Chapter: Comics
I want there to be a high end fancy restaurant that uses crazy straws. That would be great to walk into the dining room with the dramatic lighting and fabric table cloths and see well dressed adults watching their red wine travel through all the twists and turns of their straws. I would order milk so that I could blow bubbles.

Messed up instrument week!
Biff has some powerful lungs if he can drink milk through that.
I like the crazy straws idea. To add to the atmosphere, they could put their spices on the meat in the shape of a smiley face.
its a sad thing that im so disturbed that for a second i didnt think that was milk
also my friend works at a somewhat formal place where you can opt for crazy straws
What did you think it was? White paint? Come on…
Agreed, Chris and Torg – A formal restaurant with childish elements thrown in would be awesomly surreal. Maybe eat your food with your fingers (and yes, I know that many Morroccan places already do that!), or maybe give you crayons so you can draw on the linen table cloths… Along those lines, anyway.
😉
At Roma’s Macaroni Grill the server writes their name on the table cover with crayons. It’s a semi-formal dining place on the upper side of semi-formal. I’m usually the only person in t-shirts that aren’t plain there when I go. It’s funny when i’ve had the chance to go with friends and draw penises and such all over the table and write dirty messages just to see the waiter’s reaction when they come back with drinks or whatever.
That would be fun. But you would need to get some kid’s menus and some crayons, too.
I love crazy straws! Too bad I can’t get my hand on them anymore…
Sometimes I wonder if chris gives out multiple themes in the starting comic of a week and chosses the predicted theme in a comic that he likes best. There’s crazy ways to eat/drink, instruments, maybe even the theme in his comments might be the theme! I sure hope it’s that last one.
Also, if I could make a restraunt, I’d make it like that, but I’d also make the staff have to be posh and gangster at the same time.
Imagine, you’re sitting there at your table, then a waiter wearing a vest with a hood and a zipper and a backwards top hat over that hood and black jeans with holes in them comes over to your table and says, “Yo mah mates, I do say that I’d like to know what youzzles be having, but I dear say don’t be indescive or else I’ma pop a cap on yo tea.”
I’m just obsessed with posh gangsters.
And for the music in that place, you’d be seeing someone entirely posh with no gangster elements scracting records with a top hat look to them, and a gangster guy with no posh elemnts playing a piano with graffiti on it.
That’s like the best idea I’ve ever heard.
@T3chW01f;
Yeah, but Macaroni Grill covers the table in butcher paper. I want to scribble on LINEN!
Oooh… How about condiment finger-painting on the tablecloth..?! Kinky!
I’m guessing the theme is something like “WEll, it’s not good for THIS, but I can use it for THIS”
“Biff learns that crazy-straw trombones are more fun than effective.”
This is why I’m learning piano…:D
@Andore Mordre;
But how do you plan on drinking your milk with a piano..?
alternate text and first thing that came to my mind:
Biff learns not to sneeze when playing the trumpet.
@MaskedMan
Hollow keys.
I love that idea, Trevor!
Thanks Garrett! I wonder if I could make alchoholic tea…
Haha. I love crazy straws but they take a lot of breath to suck up the liquid.
That is one mashed up trumpet… I play the trombone, and if it ever resembled anything like that my music teacher would KILL ME.
Ha, at first I thought he was eating mashed potato through it. @.@
And I would love a resturant like that…
There actually is a place you can get a DIY crazy straw. Looks like a pipes screen saver if you do it right. Go to thinkgeek.com and search for crazy straw. You’ll love it!
@ trevor: Actually, there is a whole chain of “Gangster”-themed pizza restaurants called “Godfather’s Pizza”.
I used to have a Godfather’s Pizza in the town where I lived…
That was the name, at least. Either it was a different franchise or the restaurant was really sucky. It was located in a bowling alley…
I work at Walgreens.
We sell crazy straws that are shaped like flip-flops.
It makes me loathe that form of footwear more than I already did.
Oh, and as for themes: I assure you they are decided beforehand.
If you join the forum, there is a small chance of participating in this process.
“Biff designs a trumpet for eating sausage and gravy”
The lung is not involved in drinking, it’s all the toungue. I have a bizarre tendency to study my bodily functions.
Messed up instruments do have a purpose. It usually makes me laugh.
