OP-ED: MY EASTER WAS FUCKING INSANE

You’re not gonna believe this shit.

First, on Friday afternoon, my parents fucking drove their GMC Acadia from Downers Grove. They even brought my little fucking brother along.

Next, we all ate at Hamburg Inn for dinner. Un-fucking-real. My mom just about shit herself her pie shake was so good.

Then, holy shit—my dad drove us back to Downers Grove. But on the way there, BAM! I remembered that I left some fucking laundry in the dryer at my dorm.

I fucking texted the shit out of my roommate to see if he would get it out of the dryer for me, but his fucking family had already fucking come from Naperville to come get his ass!

Anyway, I played a fucking lot of COD on Saturday, and then on Sunday we had such a fucking Easter. My parents don’t really hide eggs anymore, they just give us baskets full of candy and shit. This year I got a fucking Cookies-’n'-Creme Hershey’s bar. Fucking off the chain.

Up next was church, which was so fucking holy. You have no idea.

Then we loaded up the Acadia again and fucking drove the fucking whole way back to Iowa City. I gave my parents these huge-ass hugs and shit. And when I got back to the laundry room, my shit was still in the god damn dryer!

Easter’s the fucking best.

HAMBURG INN PATRONS PUZZLED BY FREE-SEATING POLICY

LINN STREET—Customers who dine at Iowa City’s infamous Hamburg Inn continue to be thrown into bouts of confusion by the diner’s seating policy.

“Sit wherever you like.”

It’s a radical take on today’s sitting-and-eating practices, especially in the state of Iowa. On a given Wednesday afternoon, between three and ten hungry patrons can be found waiting at the front counter to be directed toward a seat—until a friendly Hamburg Inn employee who may be a either a man or a woman rolls its eyes and brightens their day with the now-famous slogan, “Sit wherever you like,” delivered in the staff’s signature annoyed deadpan.

Hamburg Inn owner Sheri Lawrence, 50, says that the idea came from late last year, when she read Ayn Rand’s thick novel, The Fountainhead.

“I asked myself, how can I live my life more like Howard Roark?” Lawrence told the Iowa Iowan. “How can I shit all over everyone else while making money?”

“Treating our customers like assholes is about the overall restaurant experience, really. We can’t just depend on our mediocre food.”
