Thanks, Scott. Hindsight is 20/20. I don't have any problem with cajones (my big mouth often gets me into trouble), but I was dumbstruck and so amazed, that I was speechless.

I did go over to my table of absolutely awesome 30 somethings a table away and let them "drag the truth" out of me. When they all turned in their chairs to stare, OJ Jr. and his companions departed.

Ah, the power of passive aggression. My grandmother would be proud. He got the message, loud and clear.

Simply unbelievable that anyone would say such a thing, even in jest. And the table was not that kind of "loose, we're here to have fun" environment, where I would laugh it off as a joke.

[Meditrina]

Uh, SW, belching is fine, but asking me to pull your finger, then holding my head under the covers is a no no.

[CJrun]

Again, i would say easy. There is nothing good about Oranthiel, or his son. They are complete jerks. That person will not often be your customer.

Over the years, I have had to have murderers as my customers. The decision comes down to whether you had a net positive day. I already know I have to represent bad guys. The only question is whether I got more good guys in, during a given day.

When I step back, I snicker because I know I mostly did the right thing. You folks helped me find that medium point. I have no medium point of my own.

Everything will be fine if you make the decision you are comfortable with.

My ex's dad practically has the big 'O' when he eats. It's the highlight of his day. Humming, murmuring, buzzing, cooing...as he constantly moves the food around his plate and to his fat face. Absolutely hideous. Severe eating disorder. *shudder*
Food is to be savored and celebrated, not sucked down a vacuum tube.

[insomniac]

sw - in some cultures, belching during sex is considered complimentary. dirty, dirty cultures...

[The blog reader formerly known as Matt]

Exactly. I've had several parodies written but couldn't get up before the thread died. Its almost worse than not even being able to read it. I'm trying to figure out a relay to let me post.

I'm glad you're happy Med. I hope you get to graze while you work. It'd just be cruel to make you serve food that good that you haven't tasted.

Dining in Vernon is improving. We now have a second chinese buffet.

[Meditrina]

Annie, PLEASE do not tell your former FIL about my restaurant.

There's this guy who owned a rest. in KC, closely resembles Jabba the Hut, and comes in to MS. His companions and I were talking about a jewelry co. yesterday, and I told him how much my GF earns on overrides from the 1500 women in her downline (MLM). He asked for her name and number. No kidding.

This woman is beautiful, smart, attractive, and Married. WTFBBQ?

[Meditrina]

Matt, not to torture you, but they feed us "family meal" before every shift. I don't have benefits, but a James Beard chef cooks for me daily. I'm worried that I will never fit into my skinny jeans again. 'nuff said.

[SW]

Don't worry, Med. Even I have my limits.

Annie, I didn't know your ex was Japanese. Favorite omitted line: "Address the noodles."

[Meditrina]

Matt, we share the soup of the day and all specials prior to opening. Hence the ravioli rave. I have NEVER had anything like that, in my life. OMG... makes the line chefs seem attractive.

Not to mention the pastry chef, who has turned his two former wives into "large" women. Or XXL.

Over the Hedge: "We eat to live. Humans live to eat." Amen, bro.

[The blog reader formerly known as Matt]

Yea, I worked for a Japanese chef for a few years that trained in Japan and Switzerland. Of course, that actually helped me lose weight. But the food was unbeleivable. Fortunately, I'm a damn good cook myself, and have coworkers and bosses lobbying for dinner invites.

Even if I'm not a James Beard chef.

I REALLY miss my Charleston restaurants though.

[Meditrina]

SW!!!! Tampopo is an awesome movie. Those Japanese and their adulation of food, noodles, etc. They are seriously OCD.

Have you seen the entire movie? Add it to your Queue if you haven't..... I'm not a fan of asian movies, but it is one that is worth the effort.

[The blog reader formerly known as Matt]

Dammit. Now I want me some zaru soba.

[SW]

Yes, med, I know thew entire movie, o kindred spirit, but it's been a few. Decades. I see you tube has removed some of the "steamier" segments. My fave (non-steamy) is the one where the young nerdy businessman impresses all his stodgy old superiors by showing his food expertise at a fine restaurant. Remember that one? Hilarious.

"Udon Own Me" -- Resrey Gore

Judi's favorite song

[Meditrina]

Yeah, that was a great scene. I had no idea that you are a foodie. I wish Hollywood would steal the idea..... BBQ would be the American equivalent, I believe. Could be absolutely hilarious with the right writer and cast.

I have to sign off.... thanks for the "shoulders to whine on". I have to be at the salon for a cut and color at the crack a$$ of dawn, 9:30. A Votre Sante.

