I read one of the funniest things in a long time today on Daring Fireball, the blog for John Gruber. John was apparently smoking some really good drugs when reflecting on Apple’s new color scheme for iTunes when he wrote this telephone call transcript. Good stuff.

A quick followup on the Worst. Dining. Experience. Ever. I called today and talked with Craig, the manager of the Melting Pot in Indianapolis. While not the most professional person (if you have to cough, please do NOT do it into the phone), he was accommodating. He refunded half the cost of our dinner (well, okay, $40 off of $82 is actually 49%). He also hoped we would come back and see them when they open their new Greenwood store in 9 months or so. I gave him a maybe. Thinking about fondue makes me nauseous now.
Last night, Holly and I went out to celebrate her upcoming birthday. We decided to go out and have a nice dinner out. We opted for The Melting Pot. It’s a fondue restaurant. We went there last year and had a wonderful time. We were there about three and a half hours, had a wonderful waiter, and spent about $130 after tip. We got all dressed up (shirt and tie for me. Holly bought a new outfit, had her hair and makeup done professionally… it was a big deal.)
Well, when we arrived, and our waitress managed to get cheese sauce all down the sides of the fondue pot while melting the cheese up, we knew it was not going to be as promising…. But wait, it gets better.
This is a very interesting story, but, it’s long, so I’m going to continue it after the break. Trust me, it’s worth reading on.
Pictures speak a thousand words.
I took this yesterday.
