Musical chairs for idiots
The Herd of Cats' version
So supper at last nights LAN party got kind of entertaining. Not unusual for HoC events. First off though, MoriceRevek's offered supper was good. Particularly when you consider the complete and utter loss of his first attempt at sauce the previous night.
Stormblade started it off by taking over the head of the table. Grabbing the bowl and claiming "I'll take this spot because I am important!" Plus he took the bowl to claim his spot.
Then he took his bowl into the kitchen to get his supper.
Blackwalt then grabbed a bowl from the next spot over, moved to the head of the table and sat down with the new empty bowl.
People laughed except for Stormblade who came back to the table and sat down next to Blackwalt at the spot with no bowl. And he sighed. And he glared. And boy, can he glare.
Then he just sat there.
After two minutes Blackwalt said to him "you're just waiting for me to get up aren't you."
"Yes," replied Stormblade with an evil smile.
Blackwalt's turn to sigh. Other attendees may have laughed. A lot.
MoriceRevek came over to Blackwalt's stolen spot and asked "can I get a bowl for you?"
Why, yes, yes he could. So Blackwalt gave his bowl to Moricerevek and Moricerevek headed into the kitchen to fill it for Blackwalt. Stormblade's glare switched targets.
Stormblade sighed again. Loudly and stated "fine," got up and took the other end of the table, displacing Moricerevek and moving MoriceRevek's already full bowl to the spot next to Blackwalt.
Much laughing ensued again.
Then Moricerevek came back, saw the new situation and may have complained. Out loud and often. Then he handed Blackwalt his bowl back.
Miserly filled with a single tablespoon of pasta and sauce at the very bottom of the bowl. Stormblade almost choked laughing so hard. Ha ha! Moricerevek wins. Blackwalt loses. Stormblade enjoys.
But wait… right next to Blackwalt is Moricerevek's completely full bowl of pasta and sauce. And Moricerevek went back to the kitchen leaving no one to protect his bowl.
Blackwalt swaps bowls with Moricerevek trading a full bowl for his spoonful.
Moricerevek's return is greeted with much laughter, his cursing as he returns to the kitchen (again) fills the room.
Blackwalt laughed so hard he could barely breath. No one offers to help. Stormblade cheered me on.
Another typical Herd of Cats' event. At least nobody died this time. Or came back.
P.S.: There was never any music.

to get to what exactly you guys were eating.
Even then, it was quite vague.
And who puts pasta in a bowl? How old are you guys? 12?
You put pasta in a pasta bowl if you have one available. I do. So I serve pasta in it. If I was serving lasagna or manicotti or cannelloni, I would have served it in a plate. But pasta in general (spaghetti, fettuccine, macaroni) is usually served in proper pasta bowls when available. I'm surprised I have to explain the etiquette of serving pasta to the half Italian dude.
PNWED!
And I had fresh grated Parmesan, and toasted homemade garlic butter cheddar cheese covered baguette.
Was a good meal. Wish you could have been there. Maybe next time you can be, when you get old enough, and buy yourself a car.
DOUBLE PNWED!
Lasagna needs to be served in a proper lasagna dish, otherwise how can it swim in exquisite meat sauce?
I do have those 'bowls', except that they are more of a plate bowl hybrid, and thus I would not refer them as bowls. And Blackwalt refered to them only as bowls, and not pasta bowls. Big difference.
Maybe next time you guys can have a LAN that isn't in the middle of nowhere, like at Stormblades!
I am an "Italian dude" too and will second the question. Who eats pasta in a frickin bowl?? What are you guys like 12? Do you use a spoon to twirl it too??!
Nah, their moms cut it into little pieces.
Where do you dig up the graphics exactly? Memories of your youth?
Guba
But I'm not sure why I'm in the middle. Is it my hair?
Either way, this story needs some kind of explanatory graphic.
