#83 Mariposa Part III


Revenge

The bear is back for round two. I was worried about bears and serial killers, but Sean reassured me that he could defend me, simply by expressing disdain.

Anyway, this concludes our adventures in Mariposa, which is actually an OK town. If you LOVE dirt. Happy Burger is still the best part, even if it doesn’t live up to Sean’s expectations. It has the biggest menu in the sierras! I think when we went there we got something like… fried chicken, clam chowder in a bread bowl, a patty melt, a steak sandwich, tostadas, and a salad.

Disappointment

For the two weeks previous and the whole trip to Mariposa all I heard about was how amazing Happy Burger was. My expectations for Happy Burger became so great that there is no possible way that it could ever reach them. By the time we got to Mariposa the only way that Happy Burger could reach my expectations was by being one giant building that not only housed Happy Burger but the entire town of Mariposa, including trees, dirt, and wild life. Everyone’s needs were met by the now sentient Happy Burger as it slowly grew and assimilated the surrounding countryside. Another possibility that I hoped for was that Nik was actually just completely insane and would lead us to an abandoned farm house where he killed people and served them as burgers under the illusion that he was an employee of the great Happy Burger conglomerate. The more Nik talked about Happy Burger the more likely the latter seemed to be. I began to wonder if Mariposa even existed, if it was all just some crazed fantasy that Nik created because he was lonely and just wanted someone to talk to.

Luckily neither Nik nor anyone else managed to kill us on our trip and we all made it back safely.

    that bear got everything it deserved…a good shunning. because bears are godless killing machines, and shunning is the only way to stop their murderous rampaging.

    Happy Burger? sorry, dude, it really sucks. should have gone for …. um, come to think of it, the only decent restaurant in Mariposa is Savory’s. How about Bubba BBQ in Merced?
