So around 12:30am today I decided I really wanted to get a vanilla shake, bring it back, and watch something on my computer (Gasaraki but this detail doesn't matter).

I am not familiar with which fast food places near me are open till what time etc... so I decide to just go to the nearest major road and hit each fast food place until I find one that's open.

I stop at Burger King (~2 miles from home). Guy at the drive through: no shakes, we clean the machines now. A 24 hour BK should have them... there's one five minutes down the road from this one... make a right.

So I keep going and it takes more than 5 minutes with lights and whatnot. 4.2 miles. There is a line of like 8 cars (freaking 1am man). I'm chatting on google chat (oh my phone) with a friend explaining how ridiculous of a situation this is I have put myself in. We are also discussing team sc2 strats/etc. Eventually I get to the board to order and they say no shakes. I'm pretty pissed and I drive off. I see a Mcdonald's nearby so I eventually make some crazy uturns to get there. 4.5 miles away now. Wait in line for like 5-6 cars and eventually get my large vanilla milk shake. I drive back, missing just about every light again somehow.

Get back to my place, park the car, start walking to the door. It's been almost an hour since I left I swear. A bunch of crickets or some other crazy looking bugs are all chilling right outside my front door. I try to shoo them away so they won't jump into the apartment when I open the door but they are being stubborn. I sorta eventually work it out so I slip in the door without them following me... but I quickly try to close the door behind me so as to block them... and somehow in the confusion 2/3 of my shake ends up the carpeting.

...

I swear I didn't even know HOW you clean that up.

After about 5 minutes of fury, 5 of cleaning, 5 of venting to my friend who was laughing hysterically via google chat, I started looking up local fast food places online and calling them to find one that was open and had shakes. It turns out (after like 7 phone calls) there was a bk a little less than 2 miles away in a direction that had much fewer lights... so I got my shake and came back and ate it while watching Gasaraki.

I was SO mad though LOL

It seems so insignificant to drop your shake and all... but when you invested an hour of time while it's getting late and you have to get back on a work schedule soon... and you really had the whole mood going for eating/watching stuff at a certain time... it just SUCKS to look down and see your shake seeping into your carpeting.

Moral of the story: the crickets must die.
I drive back

Nono, this is what you get for going to a fast food restaurant for a milkshake. >:[

Put your cravings on hold for a few hours and chalk up the extra green for a shake at a place where you see them put the ice cream in, and not just have mysterious white goop fall out of a big machine.

If you have a Coldstone Creamery near you, they make a good milkshake. You'll forget all about those crickets! :D

I'll be impressed if they are open on Labor day.

This is kind of like what happened to me.

I really wanted a chocolate milk, so i walk to the campus store (which closes in ten minutes from the time that I started walking) and when I got there 3 minutes later they had closed early.

I can only imagine that it was as frustrating for me as your milkshake search was.

edit: no, i don't have any chocolate milk. ;;

Get some milk and some ice cream.

Put them in a blender.

Milkshake.
My strategy is to fork people.

best fastfood chain milkshake i've ever had was from burgerville, but i think they only exist in the pacific northwest (WA/OR)

they have really good flavors:
chocolate
vanilla
strawberry
cherry chocolate
chocolate hazelnut
chocolate monkey (banana)
mocha
pumpkin
blackberry
boysenberry
black forest (chocolate, cherry, coffee)

all of their food is really good actually... yum

I can't believe you actually went and got a second one.. Seriously, I would have raged, cleaned the carpet, and went straight to bed. Would be way too much frustration losing a vanilla shake at 1am..
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Ask if they have vanilla malt, that flavor is the king of all flavors, i ask any place i go to if they have vanilla malt and if they dont i just go without a milkshake, nothing can make up the malty goodness

Reminds me a little bit of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. The other night my mate and I wanted to go to the movies and watch whatever was on at the time but when we got there (45 min walk) there were no movies on and there wasnt enough time to catch a later movie. Should have checked the movie times before we left -.-
We ended up going to Mcdonald's instead and got some vanilla shakes. An unsuccessful night turned into a rather successful night.
