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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What is even happening?
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.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Correct.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I know the Kal-el thing has been covered, but I just realized what you all have been talking about.
KAL-EL??
The 41-year-old actor and his wife, a former sushi waitress about 20 years his junior, met at a nightclub last year before marrying on July 30, 2004.
10 kittens says she had no idea at first.
