| What's my name? |
Just in time for October Charley's Chili has taken on a new employee (of sorts) who will work beside me at the stove. Not sure if I'll let him into the truck - but maybe on Halloween night. We've entered the age of automation and, believe it or not, this fine fellow is a robot - battery operated and very inefficient. All he can do is laugh, jerk around in spastic angst and shoot lazars out of his eyes. No help at all for cooking, but great for keeping children away from my cook. But he's very good company most of the time talking only when spoken to and following orders to a tee. Just yesterday he stayed standing still for 8 hours and hardly moved a muscle. The only annoying trait is the way he attacks me at the end of the night as soon as I turn out the light - chasing me out into the parking lot tugging at my hair and biting my neck. It's all I can do to fling him to the ground, hastily get in my car and speed off into the darkness. He has not yet been named - taking suggestions at chasmath@charleyschili.com.
