waiting the tables

When a story takes a character who once had a lot to do and gives them some throwaway task to keep them busy. The term comes from the movie Ratatouille, when Linguini, who was once the restaurant’s top chef, is discovered to be faking it and Remi, the rat, takes over the kitchen, resorting Linguini to waiting the tables.

“Did you watch the new Star Wars movie? Finn was waiting the tables. He had nothing to do.”

The OG Table

A festering amalgamation of toxicity, spilt milk, and good memories. Many chicken strips wasted, ice packs yeeted, lunches ruined, insults thrown, Foxes slain. Many comers-and-goers such as Rotisserie Chihuahua, Joe Mama and the Caramelizer. The OG five: wpkoski, PortedData, savitor, FoxSlayer and the Turtle Lips. Then there’s Sheriff McClain! Colonel Sanders and his weed eyes, Kermit the Frog and the Syrup stick, the whore para and her ass-phone, Brad and his religious teachings, now it’s Mr. Manney (watch out, Fox). Food fights and verbal wars were very common, almost daily at this table but goddamn, it is nostalgic asf.

Me: Bro where should we sit at lunch?
Fox: Dude let’s sit at the OG Table!

table bling

When your table is so crowded with vertical menus, little easels, spiral bound displays, plastic-encased specials, elaborate comdiments containers, napkin dispensers, floral displays, cardboard food advertisements, and crayons that you have barely any room on the tabletop before the food is even served - that's when you're suffering from table bling.

You go into a restaurant. Not the really nice kind, maybe, but not the kind with the arches on the roof. Your average chain restaurant. And you're sitting there with your friends. There are a lot of you around the table, and even before the wait staff brings you anything, you're already crowded. Why? Because there are all these *things* on the table. Vertical menu things and easel-based drink things and spiral bound dessert things and plastic encased specials things and an elaborate container with condiments in it plus some kind of fake floral thing and another brightly colored cardboard thing sticking out of a vase or carafe or whatever the heck it is and it's all garnished with a side of crayons (you're all adults out on business lunch and there are no kids whatsoever in the place). Table bling is gaudy, not worth the expense, and obnoxious... kind of like regular bling.

Table Whine

Incessant unnecessary complaints offered by your companions whilst you are dining out. Table whines usually occur more frequently after your friends and colleagues have partaken in table wine.

YOU: "I'm hungry, where is the food? What's up with this place???"
ME: "I'm sure we can ask for more bread to go with your table whine."
YOU: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little drunk off of the table wine."
