So, now I have evidence that someone else things Nick is a hot stud. Well...I did, until we used said evidence to see "9" last night. The other day, someone gave Nick some free movie tickets at work. I asked why (that's usually my first question to just about everything), and he didn't know. I assumed that whoever it was thought he was irresistible. That was, until he told me it was a guy...then it got too creepy to think about.
We showed up at the theater half an hour early. Not because we wanted a good seat, but because there wasn't enough time to go to dinner before the movie started. Since the movie was free, we got a popcorn to share. We had the theater to ourselves until right before the previews ended, when a small family (two kids) came in. Amazingly, they were quiet! It was like having the theater to ourselves. The movie was good...just good. Nick didn't like it, and I have to agree that it didn't live up to the promises made by the trailer.
Afterwards we went to KFC. It's been a while since we went there, and I really wanted a nice, hot pot pie. When we get there, we're asked the second most famous fast food question..."Dine in, or to go?....The dinning room closes in 15 minutes." I guess take out it is. We then give our order, and the night's true entertainment began.
They don't have pot pies...a whole pan of them got dropped earlier and they lost six...the last six...it's been like a Monday today. They don't have the chicken fillets either...they were a promotional item...they've been back ordered for three months now. We ask if there is anything else that they're out of, and get a list of five things...including the original recipe. We finally piece together a meal from what they do have. The cashier throws in a free drink to apologise for the meager selections. Grand total...$8! There's no way that's going to be enough food. Nick asks for a couple of chocolate chip cookies...they don't have cookies. I get the distinct feeling that, if it were possible, the cashier would rather run home and bake cookies instead of admitting that they were out. He threw in some brownie bites, for free. While we were paying Nick observed, "That's the first time that I had to bargain for fast food."
The poor cashier! He was trying really hard to keep us from getting annoyed, and we were too busy enjoying the hilarity of the situation to be annoyed.
Semi-private theater...$0
Medium popcorn with butter...$4.95
Dinner at KFC...$7.56
The first Thursday date-night....priceless

that is a good one. I also think it is funny when the restaurant has an item that they are out of.
