Recently, Golak and I went to Golden Corral. It was the last weekend before Easter, so the final possibility for us to take advantage of the Seafood Lovers' portion at the Golden Corral buffet. If you're a Seafood Lover like myself, then I would suggest you not go to the Golden Corral. Then again, if you're a person with self-respect, I would suggest you not go to the Golden Corral. Regardless, their Seafood Lover area was unimpressive. The tilapia was covered in a displeasing brown sauce of some kind. They had some type of puff pastry that did not seem to even have any seafood in it. I hurried away to the regular fried shrimp and just enjoyed what I could.
When we arrived at the Golden Corral, we were greeted by an attractive cashier. Then, I noticed she had a lazy eye. Then I realized she didn't have a lazy eye at all, and I was just seeing things at the wrong angle. But then that begged the question, can a woman still be attractive with a lazy eye? I say yes. If Lauren Hutton could be a top model with a gap in her teeth, why can't someone else model with a lazy eye? Why not in a Golden Corral commercial? I can now chalk up Lazy Eye Liker along with Seafood Lover in my book.
As I looked over at that packed restaurant, I realized that the Golden Corral is just a building that is America. There is something particularly hilarious about two idiot comedians sitting across from each other talking about whether a lazy eye is attractive or not while at another table is a hillbilly family sitting across the table from an African immigrant family. You could see them judging one another, yet it didn't matter. An old man walked by nearly running into the immigrant couple's young boy. He smiled at him and jostled his hair. It nearly put a tear to my eye or that may have been the side effects on the brown sauce on the tilapia.
There were people of all races, ages, and classes (well, not the upper class – thank God – we don't need those arrogant pricks in our Golden Corral) sharing meals and conversations. Children hounded the claw crane machine hoping to get a stuffed animal from the early 2000s after stuffing themselves with macaroni and cheese. The staff of the Golden Corral even fit that – everything from a classy looking Indian man (which made me think, “What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be a Physics professor?”) to a possibly unbalanced white woman (which made me think, “What are you doing here? The cats need to be fed!”). It gave me a special feeling to be an American surrounded by so many different people in a place with so much different food that we could all just gorge ourselves on for the afternoon.
I'm Sumukh Torgalkar. I'm a Seafood Lover. I'm a Lazy Eye Liker. I'm an American.
