Title: Deja Food (1/1) Authors: Cousin Shelley and Arletta Asbury Faction: Cousins Date: July 9th, 2001 Time: Evening several hours after "Peaches and Curry (1/1)" Disclaimers: All participants used with permission Shelley parked her van outside the next establishment on their list, 'The Lost & Found Pub and Grill' with a sense of deja vu. "We've been here before, haven't we?" asked Arletta. "But I don't remember when." Shelley sighed. "It was when Lush Nick was missing. We found him here, drinking. Or rather I found him, you stayed in the car, remember?" "Oh, you're right. No wonder the outside looked so familiar. But isn't this just a bar, it wouldn't serve food?" "I think the word 'Grill' in the name means it serves hot sandwiches. What does the guide book say?" "Hot and cold sandwiches, beer on tap, 3 stars," she read. Shelley nodded. "Let's go in." -------------------- This waitress took their usual order of *everything on the menu* without batting an eye. Apparently she was used to odd behavior in the customers. When she returned with their food, Shelley and Arletta added the tester solution and got lovely shades of green from most of it, although there were patches of yellow and orange too. But, as usual, there wasn't a hint of blue anywhere. Arletta looked over at Shelley and noticed she was beginning to match the new color of the turkey and swiss on rye sandwich (lime green). "Uh, Shelley? Are you okay?" "I don't think I am," Shelley replied, turning a shade closer to the new color of the french fries in front of them. "Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but you know, you *don't* have to sample EVERY bit of food we order ... this IS our 24th restaurant in 5 hours, after all!" Shelley's only response was to gurgle something incoherently and turn a color one shade darker than the new color of their ham and mustard sandwich. "Ummmmmm," Arletta began, "we only have a few more places to try today ..." Shelley ran out of the establishment screaming. *************
