(

   Hobby Lobby is a magical land. This actually has nothing to do with this post, but I couldn't let the post go by without bringing that up at least once.

   Went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries yesterday. Anyway. It was everything I'd ever heard of it: endless complimentary peanuts, and bottom buns that fall apart as you try to eat. Are basically the only two things I've ever heard about the place.

   ...

   The reason the bottom buns fall apart is a topic of serious debate in certain circles. You know... probably. Are you ordering too many toppings? Does it have to do with the tinfoil they wrap the burgers in? Is the bread just shoddily made? Or is it because the burgers are just that juicy; and if so, is "juicy" just a euphemism for "incredibly greasy?"

   Here is not the forum to moot such a topic of so great a portent. All of this is actually tangential to my topic as well. Though it does bring me to it.

   What nobody ever told me about Five Guys, is their great taste in background music over the speakers. (C'mon, I mean, as we arrived, they were playing early '80s U2!) The thing is, though...

   At one point, "Layla" by Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes started playing. Started playing, and... I don't know. There was the sing-y part,  which ended and went into the piano part, but I'm not sure if that part ever ended. It's like, the outro bit never happened. It must have moved on to other songs, but, that's not how it seemed. It seemed like all that followed, and continues to follow, is still an extension of that song. Exactly like a giant, open parenthesis, that has yet to resolve...
