China Buffets

Today was our first trip to a Chinese Buffet in Hutchinson. As many of you know, I've been to a chinese buffet a time or two in my day, and I've decided that the chinese buffet is the first line of offense in the brewing USA-China "cold war." Clearly China saw it coming much earlier than we did. They saw us planting McDonald's(es) all over the world, making people of all nationalities fatter and fatter, and thought, "Hey, how can we possibly one up the US in our quest to take over the world?" The first answer that popped into their heads must have been 'feed them until they burst.' And we graciously oblige.

I had two big plates of some real good rice and chicken, and some crab rangoons that made Muncie's seem pretty bad. But deep down inside, I could hear all the waiters and waitresses chuckling in the back room at how they were winning the first battle, slowly but surely...

You win again China. You always do.

You'll be happy to know that as of yesterday the Muncie Chinese buffet was still living up to its reputation: more food than you care to eat followed an hour later by deep, deep regret for having eaten it.

And I still haven't tried the Superman ice cream.

Every time you go to the local China buffet just think about your cat jumping up on the wall, because that is what you are eating. Rules to live by, never trust anyone with two first names (i.e. Scott Allen) and chicken on a China buffet is never chicken

But it tastes so good.

I told the lady at the license plate desk to never trust a man with two first names. I don't think she got it.
