I'd buy a drink from you if I wasn't underage and on the other side of the world. I'm still a student so I can listen to whatever I like so long as I have headphones in

Could you answer a conspiracy theory I have? Whenever we go out to a restaurant we always get our drinks way before our meals. I know that that's partly because they're much quicker to prepare, but my other theory is that they'll hope you drink it all quickly, be thirsty, and then pay for another drink to go with your actual food.

Listening to The New Romance by PGMG again.
I think I might love this equally to Good Health. It's a different animal, more rounded, poppy, and has keyboards. Also less screamy. But it's delectable.

It's somewhat off-topic and I'm not Pony, obviously. But: I'd say that's a rather standard practice. Never actually worked at a proper restaurant, but I attended an economy-oriented school that was in part focused on the culinary sector, so take it with a grain of salt. But from what I remember, we were taught to always serve the drinks first, even if there's a starter, Amuse Gueulle, Hors d'oeuvre or whatever you wanna call it. That's because it's generally agreed upon that drinking is a tad more important than eating (which makes sense given that the human body can survive a bit longer without food than without water). As for the long intervals between drinks and food served: Well, working in a kitchen is a stressful job and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - the experiences I had at the school's own restaurant were enough for me. There are often many different orders that need to be tended to, it's a complete pandemonium sometimes. So things take some time. But that's just a generalization. Not ruling out that certain individual places may actually see some monetary opportunity in that. There are some shitty places as well, no doubt about that. But in general I see no malice in that practice. |

Biggest reason is the fact best profit margin is made on beverage, so the quicker a drink is served the quicker the refills come. Then there's traditional reason like pre-meal thirst quenching and creating jovial atmosphere. I agree on the malice: if there's one corporate decision I can accept it's getting my alcoholic bevvy at my table foken pronto. |

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out Have a care, but don't stare Because he's still there Lamenting policewomen, policemen Silly women, taxmen, uniformed whores They who wish to hurt you Work within the law This world is full, oh So full of crashing bores And I must be one Cause no one ever turns to me to say "Take me in your arms Take me in your arms And love me" You must be wondering how The boy next door turned out Have a care and say a prayer Because he's still there Lamenting policewomen, policemen, Silly women, taxmen, uniformed whores Educated criminals work within the law This world is full, oh So full of crashing bores And I must be one Cause no one ever turns to me to say "Take me in your arms Take me in your arms And love me" What really lies Beyond the constraints of my mind? Could it be the sea With fate mooning back at me? No, it's just more lock-jawed pop-stars Thicker than pig-shit Nothing to convey So scared to show intelligence It might smear their lovely career This world, I am afraid, Is designed for crashing bores I am not one I am not one You don't understand You don't understand And yet you can Take me in your arms and love me, love me And love me Take me in your arms and love me, love me, love me Take me in your arms and love me Take me in your arms and love me Would you do, would you do what you should do? |

True story I’ve probably told before: I once saw Lou do a sound check in an entirely empty stadium before a show. He riffed on Wild Side for a few minutes, with only me, my dad, and stadium employees watching. One of the coolest moments of my life. Thank you, press pass. |
