Long John Silvers is a great restaurant . . .


about 20 years ago. Now, don't get me wrong, I love LGS, but let's face it, the restaurant is a dilapidated relic from the 80s. My good buddy, Luke Green, and I graced the Capn's dining facility last night and I think it is corporate policy that Long John Silvers cannon change its interior design, booths, wallpaper, etc. . . . ever. I had to laugh while we were there because the music also was about 5 - 10 years old. I believe we heard a mix of P Diddy and Hilary Duff. But, let's give the Capn his due. They still employ a long list of mentally challenged people to work behind the counter AND Long John Silvers still gives out complimentary Pirate hats to any patron who wants one. And that my friend, is worth its weight in booty. Luke and I, of course, wore them all night.

My disproportionate body

I've been told that the majority of men's clothes have been designed to fit my body type: relatively slim, 6 feet tall, etc. But I'm pretty sure this isn't true. You see, I have a soft spot for long-sleeve t-shirts, but I don't get to wear them very often because after the first time I wash the shirt the sleeves become to short for me. This leads me to believe that my arms are disproportionate to my body. I apparently have monkey arms that are about 2-3 inches longer than they should be for someone of my height and build. Now that's just frustrating. It's also one reason that I like Hollister clothes; they generally make their shirts with extra long sleeves that puts the lengths just about right for Chimpanzee Wilson.

I also have a similar problem for my pants. I am abnormally longer in the legs than I am around the waist. So I either have to get pants that are the right leg length and I always have to wear a belt or I get pants that fit my waist properly and I am always flooding it. Life is tough for Jesse Wilson, rest assured of that.
