That was certainly an interesting trip.
Tonight, after the standard Saturday night Justice League, Superfriends, Teen Titans combo, Fergi asked if anyone was up for a trip to Tim's. Being rather hungry, I decide that such a thing would be quite good. Sportsfan also wanted to go but everyone else opted for bed.
So we go downtown around 2:45ish (interesting sidebar: we saw a really drunk girl go up to a police car shouting 'I wanna meet the police!'. They talked to her for a bit and I was half expecting they'd take her in for public intoxication but they didn't.) and our first stop is the Royal Bank as Fergi needs money. All 3 of the machines are 'temporarily out of order' however so we go over to the Bank of Montreal (Sportsfan was getting money out there anyway). Despite the fact that the bank machine had signs advertising it's interact compatibility, it simply would not accept a Royal Bank card (couldn't even get it in the slot) so Fergi's cashless.
We press on to Tim's to find that they've basically got nothing. There are a few tarts and Sportsfan gets one but there's no donuts/cookies/etc. Pronto was still open when we passed it originally so we decide to try there but when we get there they've closed and are cleaning up.
At this point, we were just going to go home but I had a brillant idea. I remembered the Irving/convenience store and speculated that it was likely a 24 hour store. We were hungry and had nothing better to do so we made the rather long walk to the Irving. Upon arriving we found out that its hours are 6 AM-Midnight.
So we head back to the university. When we get in front of it we decide we may as well go to Tim's again as its been almost an hour and a half since last time and the odds are pretty good that they'll have SOMETHING now.
So we trudge to Tim's and upon arriving, we find they do in fact have bagels! So we buy some yummy blueberry bagels and eat them (well, Sportsfan and I did, Fergi didn't want to borrow money so he passed (though I did give him a fourth of mine)).
And that's how a quick trip for donuts turned into a 2 hour saga resulting in bagels.
Defunct Word of the Day: elken
It's a verb meaning "to flatter, propitiate". I'm not sure what 'propitiate' means exactly and I'm too tired to look it up right now.
