For someone who talks really low most of the time, I manage to talk loudly at the most inopportune times. Krug and I were at the Waffle House talking about the lame-ass movie ratings people, and how the way they rate things seems so damn arbitrary. See director's commentary on the Fight Club and South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut DVDs for examples. Anyways, it reminded me of the lesbian storyline on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and how it was cut. I couldn't remember if it was because of complaints from GALA or it was the test audiences, so I asked Krug. He reminded me it was the test audiences, who were interested whenever Jay and Silent Bob were on screen, but lost interest at the lesbian jewel thieves. So, being skeptical at such a concept, I scoffed at the test audiences and said "What are they, gay?!!" The jukebox literally had the screeching record sound, followed by Clive Clemmons coming out and playing a riff on his guitar and yelling "Inappropriate!" as the rest of the people at Waffle House turned and stared.

Now, I realize that seems slightly derogatory, even though I didn't mean to sound that way. I mean, I totally have no problem with guys or girls being gay. And of course, what a ridiculous statement to make anyways. I mean, thinking a guy is gay for not liking lesbian action? Its like that Simpsons where Jimbo and those other guys were making fun of Nelson for kissing Lisa. They were all "You kissed a girl! That is so gay!" Anyways, for a minute, I was worried that the waiter was gay, and I thought it was like that time at Applebee's with Mark, when I was being my usual annoying self. He hadn't touched his food yet, so I was joking around and remarking, "What, you're not hungry?!" So he shouts back, "Its because I don't have my damn silverware yet!" right as the waiter was right behind him. So the waiter was all "Oh, I'm so sorry sir!" But I digress. The waiter I think was just trying to overhear what we were talking about. Though the guys who came in and started playing BB Mak or O-Town on the jukebox were.

And someone started playing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" on the jukebox. I looked around for Bob or
