where would it be without the mocking?
I had to explain to someone that the only reason I really like to be around people at all is because of the opportunities it offers to mock!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So, speaking of annoying New York types... I was just in McDonald's and this little girl was throwing a drama fit about how she couldn't possibly sit there, with lots of pointing and gasping. The nanny was like, whatever, and started moving to another table. Finally the little girl said, "They wrote on the banquet!" Since when do five year olds know what a banquet is?
Um, what is a banquet. I mean, I know the "fancy feast" definition, but did she mean the table, or counter, or what.
Also? She's smart. Chris (will I EVER stop typing that as "Christ" < backspace > < space >) talked me into it, and my stomach is still unhappy, two and a half hours later.
banquet
I think it's ban-ket, which is a built in bench.
Fuck, I don't mean banquet. Banquette? The seats along the wall.
This is why I'll never be rich.
She meant the seat. (Pronounced like the qu are a k, I believe.)
Banquette? The seats along the wall.
Correct.
I have a special hate on for that type of child's parents.
MOCK MOCK MOCK.
Oh, but I did have a positive Youth Of New York experience, too -- these three boys on the subway were rapping to each other and singing and stuff, and I knew all the songs! (Ludacris, Kanye, Daddy Yankee, plus bonus R. Kelly mockery) I felt very hip and now.
My friend was on the subway the other day and she reported to me the following scene: a group of tourists is sitting. A stop, passenger gets on and starts to sit near them when one of their children suddenly yells, "you can't sit there! That seat is saved!" Clearly startled, the guy sat somewhere else. But it's not just the NY kids.
