A Beautiful Mind at IHOP.
Toshi is here visiting! So after a long day walking the monuments, we were hungry and IHOP with its beautiful 24/7 sign was right there when we got off the metro. So we decided we needed the massive amount of fried and fattening food IHOP provides for $6.99.
What we didn't realize was that we were also going to get free entertainment from a schizophrenic guy who shared our hankering for pancakes late at night. Now I was a psychology major and I do not usually laugh at mentally disturbed people, but this guy was too much. He had a great narrating voice (almost George Clooneyesque) and he would randomly boom out strings of random thoughts across the entire IHOP. Some of my favorites follow:
- "Mom, get out of the choir! Get out of the choir! I have to go shopping with Paris Hilton. SO HOT!! Paris needs me to go shopping with her! It's Labor Day weekend and Paris needs to shop! Her dog died, Mom, get OUT OF THE CHOIR!"
- "Man I miss my buddies from Gettysburg! Left them on the battlefield...left 'em there...left 'em there...they're DEAD...they'd have a cheese steak with me. I NEED A CHEESESTEAK HERE!"
- "Camelot...bunch of CRAP! Marilyn Monroe is MY girlfriend! I'd shoot him too. Shoot Camelot right there. BAM! A burger. I want a BURGER! Now you see, now you see why they have to tax it all. It's the letters - B should come before A. They have to tax B! B is the tax!"
It was pretty incredible. That's only like 2% of it. He went on and on but it was so random that none of us could retain any more of it.
