I wanted to go out to eat over the weekend to celebrate my birthday with my co-workers. Looking for a celebration kind of restaurant, we settled on a hibachi grill restaurant. You know, the kind of place where they cook the food at your table because it’s a giant grill? It was really fun. A lot of people couldn’t come because I had given them really short notice and they were busy, but our entire English Department was there, as well as half of the Math Department. We took a group picture, but Peggy blocked her face with her napkin. She was embarrassed that she was looking so “smiley face” yesterday.
I told my mom that I was going to a restaurant like this and she made me promise I would get some sake. I did, Mom. Here’s my proof:
So why is this post in the “Investigations” category? I was at the end of the table which put me to the side of the chef. I had an excellent view of the sigil he wore on his belt: The Standing Lion. I only know of one group that uses The Standing Lion in Japan. This symbol marked our chef as a member of the Japanese Illuminati. But why was the Illuminati monitoring our lunch? I will wait and see if they show themselves again…
Lacking any representatives of the social studies, science or (outside of Birthday Boy himself) religion departments, I insist you have a repeat engagement some day soon and announce your date and time more than 2 minutes before you all go…that’s just my preference; I’m funny that way.
It looks like you all had a great time, though! But I am shocked to hear there even exists a Japanese Illuminati. Next you’re going to tell me there is Japanese mafia (not that they exist ANYwhere, mind you) and no Japanese Santa or Easter bunny and…….what?…….oh, yea…never mind.
Peggy, I love your facial – where’d you go for that?! You look a bit jaundiced, but absolutely NO wrinkles and a sunny smile to boot. Excellent!!
HA!
I guess I should have been more careful in picking where I got a face lift. A place with the slogan, “Gotham younger looks you’ve been craving” should have been a red flag I suppose …
(get it?)
Peggy just looks so familiar to me…. where have I seen her face before?
HA!!! You funny!
I wish my mom would suggest drinks to me!
When did you become such an expert on Japanese intrique? You’re a spy, aren’t you?
The correct Japanese toasts depend on much sake you have.
I am sure Rosie represented our social studies department very well. I am a bit concerned about this Japanese Iluminati…are they the ones messing with my stuff now that Robert Goulet is no longer with us?
You are absolutely correct, Kim – soon as I hit “send” it occurred to me I had unintentionally “dissed” Miss Rosie there. Sorry, Rose!!!
[But I still want a Round Two so I can go, too.]
Agreed.
You have a pretty maniacal look with the sake – just how much did you have?
