There's more to yesterday's Big Snub, though. (See "The Big Snub" below.)
As it happens, the Boiler Room lackeys actually did hear something about the exclusive Indian lunch yesterday before it happened. Around noon, before most of the lackeys had left to scrape together a their meager lunch, one of the two favored interns quietly told the other chosen one that they were invited to the high-class affair. The excluded lackeys, overhearing the mention of Indian food, were intrigued...but not invited.
Of course, the two chosen interns did not uninvite the other lackeys. But they quite naturally assumed that the invitation was indeed exclusive to them. For these two interns are in fact the same ones who have been pampered all summer long, as the Boiler Room blog has repeatedly noted.
After six weeks of being favored with exotic lunches and expensive, artisanal chocolate truffles, an exclusive invitation to such an aristocratic banquet seemed all too plausible to the chosen ones.
It's all quite telling.

. . . there is a simple solution to this grave injustice . . . the two lackeys winning the daily, double-elimination, best-of-seven, "rock, paper, scissors" competition . . . will get the opportunity to hop on the BoilerMaster's Chuck Wagon Express. For future reference, it was his majesty, Lord John, who engaged in the social "snubbery" . . . the rest of us simply seem to have been oblivious to the boilerroom's existence. Apparently, there weren't enough blog entries last week to keep us aware . . .
