compliment whore!

the other day, while trying to decide where i should go for my morning coffee, i mentioned how the woman at the mcdonald's drive thru told me she liked my tie. well, this morning i went back to mcdonald's, this time for an iced coffee. i was wearing a different tie, and once again this same woman told me she liked my tie. so i started to wonder, is she a compliment whore who compliments everyone's tie or do i just have the most ridiculously awesome tie collection on earth? as it stands now, both are possibilities.

so naturally, i'm going to do some research and find out. and by research i mean i will get mcdonald's breakfast again later in the week, but this time i will wear an ugly tie. not tomorrow though, because i'll probably be hungover from $1 draft night, and will need an orange juice coolata (good call matt) from dunkin donuts. it couldnt hurt to give it a day or 2 either.

if i get another compliment, i will just feel dirty and cheap and used, not unlike most of the food mcdonald's serves daily. but i guess maybe that would be a little ironic, and i'm a man who loves some good irony. after all, i hate mexicans...and i'm half mexican. it's like rain on your wedding day, or a free ride when you've already paid. oh wait, no it isnt. that's not irony alanis, that's just stuff that sucks. the song is about irony, yet the singer doesnt know the meaning of the word. now that's ironic...or is it?

maybe she's not a compliment whore, maybe she just has a crush on you. to really research this you would have to stake out the place and see if she compliments other guys who wear ties.

well, i'm not prepared to go that far. and if you saw this woman you would know that your comment brings images to mind that are so repulsive that they're second only to this in their ability to induce vomit.

it always bothered me that that song didn't have much irony in it, but the bit about being afraid to fly, then finally taking a flight and dying is ironic

who cares about service people and what they say, "have a nice day" is totally meaningless when they are required to say it to everyone, then again when I worked on the boats, I really meant "watch your head," really, "WATCH YOUR FUCKING HEAD MORON" then yet again some dumbass walks into the top of the doorway and looks at us like we did something wrong. I told you.

How about "10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife"? That's kind of ironic...
I've got my money on the possibility that McDonald's Compliment Whore is just trying to get you to leave your hard-earned cash in the ridiculous "tip cup." I hate the tip cup.
Next time tell her you like her uniform.

oh. my. god. i knew that link was going to be gross - nice, thanks a ton for that image.

actually, when i opened that link, i was in the middle of taking a sip of water, and then i started laughing and coughing. so much so it made me law clerk ask me if everything was ok in here. "just looking at one of dicta's nasty links," i told him.

You are definitely the first person to comment on how the lyrics in that song don't actually describe irony, and how that is ironic. Yup, the first person ever :).
How come I got cut from your links? Just cause my blog has been crap lately? lame.
