Shame you've left the DC area, Raq. Did you get to Famous Dave's in Oakton before you left? Some may find the Upper Midwest kitsch a bit much (brings back memories for me), but they do various meats (including beef) in various styles (both tomato- and vinegar-base).
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Feh. FEH! I say. You cannot call it a barbecue unless it involves some kind of barbecue SAUCE! Hence the name.
I'll tell you what, you tell my grandandy that and we'll all watch what happens.

Nora, did you see my post in Bitches last week about my bro's new menu for Oktoberfest? And how you should go and have wurst and Bavarian-style beer?
I did, and instantly blanked it out, because I cannot afford to go to Vermont again for a while! Why, the cheese costs alone! Wish I could just skip up and back for the day...

the way some babies have bald sides
My niece had the bald sides, but because she pulled her hair out in fistfuls, not because that's how her hair grew. My SIL told me about leaving Courtney in her bouncy-seat on the floor while she did dishes, and glancing over to see her laughing in glee and waving her fists around, filled with red hair from above her ears. She did this for a few months before starting to crawl. Of course, now that she's in junior high, her hair is past her butt and approaching her knees, so the hair does grow back!

It *is* possible, you know. Just not optimal.

move out and draw fire
Did you get to Famous Dave's in Oakton before you left?
Yep, we went there several times, and really liked them. We had to quit going when a family member started flicking her Prozac across the table and bouncing it off the sauce bottles, yelling at the waiter "I'm not getting any calmer!!! Where's my tea?!?!"

Are you ready to be strong?
Hey, Robin, if you're around, remember a few years ago you gave me and Saget advice about where to stay on Isla Mujeres? I'm trying to remember the name of the hotel we stayed at and can't come up w/ it. I think it wasn't the one you usually stay at but one you recommended anyway because it was small and not obnoxious. Do you remember the name?

All this talk about barbeque sauce makes me want to ask my dad if he could mix me up a batch of his award-winning sauce (his team's ribs won the big Chicago Tribune Ribfest back in 1988, and they won many other awards before selling the business about 10 years ago).
