cool, but it doesn't so
it annoys me, and thus I've chosen to eat elsewhere.

Nonetheless, let's continue. The place is usually quite packed and even
today the waitress said that there's like 30 minute wait before I can
get food because there are so many people there. That's okay as I'm not
scheduled to do anything important, because I'm not an important person.
I thought I could maybe drink a beer while I wait for my food, and they
had Miller's Genuine draft on the menu. I've tasted that but I think it
tastes like piss. I guess it's kinda okay because it's a draft, but
I'm expecting the taste to improve in their final version.

So I finally got the meal I ordered, which sadly had too little salad
in it. I really like salad and want that every meal at least comes with
some sort of lettuce so the plate doesn't look that empty. I guess
this liking salad is one of the rare, healthier habits of mine. After I
had eaten, I still had like half a glass of coke, and by this I mean
the beverage. Then some ridiculously hot girls walked in and went to sit on
a table nearby. One of them spoke Finnish but the other two seemed to
be foreign. I took a quick restrained glance at their direction, though
they might describe it differently. Anyway, I couldn't help noticing
that one of them, wore a bunch of rings on her fingers. I think rings
are cool. If someone wears a ring, they're engaged or married. If people
wear nothing, they might still be dating someone, but there's at least
a chance they're single. So the ring can be interpreted to mean: "I'm
flattered, but I'm taken so go away!"

Some might have noticed how the ring has an entirely different effect
on different people. This depends on a lot of factors like sex. So
actually it depends on one factor, so I was a little off with my
estimation about the number of factors. But the point is this. To men
ring is like "she's taken". Then if a man wears a ring, you need to
beat women away from you with a stick, because suddenly everybody
is interested in you, just because someone else already is. But my point
is that we have almost working system here, but now we get back to
the thing I witnessed. The woman wore a bunch of rings! I can't remember
what is the ring finger or if it is in left or right hand so this woman
with her bogus rings is messing up my system! This is simply unacceptable.
Men don't wear that many rings. At least I don't think so. Or maybe some
Arab sheikh might, if he has a ring for every woman, but even then he
would need some sort of finger implant so he could fit them all to a
ring finger, but I guess that in this case it would be quite acceptable
to use other fingers once the first one is full. And by acceptable I mean
that if you approve the idea of harem in the first place.

But back to my point. This woman at the restaurant had so many rings
that if Paul Hogan walked in to bring her a knife, I couldn't tell
her apart from gypsies. I admit that I might have recently become
obsessed with this Paul Hogan thing, but seriously the woman would have
made even Sauron himself jealous.

Well, I finally left the restaurant, chewing gum that they give after a meal.
It was this mint flavoured gum and when you chew gum and walk outdoors when
it's about 5 celcius degrees below zero, I notice how the air somehow feels
fresher, cooler or perhaps a little bit colder. The same thing happens with
tooth paste when you brush your teeth and then take a sip of water. It seems
like the mint somehow makes the water cooler or something. I think the same
thing happens with mint liquor, and now this mint thing is really starting
to bother me so I went to the grocery store and thought that I should perhaps
buy mint chocolate or ice cream to test my theory. Of course part of the
fun of going to store is the possibility to make my awesome rotation move.
Like I said, this possibility isn't always available. I'll explain. They
have these baskets piled that the customers can take to pick up their
groceries. Sometimes these baskets are piled as high towers so the baskets
are too high or then there's only a few left and they're on almost
floor level. When either of these events occur, the rotation move isn't
possible. Rotation move works best if the grocery baskets are
approximately on your waist level. During the last few years I've been
training this awesome rotation move whenever I go to store. It works
like this. The key is to pick up a basket without pausing your movement.
You walk forward, then you pick up the basket with your left hand. You
have to raise the basket so that it gets up smoothly. While doing
that, move your right foot a little bit on the left, and swirl around
making 360 degree flip. While doing the flip, you need to switch the basket
from your left hand to right. While doing all this, remember to stay in
forward motion. This way it should go smoothly.

If this move saves 2 seconds of your time and causes the familiar faces you
know to turn away from you when you tell them hello to save additional 5
seconds, then you know you are doing it correctly.
