Short version of the story goes like this. Some teachers go to a restaurant and order lunch. One woman notices a hair in her salad. She calls the waitress over.
Woman: Excuse me, but there’s a hair in my salad.
Waitress: [sigh] When can this day be over?!?
Woman: Uh, I’d like to speak with the manager.
Manager: I’m too busy to talk. Here’s the owner.
Owner: You can stick your salad up your ass, because you’re a teacher.
Or something like that. Anyway, the place is called Legends All-American Grill, it’s in Des Moines, and you probably shouldn’t go there if you prefer food service employees to keep their bodies out of your lunch, or to at least not verbally abuse you when they fail to.
Well, not quite. But the Twitter sensation is going to be, according to the Hollywood Reporter (via Sullivan), a TV pilot starring William Shatner:
The casting of Shatner lifts the contingency on CBS’ multicamera family comedy project based on the Twitter account, which has enlisted more than 1.16 million followers since launching in August and has made its creator, Justin Halpern, an Internet star.
Now, I love Shit My Dad Says as much as the next Twitter user. But it has already been a TV show. It was called, Every TV Show Ever Made with a Man Over Sixty. And it’s been a movie. And a comic strip.
Even the Twitter account itself is getting a tad stale, which was inevitable; once you become well known on the Interwebs for saying crass/cynical/funny things, you start trying to think of those things, and then you’re screwed.
