20 people, that's all?  Fuck it, i'm done.

Well, yeah.

You know that we pretty much haze any n00bs here until they either cough up some funny or just leave.  Some of the n00bs become regulars and can pull up their own stool to the bar - others get pissy and go home. 

That's how we likes it.

Damn that's a great story Paul, you've made me realise how long it's been since I've gone to my local greek fest (and enjoyed the delicious greek shortbread).

In Denver my sister took me to this great greek restaurant where the owners are these super gregarious, happy, friendly people. They are totally different from the Greek restaurant owners that live here. They are never happy. It is tough for me to continue to patronise them after having experienced awesome, happy Greeks who ply me with free ouzo.

There's a greek festival here every year.. also a polish one and a german one.  They're basically pretty fun.

It is bees that die when they sting you. They tear themselves inside out or something. Lovely!

Bees stingers are barbed and remain in your skin as the bee pulls away. The venom sac remains attached to the stinger and continues pumping venom after the bee leaves. The bee dies shortly thereafter.

Wasps have a smooth needle-like stinger that can sting over and over again.

I'm never sure what that says about them. I guess the whole bee martyr thing is kind of depressing, and wasps seem kind of evil.
Bee martyrs. They couldn't really be swayed by bee virgins could they?

I've never even heard of a greek festival before, but I looked to see if Atlanta has one, and we do! It's coming up in October. I am excited. Thanks, Paul, for broadening my horizons!

Greek festivals rock.  Wasps suck.  It's comforting that there are some clear black and white truths in this crazy world.

Wasps are our friends.  I saw yesterday that the wasp is still in my car, very much alive.  I've forgiven him for stinging me.  We've moved past that.

Okay now, Paul, you are trying too hard to be a good guy. 

In waspland, what happed was this: your wasp buddy was all like: "I kill you!  I kill you!" and then shived you with the sharpest object at had, which was convieniently attached to his body. 

If you had a roommate do this one day in real life, then came home to find him still there, and still holding the shive the next day, would you be all like "Yeah, man.  Everythings cool?"  Would you?

Wasps are beautiful.  This wasp has repaid me for the sting by adding beauty to my life.

Which roommates are, by definition, incapable of doing.

Well, except for that one girl...
