Second to Mufasa was Scar. Scar was always second to Mufasa. He was even second out the womb. Born the smaller of the two, his mother didn’t even realize she was still in labor after Mufasa. Scar came out when she was nursing Mufasa. Blending into the ground, his mother didn’t notice him. Thus he was incidentally abandoned. He had to work just to be noticed. It wasn’t his fault. He was the runt of the two. Once abandoned, Scar called out for his mother, but was only heard by hyenas. One hyena, named Banjo Kazooie, asked Scar if he was food. Scar, frightened, ran away south. This was Scar’s first memory. Scar’s childhood consisted mostly of negativity. He did not learn from his parents simply for he did not know them. His learning came from all that he observed: from natural selection, overproduction, physical and behavioral adaptations, birth and death, but ultimately social darwinism. He based his morals of this. His intelligence was superior to that of his brother whom he had never met at this point. He was what you can call a “phylogenius.” Scar’s diet growing up was completely carnivorous as he thought that plant was disgusting. He learned very early on that he was at the top of the food chain. He ate zebras, hippos, rhinos, heck he even ate a blue whale that washed upon the African shore. Since he was a social darwinist, he never had much regard for the equilibrium in the cycle of life. He took more than his fair share, disrupting the ecosystem wherever he went. It is believed that the Great Sphinx of Giza was a statue of him when he was ruler. It is also believed that it became a desert due to his carelessness in which he abused that once green land. In adulthood, when his parents had past, he found Pride Rock. His brother, Mufasa, was king. He had no memory of him, but mufasa did. Once arrived at Pride Rock, his brother, Mufasa, confronted him saying “Welcome home brother.” Mufasa would then explain to him that he noticed him when he was born, but couldn’t say anything to his parents because he was too young to roar. Mufasa tried to apologize to Scar, but Scar didn’t want any apology. Scar thought that it was inexcusable, and that he should have searched for him. Mufasa’s lack of care in early life to find Scar is why Scar resented him. Scar would loathe Mufasa. Jealous of his brother’s power, he could not be pleased with what he had. He knew that if it wasn’t for being second out of the womb, he would be king. He could have had the childhood and the care his brother had. Scar, with no love for his king, he had no love for anyone who did. His only friends were the hyenas. Besides vultures, the hyenas were the only ones condemned from Pride Rock. Scar didn’t understand why hyenas were not allowed to live with the other animals. He would when we met with Banjo. He had remembered him. It was his first memory. He remembered the fear that he felt when he was approached by Banjo. It was then he thought of how he could take over Pride Rock and achieve revenge over his brother. He formed a deep relation with the hyenas. He would teach them of his findings in social darwinism and natural selection. He would explain to them his theory of evolution, and they all enjoyed his lessons. It was then Scar devised his plan to convert Pride Rock to atheism. It was then his life goal had become to rule Pride Rock like he once did Giza. Two weeks later Mufasa bared his son Simba. After Mufasa’s death, and all had believed Simba’s death, Scar was king of Pride Rock. Being king, Scar married Mufasa’s wife. It was a dysfunctional marriage. Scar would sleep on the rock couch every night, not the grass one, which is where his wife slept. Scar would try to lecture her on his theory of evolution and phylogeny, but she would ignore. After a few weeks, Scar would divorce and marry another lion. The same events would occur over and over with each new wife he had. Being king was not what he had hoped. It was nothing like it...
Read moreMy crazy pregnancy craving the third time around has been a large Andy’s Coke Float. It’s all I want, all I can stomach, all I dream of, you get the picture. The point is, at this point I am pretty familiar with Andy’s. And I’ve been almost every location in the area, I happened to be driving by so tried this location for the first time. I paid for a large Coke float, which costs $7 and some change. I received a small/regular float. Is this the end of the world? Absolutely not. Honestly not even a big deal. I pulled my hand back, and told the girl at the window, a teen who was more interested in conversation with her coworkers, “oh, I had ordered a large.” She goes, “this is a large.” Ok… maybe she doesn’t want to make another, or people try to steal floats from this location. So I go “that’s a lot smaller than all the other locations. And here’s what irked me, she flashed me a condescending grin, and sarcastically goes “oh really, I didn’t know that.” Hands me the small float, and closes the window.
I pulled forward a bit, and thought “it’s not a big deal” but figured I would check my receipt, maybe she only charged me for a small? Guess who didn’t get a receipt? I ordered two small concretes and a large float, total $19, so yes, I was charged for large.
Nobody wants to be that person, but if you charged me for a large, and the store is open, and there’s staff free enough to chat it up, I find it upsetting to a- not receive the product I paid for, and b- have a teenager lie to my face about what a large float is.
I’m hormonal, fat, and tired. Was a large Coke float too much of a demand for $7 from a frozen custard shop that sells large Coke floats? There’s no excuse for this nonsense lack of...
Read moreI walked up to the service window last night at about 10pm. A girl opened the window and just couldn't seem to hear me. I asked about the waffle cone and asked what kinds of ice cream they had (first time there), she informed me I could only get chocolate or vanilla. Uh.. okay... I ordered vanilla and asked what kinds of toppings they had (I wanted mixed fruit). I was told that they will not put toppings on a waffle cone. Whaaa??? She did tell me that they can put them on the side. Okay, sure... I asked for cherries and the key lime syrup. She walked over to her manager asked him something and returned to tell me I could have cherries but not the syrup. Fine... Whatever. By this point I just wanted the transaction to be over. I pay my money in cash. She hands me the cone, then the cherries, I then take the cup of cherries, put them on top of the cone, looked at her and simply asked why that was so hard. She gave me a look, and frankly it was probably the same look that by that point I was giving her. I don't care how fresh the ingredients are, how clean your store is, if you can't get someone to even get the basics of customer service? What's the point? I...
