Death on a fork

# Chapter 299

How do people do this every day and every week? Go to buffets and eat and eat and eat and eat?? I mean I had an all-America favorite pastime experience yesterday, we took friends out to an all you can eat seafood buffet. This indulgence led me to hours and hours of discomfort and pain, and I asked myself and why why why did I do this to myself?? And then the bigger question is why and how do people do this to themselves over and over? Why did I do this to myself for years and years and why did I do this to myself yesterday?

It gets worse. In typical buffet fashion, the food was perfectly average and way overpriced. And I mean way way overpriced! In fact this was the most money I have ever spent for a meal for four people at one sitting. I had paid some astronomical prices for meals in exotic places, but person for person this was over $80 a plate when calculated with the tip! For average food! In a bar! The caveat of course is that they will keep bringing you more death on a fork until you squeal stop. And then you need a gurney or wheelchair to cart you back to your car to go home and moan and groan all afternoon and evening about how much your stomach hurts. This is culturally defined as living the good life, living it up, or whatever, no thank you. I am done with buffets.