[SW]

"sw - in some cultures, belching during sex is considered complimentary."

Insom, that's disgusting. If a girl ever did that to me, why I'd, why I'd...why I'd demand my money back, yeah, that's what I'd do.

[The blog reader formerly known as Matt]

So SW, whiskey and farts around the old campfire?

[SW]

Jack Daniels nipping at your nose...?

[The blog reader formerly known as Matt]

Laphroaig scotch. I guess thats whisky, not whiskey, but at this time of night, its just really good booze.

[CJrun]

Med, you're going to be fine.

I know this because I am so unfunny. I take everything so seriously. That's me. I dive into electrified sewage and try to fix sewage or Haz Waste problems.

My hair isn't well combed, but I am a bit of a radical. I'm pretty sure there is nobody else in the country that does what I do. If they exiat, I try to hire them.

I hate thia new keyboard. I really hate it!

[Siouxie Seuss]

Mornin' Everyone!!!

For your Saturday morning buffet, I am preparing a batch of my famous green eggs and spam™. As a side dish, we'll be serving Med's leftover stuffed ravioli. Enjoy and don't forget to tip your server!

*starts the industrial strength coffee going*

[Siouxie Seuss]

Oh and Missliang??

houyuping 07年09月01日 to you too!

[ubetcha]

Mornin' Siouxie. I'll supply the croissants.

[WriterDude]

Can I supply the shots of Jim Beam Black for those who have had to suffer another graveyard shift that was supposed to end months ago?

Okay, maybe that's just me...

[WriterDude]

And I'm definitely on board for the ravioli Med described last night.

[Punkin "not getting much sleep" Poo]

Morning!

*wipes sticky fingers she got from making huge amounts of french toast for her hungry boys, helps self to croissant & 55 gallon drum of cuban high-test coffee*

[Guin]

Med, what/where is this restaurant? It is acce$$ible to mere mortals or do you have to be a disgraced public servant to eat there?

[WriterDude]

Sorry to offend (if I have), Siouxie and ubetcha, but breakfast fare does not appeal to many overnighters until early afternoon. Meanwhile, Med's multiple descriptions of that dish had me drooling at about 3:20am MDT.

That's probably karma getting back at me for my barbecue posts... ;-)

[Jeff Meyerson]

Good morning. Siouxie, you're awfully chipper today.

Let's hope Dave got where he was heading safe and sound. If it was up here to join the Mrs. he will find a gorgeous day, around 80 with low humidity and a cool northerly breeze.

Just like Miami, right?

/end weather update

[Punkin Poo]

Hi Jeff! Yes, what a glorious morning in the Northeast, eh??? Hope it warms up just a little so we can be outside without much on. I mean, um, well, awww forget it - I'll never win.

Have a spectacular day!

[Meditrina]

Guin - www.michaelsmithkc.com. Yes, mere mortals and public servants may dine there. Are even welcomed there.....

And BTW, I had no idea who I was waiting on until I saw the names on the credit cards. Every guest is a VIP to me, at least until I am threatened. *EG*

[Eleanor]

*zips in*™

Morning all. I turned off the computer right after I posted last night and didn't see all your helpful comments til just now.

CJ, here's' my question. If you have a landline (corded phone) but in another room you have a cordless extension phone, is that one safe to use?
If this is a "OMFG how can she be so stupid" question, I'm sorry, but I live in su.so.ca. and thunder storms don't happen very often.

*grabs a latte and a croissant and waits for answer*

[ubetcha]

E, just don't get on the phone in a thunderstorm. End of problem.

I'm taking a break from mowing and yes, Punkin, it is gorgeous in New England, and will be all weekend. It doesn't get any better than this, unless somebody sends me a semi-hot man to finish mowing for me, make me lunch, clean my pool, weed my gardens, empty the cat litter, wash the dog and go to the dump. I don't ask for much.

[Annie Where-but-here]

El - yes, that one is safe to use, although you may hear lots of static which may freak you out. But you won't get zapped. The lightning travels the path of least resistance, like a wire or something that conducts electricity really well, such as a 9-iron. I can say this since I grew up in lightning country, upstate NY.
As for the verbose weather commentary from the Northeast bloggers, be prepared for payback this fall and winter, since SoCal will be lovely then. If, of course, we don't first self-incinerate in this 100+ heat.
ubetcha, I hear ya. A commiserating 'WHINE' is on its way to you. I have no solution. Wah. That is all.

[PirateBoy]

I wonder if the Asian spammer is advertising his organ, half off?

[ubetcha]

Annie, I'll take a whine anywhere I can get it.

[Eleanor]

nothing to see here
