Taco Bell:

Over the weekend, I attended several parties, hanged out with some brothers who came for the weekend. The major incident for the weekend happened at Taco Bell...

Friday Nite:

Saturday Night:






























Taco Bell:

FrecklesFly, David and I headed to Taco Bell after Zeke's to grab some thing to eat before going home. David was driving in front of and he confused the workers when he showed up and told them the order he got was not for him because he wrote down what he wanted to order (duh, Deaf people do not speak into those damn Oral machines).

When David and the other car in front of us got their food, it was our turn to order, we had our order written down on paper for the cashier to take our order. The cashier wrote us a note saying the Manager has stopped serving food. We were skeptical and questioned why there were still cars lined up behind us, but we left the drive thru lane, not satisfied with what the cashier told us, I grabbed my camera and walked to the drive thru lane and indeed Taco Bell was still serving food. I decided to take pictures of them red handed.

I think they were surprised that I was taking pictures that they tried to delay handing out food in hope I would leave. It was like a good 5 minute stand-off until they finally gave up and handed over the food to the people in the car (who were in the middle of our stand-off and baffled at what was going on).

While I was taking pictures, another Deaf dude walked up to me and asked what was going on, I explained that they obviously rejected my order because I did not make it thru the Oral Machine and he said he was just rejected too!
Photo One: The cashier conducting the financial transaction with the car that was behind me.











Photo Two: The customers receiving their order after being stuck in the middle of a stand-off between my camera and the product hander staff.











Photo Three: After learning that they were still serving customers, we decided to go back into the line, but they closed up at 3 am, leaving those poor low-wage workers behind.










Now what next? I plan to talk to the manager today and ask why Taco Bell rejected Deaf customers who could not make their order through the Oral Machine. I will update you all with the respond I get.

I would like to thank bg0ur3 and David for their suggestions on how to handle this situation.

Where's your meat? (Update Nº. 1)

I have not had time to work with other people to develop rules and ideas on how to make this game an international game, but hopefully soon we will have the rules. This is just a sneak preview of what players can expect when participating in "Where's your meat?".

Today I finally uploaded the pictrues of the meat I hid. I also checked to see if anyone found the meat, thankfully no one found the dead piglets so their carcass is still lying around in Tower A.

This is the photo of the two dead piglets before
they were hidden in their cold dark grave!

As you can see, the carcass has shrunk and hardened.
Take time to notice that I also preserved the bag the
meat came in!

Keuka Lake State Park

FrecklesFly and I went to Keuka Lake State Park 14.10.05 - 16.10.05 to camp and do some hiking.  We went even when it was probably going to rain and it did rain most of the night on Friday. 

Saturday made our trip worth it because it stopped raining most of the day and was sunny too.  During our hike the sun made the coloured leafs more vibrant and colourful.  After our day of hiking, we went to the shelter to have our VERY late lunch and the shelter was very simple and beautiful!  We spent the rest of our late afternoon relaxing and going into town to get some more drinks to enjoy over our camp fire. 

We used the two bundles of fire wood that we "stole" for our fire, but realized that the wood was way too dry and would burn out whin one hour so FrecklesFly found some wood planks thrown in the forest that were very wet, but after standing them up near the fire and drying them out, they proved to be excellent fire wood!

It was also sunny and not raining Sunday morning, but the clouds were coming by and seemed to say that it would rain so we packed up as early as we could and headed back to Rochester.

I would like to try doing some winter camping in the Algonquin Park (for those who do not know where that park is, it is located in Ontario, Canada).

P.S. I will check on the dead piglets and let you know if anyone won yet.  I am hoping the carcass has turned into mold and is infested with maggots, but for some reason in today's dependency on toxic chemicals, the dead piglets will not be rotten.

Where's your meat?

On our way back to America, we stopped at McDonald's for breakfast sandwiches. I still have a hard time understanding why the fack they thought I wanted meat on my Egg McMuffins (where the hell do you see ham in that phrase "Egg McMuffins", if there was ham, it would have made more sense to them Egg & Ham McMuffins)!

Anyways let's get to the point... We had to take the ham off our Egg McMuffins and later tonight I found them in the McDonald's paper bag. I decided that since we paid for the dead pig, I had to made my money worth it (and of course make the piglets' death worth it too). The question was HOW do I make it worth it?

The answer I came up with was to play a... GAME!

Remember how you played hide-and-seek with your other buddies when you were young? Well, it's time to play hide-and-seek, but the only difference is... you are going to play with two pieces of dead piglets! I have taken pictures of the dead piglets 15 hours after they were taken off the McMuffins and I hid them somewhere.

Once in a while I am going to check their hiding places to see how they are doing. I just want to see how long it takes a carnivore human to find their two dead piglets.

If you find them, please take photos of them and post the location where you found them in the comment space. The goal of this game is to find the meat before they become infested with maggot, rotten and moldy! If you succeed at finding the two dead piglets, you will get a prize from me!

Let the very first game of "Where's your meat?" begin!

Ah, one more thing... RIT's vending machines suck with vegetarian options (they were better last with vegetarian options year) so once in a while I may be forced to add more dead animal carcass to the "Where's your meat?" game!

When I get the pictures of the two dead piglets uploaded to my computer, I promise to introduce the two dead piglets to you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just got back from being in Canada for thanksgiving.  It was nice to be back in Canada and have a break from America.  It was also interesting making normal purchases with American dollars with no exchange value and yes, I know I lost some money by using American dollars, but am glad I am at least helping the Canadian dollar get stronger.

My mother also made her very first tofurkey, it pretty much tasted very similar to the tofurkey I ate last year that was purchased from Wegman's.  We had plenty to eat, and I am pretty sure the carnivores were glad they had more dead turkey to themselves.  Let's just hope they do not become intoxicated with salmonella or e-coli.

The highways in New York State have gotten more dangerous now.  New York State has decided to annoy drivers with huge technological signs crossing the roads illumated with LED lights saying "Drive at Speed Limits" "Expect State Enforcement" (am not sure if I memorized these two annoying sentences correctly, they were just too annoying to memorize). As usual, no one was obeying these warnings and I was following a car that was travelling at 85 miles per hour.

As we got near Rochester, I noticed a grey car parked on the side of the road and lucky for me I thought it was a police car and quickly slowed down, and all of sudden three police cars were visible, one came onto the road and got behind me.  I thought I was doomed, but the pig's car zoomed past me and pulled over the car I was following.  Just in less than 30 or 45 seconds we saw four narc cars within a strip of 1/8 miles and three of them had already pulled over three cars!

How's that for making I-90 more dangerous!  I drove all the way in Canada on the 401 and 403 (feels good not using letters for Canadian highways!) going at 130 to 150 kilometers per hour with no fear of pigs pulling me over.  My only fear was having to slow down for slow cars in front of me.

Endangered Species of Rochester: (Update)

This update is long past its due date. Approximately one week after I made my post about the endangered species of Rochester on the thirteenth day of September, my concerns were answered!

It seems obvious that the mayor of Rochester actually read my post and realized it was time to take care of my concern before I got more people involved. I am proud to announce that since my post debuted, more than one block of these species have been breed to prevent them from becoming extinct in Rochester!


I hope that they do not stop the effort to bring more of them into Rochester now that I seem to be satisfied. Thanks to my efforts to get attention to this issue, more people can enjoy these species and improve their health.

Note: This picture was taken at the very opposite end of the path where my first picture in my original post was taken in case you wondered. I also planned on taking a picture with the rescue workers, but it was too late, they left before I could take the picture with them.
