Kentucky Fried Photo Restoration
I enjoyed finding Precious Photos'photo restoration news from 1999. Some jewels include "Precious Photos appears to be setting up to become the 'Microsoft' of the Photo Restoration Industry." and "It is unknown, at this time, what the initial offering price will be however, 39% of Precious Photos stock will be made available to the public." Wow. Now, keep in mind this was 5 years ago. Every great internet idea was going public. And it was a great site and great idea.
It reminds me of one of the most embarassing things I've ever done. At the time, I wasn't the least bit embarassed, but, like the above "news" from 1999, it seemed a good idea at the time. This was 1998, and my then employer took us to the most expensive restauraunt in Salt Lake City for our Christmas party. I'd heard about this place, but I'd never been. So first, I drive up, and it was totally set up for valet parking, but I was too embarassed to have them valet park my shabby car, so I lamely drove my car the 200 yards to the parking lot and hiked up to the restauraunt. So I get inside, and it's beautiful, I mean, WOW. The waitresses had their bosoms overflowing the old medieval type dresses they wore. The menu was awesome, with food I'd never had the chance to eat before. I decided to order the food that I'd never seen on a menu, like escargot, and that kind of thing. It was really fun.
Then came the moment of truth. The lady took my drink order. Now, I'm LDS and don't drink alcohol. I wasn't going to order a sprite or milk which is what I usually order, so what do you think I ordered? I was out of my mind, I was OUT OF MY MIND. Here I am in this restaurant which was better than any restauraunt I'd seen in any movie and I ordered something that I'd seen people order in movies, even though I had NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS. I asked for.... wait for it..... A Non-Alcoholic Sex On The Beach.
I have no idea what a "Sex on the Beach" drink is. It could be pure alcohol for all I know. I asked for a Non-Alcoholic Sex On the Beach. The waitress, seeing the actual situation (the one that I'd see later) was probably embarassed for me. She asked "What does that consist of?" so she could just place the order. I had no idea. So we decided some fruit stuff, like pineapple juice and apple juice.
It seemed like the thing to do at the time, but now, looking back (and I mean, the next day looking back) what a stupid thing to order! So pretentious! I was the poster boy for being a hick in a fancy restauraunt. To order what this clean-cut Utahn saw as the "cool" thing to order in such a setting... A Non-Alcoholic Alcoholic Specialty Drink. Oh man. LOL. Well, I guess, like the aforementioned web news... It's ok as long as it's not immortalized on the internet.
School starts tomorrow, and I'm taking 3 classes. Between work, my family, PRD and CharleyFix, and now school, this is going to be.... interesting. Press release is going out on Thursday night for a Friday morning release.
