Going Down On The Clown With The Remedials

Original Post Date: Monday, December 12, 2005

The Remedials have been known to do a lot of stupid things especially if they have already been drinking. One of a plethora of stupid things Lionel and Gabe of The Remedials do is frequent a fast food joint with a clown mascot. This always occurs after downing a few chemically aged beers at The Ivanhoe when going home after a jam. There hasnt been an incident with Lionel so far but with Wayne its a different story...

After jamming Wayne, Gabe and Shannon are on the Skytrain heading home from Charts. Were gonna have to skip what happened on the train to protect the innocent. We jump off at Stadium Station and Wayne suggests we deal some meal, so were off to the closest fast food joint. While there Shannon gotta use the bathroom so while in line Wayne kindly asks the one of the managers if he could score the key. The manager says he cant since after a certain time its closed to the public. So we get our order (we're not sure exactly what Wayne ordered but it did have pickles) and scope out a seat. A kind girl overheard our dilemma and told us to talk to the other manager who is a lot nicer and let her and all her friends use the bathroom. Not only did she get the guy out from behind the counter when she needed the bathroom but this gave Wayne the opportunity to talk to the him to open the door for Shannon. So now with Shannon relieved and Gabe as well that there hasnt been an incident so far, The Remedials are on cruise-control for a semi-uneventful evening or so Gabe thought but Wayne had other plans...

So how does Wayne show his gratitude to the kind girl who did his girl a solid? He walks over to her and her friends table and goes "Don't be offended by this but..." He then proceeds to blow outta his left nostril half a pickle on to their table. The last thing Gabe can remember before he hit the ground from laughing so hard was the traumatized face of this girl and her friends! This girl totally did the Home Alone thing and had her hands to her face. They all screamed out in unison "That's disgusting!" Needless to say they left shortly after that when her big boyfriend returned to get them. Not content with just one customer he decides to try it out with the two guys sitting across from us. Wayne walks over and asks: "What do you think if I did this?" The guy responds: "That would be disgusting, but kinda funny!" Wrong answer dude, so Wayne lets fly and the guys did find it rather amusing since he did at least warn them. Wayne proud of what hes done goes to Gabe "Well, what did you think of that?" to which he responds, "Ya shoulda asked them if they wanted fries with that!"

Stay tuned for more late breaking news, which well tell ya about later! Gabe's B-Day is this weekend and he and the gang are sure to get into more way more trouble!
