Ever since Luke Gatti was arrested for demanding this from his UConn cafeteria after the kitchen was closed and while Luke was drunk, this has been my favorite.
As the video went viral and blogs across country condemned Luke, the whole time I was thinking, man, macaroni and cheese with bacon and jalapeño sounds really good. Why didn't I think of that?
It's a natural.
This is serrano chile because the jalapeños right now are too big and fat. That means their heat-factor is too low to be any use. What would be the point?
There's another side to Luke's story that might be helpful to know. His tuition + costs is $54,000 a year. That's $216,000 for a degree. He's under tremendous academic pressure, and he'll be under tremendous financial pressure for a very long time if he pays this himself. So far as I'm concerned he owns that college cafeteria, the cafeteria is there to service Luke, not to have Luke obey their quaint little guidelines that do not take the reality of young people's lives into account. As students they're slave to demands of Academialand, slave to finance them for decades, slave to their programs while in it, slave to their rules, and now slave to their cafeteria hours. I realize this is reverse thinking but it's also reality valid as the prevailing description of how desirable reality is described and maintaned. The college is there for Luke, not Luke there for the college. The cafeteria is for Luke, not Luke for the cafeteria.
And then sober, Luke apologized.
Such a good boy.
Already punished by being arrested and jailed. Instead of saying f.u. to all of them. True slave to the system. And lastingly so.
