Most disgusting food ever served anywhere (including monkey brains). Its like a small black football filled with seeds and gelatin. And when you cut the fucker open it looks like you’ve unearthed a maggot farm. Good for throwing and nothing else.

One friend of mine kept a hammer in the freezer. He claimed that placing the cold hammer beneath his balls as he masturbated was a great feeling. I never understood that one.

I'm with Ollie about you and friends sharing way too much.

Yes -- with a side of gin, followed by a post-prandial menthol cigarette.

2. I think that I'm going to have to retract my declaration of love for Sebby based on some of his food issues. I'm more likely to order gin than any other alcohol, and I love eggplant, especially in thai curry. I don't have strong feelings about kiwi, but I'll eat it.

I don't smoke.

True. This town dresses in the dark.

Pleated dockers and Lands End button downs. Hot... if you’re looking to score at a postal worker’s convention.

What the....

RT, I thought you said the webcam wasn't going live until next month?

Apropos of this, the Not Bobette gave me the second season of the Dave Chappelle show on DVD for Father's Day. We watched an episode last night where he had a game show segment in which he asked real people (the ones I remember were a white female NYC cop, a white male African American history professor, a young male black barber, a young male korean store owner) questions about black culture.

"Why do black people smoke menthol cigarettes?" was one of them, with "nobody knows" given as the correct answer. The whole segment was hysterical.

This article has been forwarded to me by at least six people today.

I pass it on to you.

Like, right here. Here is a miniphenomenon, happening right before our eyes. It is this: Amazon.com is selling sex toys. A lot of sex toys. More than you knew they would ever dare sell and more than you even knew were being manufactured in the world today and a more advanced and varied selection than you probably imagined they could ever get away with.

And what's more, Amazon has added this massive array of delicious adult goods quietly, effortlessly, with zero fanfare and zero marketing and zero apparent intolerant outcry (so far as I know) from the right-wing Christian sex tormenters, and with absolutely no children anywhere in the nation spontaneously combusting or being struck by lightning and/or converting to wanton paganism (yet) by viewing any of these items (which they easily can) -- which, as we all know, is just fabulously encouraging and good.

Have you seen? Did you know? Let us look closer. Because it is not a small selection. This is no trifling thing. Amazon's sex-toy department, it is simply a huge portion of the site's Health and Personal Care area. The "Sex and Sensuality" section of the site contains a staggering 37,000 items with the Sexual Enhancers (that's the toys, baby) subsection alone offering up a whopping 4,863 items -- enough to satisfy an entire repressed evangelical congregation and terrify Alabama and make Lynne Cheney swoon and still have plenty left over for a long weekend with the entire cast of Hot Teen Slut Nurses IV.

I don’t have a problem with those who like the gin and the eggplant. I just can’t handle them myself. But I’m insanely high maintenance and picky about what I eat and drink. I won’t have any vodka lower than Stoli and will not eat anything sauteed in butter (even though I’ll dip lobster and clams in butter and enjoy botter on rolls, etc...). Luckily for waitresses, I hate people who send food back, so if I get buttered fish/noodles, I will suck it up and eat the dish.

Is there anything worse than someone sending food back for a minor problem with the dish?

Ashey Larry should get his own show.

Someone who stiffs the server on the tip because of one.

I am actually unable to smoke anymore. I quit five years ago but try an occasional smoke about once a year. I can never get through half of it. It's disgusting, which is strange b/c I really used to enjoy it.

Luckily, second-hand smoke doesn't bother me at all, which is another great reason for me to move to europe...

Depends on the restaurant. If you're in a diner with a waitress who's at the end of a 14 hour double shift, sending back your eggs even if they're blackened is a dick move.

OTOH, if you're at the Ritz Carlton and you order the $35 seared tuna rare and it comes to you completely grey, that sucker is going back no matter how snotty the waiter is.

Of course, perhaps neither of those are minor problems.

If it makes you feel better, usually that action results in a compensating reaction by the kitchen. If I send something back, I typically don't want anything in return. But I only send stuff back in extreme circumstances (hair (not mine) in food, etc.), not because I don't like how something is prepared.

Exactly. See my post about adding things to the guac.
