OK, Chefelf.com visitors, here's a lesson in how not to lock horns with those MTA scoundrels. This morning, dressed as I am in civilian garb, I had to venture to MTA Headquarters on Jay Street in Brooklyn, the better to secure a replacement reduced-fare MetroCard. While the procedure went as smooth as you please, I wish I could say the same for the doofus who assisted my services.
This dimwit in a double-breasted business suit represented the epitome of what the Mortals call --- I believe such Mortals are called "the Man." In other words, the guy was a total jerk in terms of 'tude.
Now one thing's for certain, I don't deal with people with attitude problems at 9 a.m., and I'm sure that our heroic Chefelf doesn't like that kind of behavior either. My point is that it was my understanding that Humans are supposed to be basically good --- to be thus disappointed in such a manner irks me no end. Dare I say it, were it not for the pistol-toting security twit, I would have punched the lights outta that fool! (And yes, your humble Dragonmaster has in his past journeys had to sometimes resort to fisticuffs, but strictly as a weapon of last resort, and only in self-defense!)
Face it, folks, my weekend was totally shitty. Other than that, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire scored the fourth biggest box-office opening of all time ---- $101.1 million, and I sense that the $200 million mark is next! Stay ye tun'd!
Later, dudes!
