GRASSHOPPER

I’m going to tell a funny story happened to me about more than half a year ago. My friends in China think that my oral English would be great after learning here in the UM for almost a whole year, which is obviously not the truth. When I was in China, I share the same idea as my friends and now not only my Chinese is worse, but also English (not relevant stuff),

Well, anyway, back to my story.

There is a signature drink in Bert’s Café of Shapiro Library, or UGLI called grasshopper, which is one of my favorites.

Hey!!!!!!!! NOT THAT GRASSHOPPER…like the one in the picture.

This grasshopper is a sweet, mint-flavored, after-dinner drink. 

Here is a dialogue between the sever of Bert’s café and me on that day.

"A blueberry muffin and a small grasshopper, please." said me.

"Here you are."

The guy gave me one muffin and …. a cup of transparent unknown liquid with ice instead of a cup of normal grasshopper, which is obviously cheaper than normal grasshopper.

I was really surprised and took a drag at it. It tasted like…water.

WTF…………

Finally, I realized what happened was:

grasshopper & glass of water

I was really shocked at that time…It is a really interesting experience for me although makes like me an idiot.

话说自从来了米国，汉语日渐退步，英语也无进步，倒是蛤蟆语日益熟练了，再修炼两年，就可以张口就呱呱叫了……好几个朋友都说我讲话越来越有喜感，很少听正常人像我这么讲话的……我想说...试着和K多交流一下就知道我说话极其正常了……TRUST ME！！

来来，正题...今天又有football了，外边吵得我心神不安，网速又不给力到这种境界...于是乎，发个蛋疼的日志怀念一下几天前的杯具.....

ugli的bert's cafe 的grasshopper是我的必点饮品之一，原因第一个就是因为它本是“蝗虫”的意思，想我当年生物竞赛剥离的蝗虫口器（上唇、下唇、大颚、小颚&舌~~^_^）我就快感自脚后跟油然而生，灌满口腔= =....第二个就是它的味道就像是急支糖浆兑了cappuccino，特别有爱，灰常喜欢

"A blueberry muffin and a small grasshopper plz." 极其正常的一天开始了，就像以前一样我又要了这两样，然后....我看了眼卡机上显示的价格愣了一下，便宜成这个样子了？！$3都不到？我人品爆发成这个样子？！...我的蛋说，多少年修炼的RP最终换来这卡机上梦游一般的价格...就在这个时候……

柜台小哥们儿递给我一个muffin和一杯漂浮着两块冰屑的透明液体

我想，哇塞，grasshopper居然出这种前无急支糖浆，后无念慈庵的新品了？！雅蠛蝶，这也太传奇了吧，就好像你点了剁椒鱼头，服务员上的盘子里的东西却有一对毛乎乎的翅膀的感觉一笔啥的那个一样.....

拿到手里我端详了一下,这个透明度，这个粘滞度，这个质量...WTF？！……这是一杯吃果果的冷水……一杯冷水……水……

grasshopper……glass of water?!

当时只有一个念头...天空一声巨响，老子闪亮登场..一个天降响雷劈得我外焦里嫩，脸上泛着牛逼闪闪的反光………

我了个去去去去去去去……怕全天下把grasshopper要成glass of water的独我一个了吧......

杯具啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……握着手中的杯具，我蛋定的冲柜台哥们儿微微一笑，have a good day......
