Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Psh. That's not so fancy. Our McDonald's has that.

Does the lobby look like this?

What is even happening?

No. It's diamond encrusted.

referring back, I'm totally with crotchless undies or commando under all those skirts. Air flow is nice. There's still the issue of post-event clean-up, though. I mean, are you just supposed to air dry?

Too bad you can't smoke in a McDonald's

"The dominating motif of the grand lobby is the huge green patterned panel of light hung as it were longitudinally in one great tapis-vert of corruscating embroidery with borders of labyrinthine fret-work around a field of diamond shaped patterns and illusive stalactites of seeming vitreous illumination, magically worked with patches and spiculae of green light itself as through unseen lenses were focussing all the color of the forest on to a bed of monster crystals.

That's one hell of a sentence.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Too bad you can't smoke in a McDonald's

You do live in California, don't you?

(Actually, I wish you couldn't smoke in restaurants here. But still.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's one hell of a sentence.

You'd think it'd be enough for one sentence to get away with one phrase like "spiculae of green light" but it's also got "longitudinally in one great tapis-vert of corruscating embroidery with borders of labyrinthine fret-work" and "illusive stalactites of seeming vitreous illumination."

You do live in California, don't you?

We are the future! Even the UK is headed towards no-smoking zones.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hah! Craig Biggio has broken the major league record for being hit by pitches: [link]

The record-breaking plunk was delivered by one of Nutty's all-time favorites, Byung-Hyun Kim. And there's this:

The Hall of Fame has requested Biggio's arm pad upon breaking the record...

The sentence writer probably had to stop for a cigarette after writing that.

I like this lobby the best, hometown theater and all. There's also the rotunda, featuring marble columns. They did a good job of renovating the place 20+ years ago.
