@MeCookieMonster Me too, Cookie Monster, me too.

In Georgia I entered a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line of forty cars.

I turned off my engine. I prepared to wait the way my ancestors waited out a siege.

Six minutes later I was holding chicken.

I do not know what happened to the other thirty-nine cars. The line moved like water that had somewhere to be.

A young woman walked between the cars taking orders on a small tablet, on foot, in the sun, smiling like the sun was her idea.

I said thank you.

She said, "My pleasure."

I did not think about it then. I should have.

At the window I thanked the young man for the food.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for the sauce.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for thanking me—

"My pleasure."

I want to be clear about what was happening.

This was a duel.

In Japan I trained in courtesy for forty years. Bowing angles. Seasonal greetings. The correct depth of apology for seventeen distinct situations.

I was a white belt in that drive-thru.

I escalated. I used my most formal English. I thanked him on behalf of my entire family line.

He said, "My pleasure," and gave me extra sauce.

Extra sauce. Unprovoked. A counterattack.

I returned the next day to reclaim my honor.

It was Sunday. The restaurant was closed.

All of them were closed. In the entire country. They close every Sunday, and they have closed every Sunday since the beginning, because the founder made a promise, and the promise did not expire when he did.

I stood in the empty parking lot and understood I had lost twice.

Once to a teenager with sauce.

Once to a man I will never meet, who kept his word so long it became a building.

In my country we say a samurai's word is his life.

I had never seen a restaurant say it back.

I returned Monday. I ordered. And this time I said it first, before she could.

"My pleasure."

She smiled and said, "It sure is."

America, I surrender.

It was my pleasure.

Here's a @FIFAWorldCup opinion. Don't do dumb shit when you're on a Yellow Card, like take a Dive.

@iocmedia @Olympics How much is Russia paying you to lift the ban on them participating in the Olmypic Games?

Its the only reasonable explanation since they are still prosecuting a war of genocide in @Ukraine.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

Fuck VAR.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@SoccerwithDoug Or because this team sucks?

[Cookie Monster @MeCookieMonster]

Friend is someone you share last cookie with. 💙

@TheTraeYoung @WashWizards Best of luck Trae, you'll be missed in Atlanta.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@CBSSports You are un-American for locking the Army/Navy game behind a even higher tier of Paywall then Paramount+.

If any game in the USA should be free, its this one.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@BahlestKimmie @Eyesandvibes Agyemang will be valuable in the actual WC, when we need a hold up/target striker. When we're playing the best teams in the world and will need a release valve who can fight with 2 CBs for the ball.

He's less valuable when we're playing in Concacaf, because we have the ball.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@RWandBlue_CFC @MenInBlazers Its the trip afterwards.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@Eyesandvibes Why do we have no one who can play a through ball to those making a run?

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@cvspharmacy if you didn't monopolize your sevice through the drug benefit programs you sell with the 'promise' of service your entire business would collapse. Zero Stars. Would not do business with if I had ANY choice in the matter.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@cvspharmacy your entire model of providing 'care' is a disaster. Your pharmacies can't stock prescriptions, can't tell patients when drugs will be available, can serve your customers and all around just fail as a service provider in every way. (1/2)

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@USMNT Maybe have some guys play who have some pride in wearing the shirt.

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@barca6time @USMNT Why burn Richards' legs in this game?

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@PepJoe @USMNT Its a friendly, you can sub a lot

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@USMNT What about the other 7?

[Kynwric @JohnVots1]

@TaylorTwellman Its a friendly, I'd replace the entire 11 at Halftime if I were Poch. Just an embarrassing disaster with absolutely no fight.
