    Shut up, what would you know Chuck.

    Oh wait it's Tusk. I guess I can support that opinion. I can see it being okay, yeah.

    The only reason I say that is because I don't play a game for modern style combat. Because some of the time it's not too accurate in my opinion. Like someone talking 3 50 cal bullets and still surviving. The graphics look amazing though.

    So, in the past couple of weeks I've come up with a few ideas of restaurants/food stands that I'd like to do. First up is a taco stand on the beach; I think it would be awesome because I'd get to hang out on a beach making tacos and listing to music. The next idea is a hotdog stand similar to the taco stand, again same reason as the taco stand idea. The last idea is a modern cafe in a modern art museum, it would be really cool to use the art around up to inspire the food you make in it, and would bring the culinary aspect or art into the picture of modern art.

    I wouldn't say thats modern cuisine (i've eaten there before too) I'm saying more contemporary light things. Think like tapas or sushi, small plates of simple modern food.

    I want to craft tiki idols out of driftwood for tourists on the beach. Also, serial killer.

    You should have specialised and became a confectioner or chocolatier Tusk. Though I suppose culinary school was worth it if you can make san choy bow.

    Meh, I'm not that big on making candy for the rest of my life. I like tacos and hotdogs more.

    As I was leaving downtown one night, a man approached me and told me of his woes. His car had broken down and his wife and two kids were waiting patiently in the car for their father's return. And just as luck would have it, the man had just had an operation earlier in the week, so he was running low on cash.

    I didn't have any money on me nor did I have anywhere to be, so I told the man I would buy him some gas with my credit card at the nearest gas station.

    "Are you sure? It's a bit of a walk and I don't want you to go out of your way."

    "Nonsense," I replied. I decided to make it my mission to get this man and his family back on the road.

    He seemed a bit disappointed as I began to walk with him to the nearest gas station. I'd never seen such compassion: a man, who had just had an operation, who was doing all he could to get his family back home, feeling saddened because he thought he was inconveniencing me. What a guy.

    As we passed an ATM, he lit up and excitedly told me that I could just get him some cash and he could be on his way. "And not see the look on your family's faces when they get their gas? Not a chance," I confidently told him. Again, he seemed disappointed. What a guy.

    Twenty minutes later we reached a gas station where I bought the man a small half gallon gas tank. I explained to the cashier that the man had to get back to his family because his car broke down and he had recently had an operation and his baby needed diapers (which I'm still not sure was relevant). I don't know why, but the cashier rolled his eyes.

    Before I gave the man the gas tank, I ripped off the tag. For some reason he tried to stop me, but I figured he wouldn't want to leave the tag on unless he was intending to return it for some reason. But, since he was using the tank to get gas to his family, why would he want to return it?

    "Two dollars at pump three," I proclaimed.

    At this point, the man appeared completely defeated. Imagine, caring so much about wasting my time that he genuinely felt bad that I was helping him.

    I'm not sure who this guy was, but I'm sure he's told all his friends about the nice, helpful guy who saved him and his family when they were stranded without gas.

    That's pretty rude Grif. Here I am, trying to watch Twilight Eclipse, and you bother me with your stupid story? Not cool.

    I've had an idea like this for years but I kept it close because it's much more unique than a bacon-centric menu.

    I started trying to work out the idea earlier this year, and most of it was trying to think of something that would work well in that type of environment, which I don't think a fancy sit down white table cloth restaurant would work for it, small plates (tapas, sushi, mezze, antipasto, ect.) would be better for the situation.

    Bilateral symmetry is where our similarities end.
