Two encounters......

1) This guy calling himself "Rainbow Man" approached my buddy in an internet cafe, and tried to explain that the limosine used in the movie Pretty Woman was his, and that he owned a ranch with 20,000 heads of cattle where he parks his limo in the stable. Then he proceeded to tell us that he created the Internet, and that his website is purely coded by 14,000 email addresses, all of which are his. Apparently he also turns the Internet on and off with a switch, and that Mount Royal College hired him to be a the Professor of Internet studies so he can show his wonderful invention to eager and willing students. Next, he tried to explain that all the trees you see in video games are his own creations, and if you look hard enough, you'll see his digital signature on the bottom of each one. Finally, he pulled us over to his computer he was using to show us the websites he made, such as www.pepsi.com and www.ford.com. He explained that these were his own creations, and that the companies were stealing from his own brain children.

At that point, the Cafe owner told him to pay up and leave, and he couldn't because he had no money. So he made it very clear to me and my friends that he was going to return with $8000 to pay his charge. The guy next to me quipped "If he returns with $8000, I'm going to punch him in the face and rob him." He never came back. Rats!

2) Anyone ever been to the Denny's on 16th ave NW? I don't know if he's there, but one of the servers there must have had an obsessive compulsive disorder, because he absolutely couldn't stand a mess. He would quickly wipe up any crumbs that fell off our dish, he cleaned up the spills from our drinks, and made sure the floor we were walking on wasn't muddy. He did each cleaning job within 30 seconds of it happening, it was bizarre. We decided to ahve a little fun with him - we started throwing pancakes on the windows and sticking our food everywhere and smearing syrup all over the table (I know, I know, but we were drunk)...He didn't say a word, he just ran over and with furious vigor, he clean those spots like it was a freakin' hosptial. I'm pretty sure he was mentally handicapped, but it was funny nonetheless!
