High School Story Time

me: there's a background joke to that
Heather: yeah, I'm sure
care to share with the class??
me: My friend Brandon and his family went to the Rainforest Cafe while we were in high school
now, Brandon is my friend, and very intelligent and completely out of his mind
So, his parents were reminding him not to make a scene or be too silly
even though his entire family is, well, insane
They're sitting there, looking over the menu when the server comes up looking rather morose and wearing nothing but the darkness of his soul
Heather: hahaha
so far so good
me: thanks
He, like corpse, asks for their orders starting with his mom. While this is happening, his dad leans over and tells him not to be "an ass", and Brandon agrees
Very soon thereafter the server looks at Brandon and with a complete lack of emotion asks what he'll be having
to which Brandon replies, in his best death metal growl, "RAM'S BLOOD!"
Heather: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
beautiful
me: the server quickly excused himself, saying that he'd get a different server
that is one of my favorite stories about Brandon
Heather: wait, seriously?!
me: yes
this actually happened
Heather: I mean the getting a different server part
me: yep

i believe this is why blogs were invented, sir. you prove yourself as an excellent High School Storyteller (can we make that in exploitative teen musical?), and this brandon character. Well, i believe that he, by nothing more than his sheer awesomeness, could bring to life every animatronic animal in that rainforest. shoooot. ram's blood.

Still brilliant!!

Also, your Google ad told me I should get LASIK eye surgery, so I guess I'm going to have to go do that now...
