It is hard to meet new people when you live inside yourself.

Eight

Remus had no idea where the weed had come from. Josh had showed up at his doorstep with a huge grin on his face. next thing Remus knew, they were on the roof smoking the dopest dope he had ever smoked. And there had been some potent marijuana in vietnam.

"Dude, I'm hungry as fuck!"
"I could eat a cow."
"don't be ridiculous, there aren't any cows in this city!"
Josh laughed, and Remus grinned. they were walking down a street. headed somewhere. it was looking more and more like that somewhere was gonna turn out to be a restaurant establishment.
It was. they had no idea what restaurant they were in, but the waiter had a funny voice and the menu had pictures.

"What can i get you fellers to drink?"
"can i just get, like, a drink?"
"..water.." rasped Remus.

the waiter chuckled and walked off. Remus and Josh looked at each other and giggled.

The ordering of the food didn't go much smoother, but they managed to place their orders. When the waiter brought out the food, it was a magical moment. Trumpets announced the arrival of the cavalry; the war raging in Remus's stomach could finally end. Joshua wept.
"here ya'll go. hold up a second and i'll bring ya'll some syrup."

by the time the waiter brought out the syrup, the waffles were already half gone. the arrival of the syrup induced more tears from josh, but Remus didn't even notice. The buttery waffle had his full attention.
"Oh shit that was so good."
"i know man, you should have put some syrup on it, it made it like ten times better."
"i don't think i could have handled it if it was any better man."

then the waiter arrived with the rest of the all star specials.
"oh shit i forgot about all this other shit!"
The pair dug into the eggs scrambled with cheese and hashbrowns scattered and smothered with renewed vigor. the only sound at the table for the next 5 minutes was the clinking of silverware and the groans and grunts from the men.

The bacon was next. it never stood a chance.

"dude."
"yeah man?"
"i'm so glad i ate that shit instead of a fucking cow."
"i know man."
