Crayons At Restaurants

[Sojourner]

Good point. I'm not into being stalked. Wooed, yes. Stalked, no.

I carry crayons in my backpack, and people laugh at me. Until we get to a really long, boring lecture class; then they're jealous that they didn't think of it!

That is funny. I like to colour, and when my little brothers are given colouring pages and crayons at restaurants, I colour right along with them. Yeah, it looks really childish, but who cares?

It's very relaxing! I know I'll be coloring next week! (it's finals week, then)

I got Crayons when I ate at Cheeseburger and Paradise and I colored in the coolest parret. I called him Antonio. So for now on at every chance I can I will get crayons.

I work at a restaurant so I have to give out crayons anyway. which reminds me, does anyone know where I can get a crayon dispenser?

I take crayons with me when I take the kids to the doctor... nothing like sitting in that little office with nothing to do. Instead, we draw on the exam table paper....

that is a good idea ... I always end up bringing one of the trashy magazines from the waiting room into the exam room. Crayons are much better.

My Dr. is Catholic, so last time I was there, I read a magazine article in defense of Marriage while I waited! (You can also tell he's a daddy. When he was explaining what he was going to do when he gave me a shot, he said he'd added some, "Numb-y stuff" to it.)

Crayons are great and all, but secretly......don't you wish they were the big fat tipped colored markers and a really cool coloring book,in which you were the first one to color in it??????? Oh YAAAAAAAAH! How did I get here? JC

[MissScripture]

Nope. Crayons are the best. Markers cannot out do a nice, new box of crayola color crayons! Ahhh...the smell of a new box of crayons, with nice, sharp points! I can't wait to have kids so I can color with them!

I loved the sharpeners. Those were awesome ...

Except for when the shavings fell out and got stuck on everything!

[quote name='ReinnieR' post='1246985' date='Apr 17 2007, 08:07 AM']I ask for crayons.

I write my name, my home number, cell number, address, e-mail address, myspace url and website.

I got a response from the waitress on myspace hehe.[/quote]

I would hesitate to leave personal information of that sort lying around.

I ask for them, butg honestly, its for the kids.
Really...

[Old_Joe]

One of my many pet peeves about working in a restaurant is that so many kids break the crayons we give to them. Once they're broken we have to throw them out. I suppose we could get one of those things that melts the crayon pieces into a new crayon.

[MissScripture]

One of my pet peeves about restaurant crayons is how bad quality some of them are! You might as well use a candle!

[quote name='ReinnieR' post='1247312' date='Apr 17 2007, 05:15 PM']i wrote down all my info because i knew she wasn't gonna stalk me.[/quote]

[MissScripture]

I'm not sure it was her that he was concerned about. What if someone else got it first?

[ReinnieR]

when we get up they clean up the table. they're not gonna sit somebody with all that graffiti on that table.

besides i'm moving to Jersey. so i wouldn't be living in the same address for very long. and if my e-mail is out there, i dont' really care. if a stalker finds my phone number i can always hang up.

[MissScripture]

You wrote it ON the table?!? Geesh! I'd be cautious about that! Having to scrub things off tables could turn anyone into a stalker...and not in a good way.
