I blame the phrase "choking the chicken" and a faulty Rumanian/English phrasebook.

My hovercraft is full of eels. Won't you come back to my place, bouncy-bouncy.

That will be six shillings, please.

And Ty, please no more Monty Python so late in the day. Obviously, the references break the board.

Sorry, that was, in part, my bad. But Greedy started it so bitch at him.
In the meantime, look here for the world's best coffee. OK, so it's monkey crap, but I'm sure some of you will prefer it to Pete's or Starbucks. And only $500 a cup!!

PHILADELPHIA - The traditional Philly cheesesteak has gone precipitously upscale at one new restaurant, where the chopped steak and melted cheese standard includes goose liver and truffles — and costs $100.

“I believe you will have the rich guy in there who will say, ’Cheesesteaks for the table. And buy one for the guy over there,”’ said Starr, an acclaimed restaurateur who has opened 13 eateries here since 1995. (personally - I don't think so)

Served with a small bottle of champagne, Barclay Prime’s cheesesteak is made of sliced Kobe beef, melted Taleggio cheese, shaved truffles, sauteed foie gras, caramelized onions and heirloom shaved tomatoes on a homemade brioche roll brushed with truffle butter and squirted with homemade mustard.

“You shouldn’t mess with the Philadelphia cheesesteak,” groused Samuel Lehrer, who was eating takeout Chinese several blocks from Barclay Prime. “Let it alone.”


Will not fly in California where fois gras will be illegal in 2006.

John Woo's next flick? He-Man. Yes, you read that correctly.

I'm hoping they cast Tom Selleck as Man-at-Arms and Dick Cheney as Skeletor. Montecore can play Battle-Cat. I struggle to think of a modern leading man being able to carry off a blond page boy and a Cote d'Azur chemise --- it's the sort of thing that would have had Billy Wilder snapping and saying "Tony Curtis! No, Tony Randall!"

People looking forward to "Team America" will be disappointed by this, at least: it's facing the box office kiss of death NC-17 rating because of a scene showing simulated oral sex between marionettes. Matt and Trey have been jumping through the MPAA's hoops to get an R, damn them. I mean, please. It's not like we haven't all seen Vincent Gallo and Chloe Sevigne do it thousands of times on bootlegged copies of "The Brown Bunny."

In other bad news for puppets, the guy who animated a bunch of "Sesame Street" clips on learning to count just got picked up for soliciting a 13-year-old. At least he likes 'em older than the King of Eight, that sick fuck.

We have a meeting for the offices in our firm coming up. Recently, while attending a meeting I ran into one of my colleagues at a cocktail party. She went in for the hug hello. I was a little taken aback, but it was fine...

Is it fine? Do I make this the standard hello for the women (and the men?) Granted I work with this particular office frequently, and see them at meetings generally 3 - 4 times a year.

It's really starting to bug me and I don't want to have that awkward moment.

That's not a cheesesteak.

A cheesesteak is shaved beef, cheese whiz, onions, peppers, and sometimes mushrooms all sauteed in lard, on an Amoroso's roll.

Anything else is a just a steak sandwich.

Despite the fact that I am nicey-nice, I hate the business hug. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Heck, I'm not even all that big on the social hug. (My friends all know this. My wife's friends figured it out eventually. We go out, and my wife will hug everybody, and I will hug no one. Not to be confused with hugging Know Won, NTTAWWT.) But, then again, I'm an old guy, and am an old school reactionary in many ways, so what do I know?

Anyhoo, I think that you should only hug those people if you would hug them if you saw them outside of the work. Are you so close that, if you no longer worked at the same company, you would want to see them every few months? In other words, are they business acquaintances or friends? If they are friends, and you are someone who hugs your friends, hug away. If they are business acquaintances, extend the old Heisman handshake.

I had a brief trip to Philly (flew in at 10, left at 3) not too long ago, and my client took me to Pat's on the way back to the airport. Or was it Geno's? It was the cleaner one -- according to my client -- that had more neon, and a picture/shrine of the cop killed by Mumia.

Anyhoo, tres tasty. But I went with a provolone wit. And had to trash my tie.

A cheesesteak is ....... cheese whiz,

Your ability to take a point of huge controvery, and make such a positive and absolute statement, would bode well for your abilities on the Politics Board. The only other person I've seen with this much raw ability was Ty.

I like what Starr has done for this city, I really do, but his food is overpriced, oversalted, mostly-paying-for-ambiance fare. This is a wise publicity stunt and he'll no doubt fleece the spending-my-entire-check-on-a-dinner-at-the-Starr-joint-discussed-in-this-week's-Philly-Magazine crowd, which is exceptionally large (in fact, its about 90% of his clientele) penniless with this gimick.

I want to kill myself every time I read about this city. Cheesesteaks, Rocky, losing in the playoffs, people with no lives other than local sports, fuck... the list goes on forever. Its a shame a city can't be taken out behind the woodshed and put down like Old Yeller. Burn it down - start again.

So Howard Stern is jumping to Satellite in 2006.

http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/06/news...ex.htm?cnn=yes

No big surprise that he is going. However, I would note that on his own website (www.howardstern.com) there is a large banner ad for XM Radio. He signed with Sirius.

The hug is between friends, and very close ones at that.

If you think its awkward for you, imagine being a man and having a woman you're not that close to hug you. If she's at all endowed, she's basically forcing you to feel her tits. Granted, you're not groping them with your hands, but you still feel them. I always wonder if the woman giving the hug appreciates that fact, or even notices it. I assume she has to, unless she's got absolutely numb breasts.

Guys, if I'm holding a drink, realize, I don't want to put it down somewhere just to hug you. You may hug me when I'm drinkless, but not otherwise. If I'm holding hors' d'oerves, don't even try to shake my hand.
