So yeah, these finals things? Ethics is wrapped up, C++ will be done by Friday, and hopefully I will do my 361 on Sunday. I am going to be short a few days since I am due at home this weekend. I seem to have a good grip on everything, though this is going to be my second all nighter in a row. (Was it my third? Hell I don't know anymore.) Anyway, onto the whole reason I write in this thing, to entertain; even if the only person I entertain is myself.
Today's discussion has to do with strange English language. A few days ago, a couple of us ate at KFC (the alternative was shitty DC food) and we ordered our food and ate our meal. The story about the manager and the story about the 1/2 gallon cup for $1.29 will have to wait. Instead, I have a small little story about those little pieces of paper that you get on your tray to help them clean up the mess. You know, the piece of paper that usually has advertisements on it, and you don't read it because you used it to hold your catchup so you could dip your fries. Yeah, that one. Anyway, as I looked down to see what was really on the tray, I saw a phrase that caught my eye. Please see the image:
"We plate your meal and serve it up hot, at the peak of flavor perfection."
... What the hell does that mean? Well, since I wasn't entirely sure what they meant, I started drawing my own conclusions. The most obvious one is to put something on a plate. However, plate is not a transitive verb in this sense, so it has to mean something else. How about to plate meaning "to reinforce with a metal, to increase an object's integrity"> The food was rather hard to chew. Maybe adding steel adds to their flavor perfection.
Anywho, time for a nap or something before I really need to be up.
