Q

[SisterCoyote]

I knew a kid who worked at <name of major theme park redacted> who did in fact say f-Q to just about everyone, and no one (to my knowledge) ever caught him because of how quickly he slurred the words.

Except me. But I wasn’t going to tell anyone.

I thought this thread was about that damned Aztec god-monster making a nest in the Chrysler Building.

A couple of years ago, I realized that if you say “thanks, slut” fast enough, it sounds close enough to “thanks a lot” that you can usually get away with it.

Once you’ve mastered this, try replacing ‘thank you very much’ with ‘spank your furry crutch’. I reckon if you just bluff it out steadfastly, they’ll eventually concede they misheard you.

I thought the OP just had a question he wanted to pose.

[NinjaChick]

Am I really the only doper who’s ever considered the possibility that Q-the-omnipotent is in fact not a different entity from Q-the-gadget-maker?

[Jaglavak]

Yes, you are.

He also works at a taco stand as his third job.

If you actually DO have the power to stop the universe in its tracks, can you really be described as megalomaniacal?

See? There ya go. All that universe-stopping power, and he settles for making tacos on the corner and making a nuisance of himself aboard various starships and the occasional space station.

Eh. Those are just hobbies, like when Zeus and Hermes would wander the land in disguise as peasants just to see how people treated them.

He’s trying to say Thank You, but it ain’t coming out right.

IMNSHO…

[MOIDALIZE]

Maybe he’s trying to establish a Weiner Circle-type schtick of abusing the customers. I’ve had my cheddar char dog thrown in the garbage and been rudely insulted by the kind staff at Weiner Circle and yet I’ve gone back for more.

Test my theory next time you’re there. When you order your burrito, tell him you want more beans stuffed in there than a landscaper’s pickup truck, then gauge his reaction. If his English isn’t so good, ask him loudly and slowly if he understands English, and mix in some references to the INS. Who knows, you may have found the most interesting place in town to eat.

It’s amazing how many people interpret “get out of my fucking face, you cock sucking piece of shit” for “thanks, and have a nice day”. It’s all in the inflection.

I thought this was going to be a Q about why you can’t get beef, bean and cheese burritos.

It’s ICE now. And then I’m sure he never even think of hocking a steaming green loogie in my salsa. Maybe I’ll just find another taco stand instead.

Wups! Um, 'scuse me, gotta run over to the taco stand for a bit of grovelling. Back in a flash… I hope…

Maybe the cute burrito-rolling girl was giving you the eye (as you seem to hint), and cashier guy is her boyfriend. Or wants to be.

@sailor

No results found for “recalcitrant burrito vendors”.

Given what burrito can be slang for I am somewhat surprised.

And also given that, I am not sure that makes it a good band name or a bad one.

[Troy_McClure_SF]

@Jaglavak

Well, lately that’s been getting shortened up to just ‘Q’. There’s a little trace of a ‘th’ in there; sort of a ‘th-Q’ type of thing. I guess the guy knows me by now and that’s how I can tell we’re buddies. But the last couple of days I honestly can’t tell if he’s saying ‘th-Q’ or ‘f-Q’. Matter of fact it really sounds more like ‘f-Q’. And judging by looks that’s short for ‘eat hot death gringo boy’.

Dude, get out more.

Hmmm, she seems just professionally friendly to me.
I wouldn’t mind being way wrong about that tho!

Yeah sure, it’s right up there; the number 7 combo with a coke, refried beans, chalupa, and the complimentary cardio paddles.

[late 60’s psychedelic guitar] I was drawn to this. uh, thread like a moth to a flame, man. Like a moth to a flame. Groovy![/late 60’s psychedlic guitar - Vincebus Eruptum kinda thing, dude]

Apologies to the OP, but the imagery was just too strong… man!

SHIT! I O’d’d (O deed?) Whatever, man… on them Exxelon patches, man!
