I went to Chipoltle last night. I was picking up something for both myself and my roommate. I asked for a Burrito and a Bowl. The guy pulled out a bowl and put a tortilla in it. I said, “No, I would like a burrito, and I would also like a bowl.” He said, “Huh?” “Two items. One of which is a burrito, and the other is a bowl.” He just looked at me like I had pi heads. “Grab a piece of foil, and then move that tortilla onto it.” No clue. I persisted though, until I finally got my food. Sometimes banging your head against a wall is good for you. Anyway, I have seen many times when I have seen people explaining the same thing over and over again, and I find it interesting, as it is a different way of looking at things, and sometimes I have found value in the 27th time something was explained. And who knows, maybe sometimes they actually aren’t trolls, but actually don’t get it, and all it takes is the 28th explanation to get through. It’s hard to not correct ignorance. It’s even harder when that ignorance is _about_ you and your posts. If I was allowed to just call him a liar, that would make it easier, as there are things that he says that are not true, and he has no reason to not know that, especially since we’ve gone over it before. Maybe I’ll just listen to discourse when it tells me that I have replied too many times to a person in a thread. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > I’ve never noticed SayTwo before. Another who returned with the Board change? I don’t know anything about his history and originally intended to only ignore him in the The Quarantine Zone, as it’s quite possible that he’s a wonderful contributor to something like Cafe Society, but then I responded to some of his inanity in that forum without realizing that it was the same guy. To make things easier, I went ahead and added him to my ignore list, so I’ll miss out on his wonderfully insightful movie reviews, recipes, or musical artists (if he actually has anything like that). ---

One of which is a burrito, and the other is a bowl.” He just looked at me like I had pi heads. “Grab a piece of foil, and then move that tortilla onto it.” No clue. I’d have been confused as well. A “bowl” is a container. A “burrito bowl” is what you wanted to order. “I’d like to order a burrito and a burrito bowl” should have gotten the point across. Either way, I now think the word “bowl” is super weird, and it looks wrong when I type it… ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > “Super Bowl” - Try and wrap your head around that. It’s “the big game” now! You’re supposed to say, “the big game”! Naturally, just a regular bowl would be “the game”. Maybe that’s why the server was confused? If you’d said “a burrito and a ‘the game’” he’d have understood I bet. ---
