So I'm having dinner while watching an aweful vampire movie here in Vang Viene, Laos, when after about 30 minutes I realize that, written behind the TV at the restaurant are the words "Happy Ben Johnson Restaurant." Why call it that? Then I see the word "Happy" written just under the TV itself, and then again on the wall to my right. This prompted me to finally look around the place I had been eating my casual dinner at for the past half hour and find the walls absolutley COVERED with spray paint pictures of giant mushrooms, framed in the words "Happy" and "Fun." In giant letters, on the wall lining most of the tables of the restaurant, the words "Try our Delicious SPECIAL Mushroom shake" were staring down at me. Then I look down to see I had been eating the mushroom pizza. After a closer look at the menu, I found I was lucky to order just the "Mushroom pizza" and not the "SPECIAL mushroom pizza," which was twice as expensive. Laos, of all places. At least now I know where to go for New Year's. Happy 31st from here.

Oh yeah, and I finally figured out how to enable anonymous comments. go nuts.
