Milkshakes

Milkshakes

While we were in Buffalo we went to a restaurant near our hotel and, as noted on the previous visit, the milkshakes, though very thick and resembling something unmentionable, tasted delicious so a lot of us ordered one - not just to take the mickey but also to enjoy the extremely good taste. Twelve of us ordered these lovely milkshakes and we waited for about five minutes only to be informed that the waitress had dropped them, 12 beautiful milkshakes wasted!

So, after nicknaming that waitress something unheard of to mankind, we waited about three more minutes and out she came again with our heavenly milkshakes and tried to put the tray down - yes, you guessed it, milkshakes went flying and so did the waitress trying to catch them. Twenty-four beautiful milkshakes wasted, we were on a roll! To our dismay we were then told that they had run out of milk, Even though we did enjoy seeing the waitress do her acrobatics, some of us were not so happy missing out on our delightfully thick milkshakes.

We do hope the waitress hasn't killed herself as the waitress we nicknamed Dolly Parton told her off extremely enthusiastically. We lost 24 milkshakes but gained a fun night.

Oh my god! It's such a funny post! Gosh! I can't stop laughing! It's just too ridiculous that the waitress can drop all the milkshakes!

not just to take the mickey but also to enjoy the extremely good taste.

Eh? Mickey? As in Mickey mouse straw or something?

'taking the mickey' is a quintessentially English phrase. The global equivalent is probably unprintable

but 'ribbing' and 'ridiculing' mean the same thing. Hope this helps

Serious? Oh my god! Thanks! I didn't know that! Haha.

Yep, in this instance it means 'not just to have a laugh'....

Yes, it's all in good taste. There's a difference between light hearted 'mickey' taking and venemous character assasination. Libera were definately in the former camp. Maybe the waitress was a mad closet Libera fan, and like us, had all thier CD's and followed them on the internet, and there they were, 12 of them turning up out of the blue, make her all wibbly wobbly and star struck.

She should have made three carrying trips of 4 milkshakes at a time though, or maybe even two trips of 6. To carry all 12 at once, especially after failing before, is a definate no-no.

It's just ridiculously funny. Seriously. The waitress is probably too clumsy. And I can imagine the Libera boys waiting for their milkshakes, only to see the milkshakes being dropped and wasted. Gosh.

yes, but while they're on tour, they're liable to have a day off every now and then.
