Vulgar Displays Of Wealth

LMD: You want to have dinner or not?

LMD: You want to have dinner or not?
4pm
LMD: I don’t care. Tonight I will kidnap you for dinner.
And so it came to pass that LMD kidnapped me at 8.30pm for dinner to a very very nice place in a private club because her credit cards were not sufficiently used enough to justify her affluent position in society.
I protested because I had to study for an exam. But did she care? No way. The rich do not care about the anxieties of the hoi polloi such as myself. And while we were driving there, Miyagi calls and asks if he could come along. Why not? He’s always good for shits and giggles.
By now you may have guessed. I am in a foul mood. People in foul moods order mushrooms for appetizers and beefs tenderloins for mains. This is in contrast to the lamb, goose liver, tiramisu and wine order by people in much better moods. Miyagi is also in a bad mood. Plus he is tired. He orders food that directly contribute to shortening his life span.
After dinner, we adjourn to some bar near the pool. They both drink whiskey. I on the other hand, have an Erdinger. Nothing like a beer to wash down the taste of disappointment, betrayal and hatred.
The club is rather nice. Maybe I will join it later this year. For now, I’m just glad that LMD and Miyagi are my friends. Friends I can sit down and have a nice dinner & drinks with. Next week is LMD’s birthday. It will be a birthday to settle all birthdays.
Tonight’s food and booze was brought to you by the letters L, M and D.
