I want meat!
I send Mom to the local BBQ joint and ask her to pick up some pork and ribs for dinner. She comes back and tells me, like I'm the dumb ass, "There's no meat today, only shrimp. It's Ash Wednesday. This is a Catholic town, you know." They're a fucking BBQ place! If they're open, I'd expect them to have BBQ. In all my years living in this town, I've never come across this. Sure, a lot of places have fish specials on this day and the Fridays during Lent, but I've never seen them abandon their whole menu! If they named their restaurant "Religious Foods R Us", then yeah, I wouldn't expect meat today. But they're a fucking BBQ place! I would say that I'm not going back there because of this shit, but they're the only BBQ in town.
