Last week's 'salt and pepper idiots' can all go home.  This week, we have some good, strong idiots to lead us into a new era of idiocy.

   The Sunshine shines forth as an unexpected yet deserving IotW for this week.  As the weather gets colder, so does she.  Let's review some events of last week.  On Monday, she yelled at me and said that 'The Nick' is a stupid name, accusing me of having delusions of grandeur!  Hah!  Let me assure all of you, the grandeur is not delusion, thank you very much.  Another IotW'ble offense occurred when, after a short conversation she and I had (potentially, others were involved), she came back into kitchen later and accused me of being "so full of shit..."  She never did explain what she was talking about, but I think someone said something provocative to her.

   Now, I can't hold events of a different date against her.  Idiots of the Week are awarded weekly.  However, remember those other incidents and see how they mesh well into this week.

   This week was a mixed bag.  Think back to the unfinished NaN that included a notice about future IotW material.  Well, Sunshine wins it for sure because of this incident.

   It was a busy night.  I was coordinating kitchen excellently.  Will was handling dishes.  Sunshine was helping out drive-thru, as they had the most business whereas front counter was more manageable.  I have no idea what the order was, but Sunshine approached me, motioned to her bag, made eye contact, and said "Burger King".

   I froze up, unsure of what she said, more orders beeping onto the screen as I paused.  Apparently, you had to be there to 'get it', but Sunshine began cracking up, laughing, cackling, giggling... in short, she was as amused with herself as everyone is with The Nick.  This went on for a while.  She just had to tell everyone about this 'funny incident'.  I'll admit, it did get a giggle from The Nick, but she went on and on and on and on...

   Will recommended Sunshine for the IotW and the rest is history.  I agreed with him.  Then she hit me while simulataneously (and rather cutely) saying she didn't deserve it.

   I'm going to have to update the Sunshine page soon.
 

   This week's runner up goes to Colleen.  She did many fun things, from running away from a debate she was sure to lose to speaking about the names she wants to give her children... please, if you ever have children, don't give them those names.  The chess club will beat those little wimps up.  The name makes the man.  "Nicholas" means Victor's Army... or 'victory'.  A strong name.  Quite literally, a name of victory.  A great name for The Nick.  Victory!  My brother's name is Matthew.  "Gift from God".  Holy.  Has a great meaning, very religious.  How's about Raymond?  It means "Wise Protector".  I want a Raymond to teach and protect children.  Quinton means "The Fifth Son", a simple name but cool to say.  Archaic.  Nice and simple.  Why don't we have more good names like these?  Heck, Colleen means "Girl".  How appropriate... simple name for a simple girl.

   I don't know the 'real' meanings of some of the names I heard, but these names have to be the worst I've ever heard.  Forget the school bully; I'll beat these little wimps up.  Please, for the love of your own children, don't give them pansy names!
 

   Any honorable mentions?

   All the typical 'honorable  mentions' go out, mostly to people who visit me at work too much and people who throw stuff at me.  You know who you are.  Of particular note are the punks who giftwrapped Jenn's car in a fine mixture of seran wrap and paper towels.  I can't condone those things, as they are bad and naughty, but I'm particularly impressed that you got all the way around the car without being caught.  I mean, it's really too bad I didn't see you, because I've been looking for an excuse to beat people up, and messing with cars is  a good one.  But beware The Nick!  For he is deadly and stuff!

   Good job to the blue shirts this week who committed child labor violations.  Those are always fun.  And Charlie got creative and made me clean something disgusting, then tried to make me clean with something that could have been dangerous (I think... I'm suspicious, but I can't be sure.  He's tricky, I'll admit that much, but not tricky enough!).  Nice guy.

   Good job to people who come in late because of 'tests', "Boggle Head" players, and finally, to The Nick for burning himself on the grease.  Be careful with fryers.
