When it becomes popular usuage, does it stop becoming a mistake? This placeholder for the old Marshall Field website, for example, refers to it as Marshall Fields.

Everything that FDS has done with Field's is a travesty. Citing their use of the Marshall Field name is like citing Soviet history books.

That said, "Field's" is correct, "Marshall Field's" less so.

You'd have to ask Keith Richards.

Good question. I'll ask him and post his response. I suspect it will be something like this:

dude im so fucktup.ya know.. no i dont make the pizas I deliver thim but I toteled my car so now I just do opium alot. okay talk to you later. Send porn.

mcuh love
amdrew

So the key to getting porn is "drunk texting" and not "drunk dialing"?

I will pass that along.

There's a diner not far from my house called the Collins Diner. However, the sign says "Collin's Diner". I realize that perhaps there is a guy called Collin and it's his diner, but I doubt it.

I say "AAAAAARRGH" every time I pass. My kids anticipate it right after we cross the railroad tracks (to the wrong side of the tracks, of course).

I know that diner. It was indeed founded by a Collin family member. Check it out the next time you are in there.

Order from the Lebanese stuff on the menu. They have a good green bean dish. The Fried Chicken is also good.

I think of [The] Talbots as a place to buy mannish suits with those little ties that businesswomen of the 80s would wear. Perfectly awful.

Your description is spot-on.

(What is with the love-fest between you and me today? Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but we seem to be of the same mind today.)

Oh, God... You mean like those clothes that awful comedian/accused child molester, Paula Poundstone wears? Gisele would look like shit in that stuff.

I don't know... I will say this - It's pleasant being on this level, whatever it is.

OK, the moment has finally arrived. I have to get up and actually fix dinner.

WTF?!? The entire staff is out this week, including the cook, whose brother died suddenly, and I have to make dinner myself! The leftovers ran out last night. Thankfully, this is a short week.

You know what else? When I leave the bathroom a mess, you know who has to clean it up?! ME!!! What the hell is up with that?

Off I go to (gasp) make dinner from scratch.

If you're referring to Keef's falling out with his father years ago, during which he used the name Keith Richard, I say nice fucking reference.

OMG, I got dragged into that place by someone who had read the propaganda that the Gap was entering into the market of "high-end clothing." What a bunch of crap. They don't even try to disguise it as anything other than crap Gap clothing. They don't even change the color of the label like "Gap Black label" or anything.
What a waste.

I can only imagine the focus group discussions that went into that gem.

2. The fact that I once knew enough about the FRE to pass multiple bars, makes me want to kill myself. More than I already do.

I really ought to order. I put on an apron, and my son looked at me nervously and asked, "Do you know how to make things?"

Indian it is!

I pm'd directions. They do take out - get some Lebanese to go tonight, everyone will be happy. Or a big order of Fried Chicken.

Yes. But Western at Ashland? That must be a fucking super-Jewel.

My bad. I was thinking Western and Addison. Boy, do I feel like a dope.
