It was a joke that ran over the course of four posts. You missed it. It happens. To make sure there are no further misunderstandings, I will break Boblobla's post:

Have they ever. I got into an altercation with one and now my mom is petrified. She wants me to move in with a wealthy black family.
MMF asked if they were making trouble in your neighborhood. This is a line from the Fresh Prince theme song. Boblobla recognized this and instead of quoting the song word for word, he made subtle hints at it. The altercation was when Will Smith was playing basketball in West Philadelphia, hit a guy named Omar Phelps with the ball and then was spun around above Omar's head in the opening credits. The word petrified is a synonym for the word scared. When Boblobla says he is to move in with a wealthy black family, that is a very subtle play on words alluding to the Banks family of Phillip, Vivian, Carlton, Hilary and Ashley. They are African-American, very wealthy, and even have their own butler named Geoffrey.

Your response was to ask if I was on my period. Another swing and miss. As a male, it would be impossible for that to occur in me. If the comment "Welcome to the internet" upsets you to that degree, you are not going to enjoy your stay on it much, if at all.

Things don't seem to add up. I thought it was just the Oilers that dined this way.

If it was the oilers that did that, their d-men would all been left behind, standing still while everyone walked around them.

True. If he was a Yop-Gobbler he would have been doing this at a Montana's or BP's. You know, suburbian fine dining establishments....

This is kind of crappy thing for the restaurant to do. For example, we a had a new guy start with us from CBRE (are biggest competitor) and he looks exactly and I mean EXACTLY like the guy in this picture. I’m not sure if it was jokingly or not but the MD from CBRE sends my MD an email with the subject “Nice hire” and a link to the article. New guy gets pulled into a boardroom and asked if it was him. He basically has a panic attack and swears it wasn’t him but they look so similar there is still doubt in some people’s eyes. So he goes down to restaurant and asks to the speak to manager, has the manager call my MD and tell him that it wasn’t him.

Everything is a good now but the poor guy could have lost his job and had a mild heart attack so that this restaurant could try recover a couple hundred dollar bill from some hipster.

So.... does your company feel bad for hiring a hipster?

They've been back for 11 days already. I've had six. I can hear myself getting fatter.

Not to get into semantics here, but I don't think this guy is a hipster. And I say that as someone who used to live right next to the nexus of the hipster universe: Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The stereotypical hipster (at the current moment) I know weights 85 pounds, has a civil-war era beard, collects designer axes because thinks he's an urban woodsman, and rides a fixie. He probably also wears a neon wife beater and Raybans while skateboarding.

But he doesn't wear a baggy oversized suit and Chuck Taylors.

I'm not sure what this guy is, but he's got more of a hobo-dufus-trying to be suave in my dads suit-kind of vibe.

Or he just might be from Saskatchewan.
