I'm five years ahead of my time.

Sometimes, ever so briefly, I think that I should know better by now. Then I realize that I have to do these things. Why?

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Okay, kids, this here is the counter at Empire Chinese Restaurant, a delightful little place in campustown at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.



They're delightful people. Very nice and the food they produce is excellent.

I love the first wall sign you see on your left when you walk in. It's very post-modern or something.



Wait, something seems amiss about that crispy whole fish photo.

Let's take a closer look, shall we?



Now, I could be imagining things, but the limes, avocado slices, and two Mexican beers make me think that they cribbed this shot from the wrong restaurant catalog.

Oh, right, yeah. The cactus, too.

Anyway, they've got a massive menu, but this day I was only interested in one thing.

See if you can guess.



No, much though I want to know what the hell they mean, it was not the "Fritters of Twinteed Dough."

No, I'm far too stupid to try that.

First time was gross.

Second time was not as bad but still...unpleasant.

And now?



What the hell, me?

What. The. Hell.

Thank heavens it was filmed.


So there you have it.

It seems that I learned a valuable lesson.

If you can figure out what it is, you go ahead and let me know, yes?

OH! And we're planning a Super-Explodo So You Don't Have To where I go through a bunch of the stuff that I've gotten...in rapid-fire format.

As always, I accept donations of WTFkery here:

Hope this isn't too many Twitters for you. If it is, the Sit and Spin is over in the corner.
