McDonald's BACK TO THE FUTURE McFLY!

So I went to McDonald's and almost lost my marbles! AKA blew my top!

THIS IS CALLED A ICE FRAPPE!! OR WHATEVER the spelling and pronunciation is.


I went to order a ice frappe. As for the correct spelling I don't have a French keyboard so its something like this FrappĂ©. For that special e thing.

I asked for a Frappe she said , "We don't have those. We had them only for 2015."
I was like what the hoot is she talking about? I was at McDonald's last week and I had one. I did not jump into a time machine and go back to the Future (actually the past that became the Future).

I told her "Sorry you must be gravely mistaken, for I had ordered the aforementioned drink last week". I should have mentioned more than gravely and replaced it with stupidly mistaken.

She looked at me, "Sir, the last time it was available was 2015".

I was now starting to lose it. The clock had struck 12 (or whatever time makes you crazy when the hooting starts on those old grandfather clocks).

"I ordered it last week, unless I'm completely crazy it was available and I drank it, so what do you mean?"

She looked at me again, "We don't have it, do you want just an ice coffee?"

I didn't know how to respond.

MAYBE F NO! I WANT MY DAMN ICE FRAPPE, the same GODDAMN one I had last week. I am not hallucinating, I drank one!

I responded, "Yes please, unless you can get me the Frappe you know the one I ordered last week without a time machine". And I should have added "AND MY NAME IS NOT MARTY McFly!"

She got me my ice coffee. I was now angry. Slightly livid.
I sent a message to my wife saying they said they don't have it. She said I must have pronounced it wrong cause its a French word with a symbol.
I looked it up on McD.ca NOT .COM so she can't say only USA. It was there. I took her the picture.
ICE FRAPPE. Iced Frappe, Ice frappacino, Iced Frappunici, whatever you want to call it, its listed on the website. My wife has confirmed I am not nuts, so this is what I'd like to order.

"Sir we don't have it!"

She asked her manager. She confirmed they don't have it.
I explained I had it at another Mcdonald's last week and this lady says it didn't exist since 2015, thereby implying I'm slightly (more or less) insane.

She said maybe some other shops have it, but that this location they didn't sell any, so they don't have them. LOL.

I gave up.
"OK, I'll just take my stupid ice coffees then, extra ice so I can pretend its a frappe please".

I left.
My son asked "Dada, they don't have a frappocino for you?"
I smiled "Yes son, they are withholding it".

MOTHER F'ER!

Feel Confident in Cooking


Whilst walking through a restaurant kitchen I heard the following story and thought amusing and therefore worth the repeat.


A sever stated to a cook that her patron had Celiac disease and requested to make a pizza without any crust/ dough. The cook asked what is the binding agent to hold the meat/ sauce etc together. He's never heard of a pizza without crust or dough.

 The server responded, "I dunno lay down some cheese I guess".

The cook responded the cheese will just burn and get all greasy, which the server responded, "I hope you feel confident making it or it isn’t going to work".

LOL. I tried not to pee laughing.


LOL just peed a little.

Understanding Babble

Its very hard to understand a baby. As you know, they don't really make sense.
In my case the scenario is more difficult than normal, since my son is learning Cantonese.

I never know if he's speaking babble or Cantonese, as they sound the same to me.

"Oh he can talk now", the family said.

Me: "I thought I heard nai nai, what the heck is that."

"Milk", they answered.

Oh boy. The Cantonese language is hilarious.
At least he isn't yelling in babble yet.
Will sound more like Cantonese (oh snap!)


Its only funny cause my wife is Canto, and its true.
