So our illustrious VP, who in the isolation of our facility in Chicago (most everything else in our division is in Europe) is nigh close to being a dictator has decided to bless us with his benevolance by giving us ‘Mexican Fiesta’. Well, that’s a nice little moral booster to us poor factory workers in our teal scrubs. I appreciate the food, I really do. And I’m all for observing Mexican heritage, one of my closest coworkers is Mexican.
But why the fuck did you decide to do this on the 17th of March? Were you afraid we were going to flood the cafateria two floors below you with cabbage? Did you short sell Corn Beef futures? Was an Irishman annoying on one of your many company funded excursions across the pond?
Heh - St. Patrick’s Day is my birthday, and by family tradition, I get to choose the restaurant for the birthday night dinner. I pretty much always choose Mexican.
I agree that it sounds kinda silly to have “Mexican Fiesta” day on St. Pat’s day, but then again, just enjoy the free food and save the green beer for after work.
Yes, I have a fucking calendar. My wife retaliated by getting a fucking stopwatch.
Mexican food is popular, cheap and admits of some variety – all advantages when you’re buying lunch for a lot of people you don’t know. Besides, mixing cultures is a good thing, I’ve been told. Sushi for Oktoberfest, Oeufs au beurre noir on Cinco de Mayo, Vindaloo on Bastille Day – all good things, I think. Sure, the timing’s a little goofy, but you’re allowed to enjoy yourself anyway, and I hope you do.
Hey, scumbag, did you notice that everybody else in your lame-ass, whiney thread fucking agrees with me.
What the fuck “strawman” are you talking about, by the way? Do you know what that word even means? Don’t use words if you don’t know what they mean, half-wit.
And they managed to do so with out the leaps of illogic you had to go through. Wow. Are you shocked that a thread labled [lame] is…lame? Your reading comprehension really does a disservice to this nation.
Here’s a strawman : a weak or imaginary opposition (as an argument or adversary) set up only to be easily confuted. I didn’t say that the Mexican food ‘inhibited’ my ability to enjoy St Patrick’s Day. Nor did I say I suffered injury. I merely complained about the timing. I even said that I appreciated the free food, for fuck’s sake.
If you admit that the free food didn’t inhibit your ability to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day then what the fuck were you bitching about? The “timing” is not answer because that means nothing in itself. The implication in your OP was that the timing was somehow inconvenient to you. I can’t fathom how someone giving you free Mexican food on St. Patrick’s Day merits even a lame Pit rant.
