@kevin-eleven saidI'll always know you as C.S.! 😉 Were you putting an application in at Burger King? 😉
On a tangent (which of course never happens under such influences), my given name actually is Kevin, but at places where the clerks take your name to put it on the ticket, I have also been called Calvin or Kelvin (which is cool). Most recently, at a Burger King my name was put down as Haven, which I thought was very nice.

@very-rusty saidNo, and if I may answer you semi-seriously, it's because if I get a job at this stage (even though I'm just scraping by on my pension), I'd be taking a job away from someone who might really need it. That's short-term. I live in a capitalist, atomizing, alienating society, after all, not a real village.

Long-term, all those jobs might be eliminated in a few years by nanotech (where the people who could afford cars to drive to Burger King will just have them 3d-printed at home) or greenmods (where the people who can afford anything at all will just "go green" with chlorophyll mods and live off sunlight and sunlamps, with no appetite to eat physical food ever again).

I had assumed you were joking around.

@very-rusty saidIt seems you might be prone to wrong assumptions. Why not just take people at their word? A frog in a toaster oven is not necessarily a Tabarnak de Grenouille. 😉

Glad to see everyone getting along here. I just read over the posts and discovered the news of Lemon’s unfortunate situation and have rescued him. I asked him if was able to identify the person, or persons, who tied him up but he was only able to say that they had an odd accent. The authorities have been called. Now who wants what to eat or drink, or both?
@great-big-stees saidOdd accent - Swedish...?
