I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is it time to re-tell the story of Breakfast At Panera at the first F2F?

Is this where we get the phrase, "eat a muffin"?

Heh. No -- as Sue noted, that's from Rio.

At the first F2F, one morning the Buffistas drifted down the street to Panera for breakfast-y sustenance. As is their wont, the Buffistas straggled in not in one big group, but in clumps, arriving anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes apart.

Invariably, whenever a New York-ista arrived, they would get their food, come over to where the Buffista encampment was eating, and pronounce, "These are NOT bagels!"

And then another clump would arrive 2-15 minutes later, and if there were any New York-istas in that clump, the same thing would happen all over again. Phrased exactly the same, with the same intonation and everything.

Pretty damned funny to the non-New York-istas.

t edit Or, what Jess said.

And I think the Chicago F2F does, in fact, pre-date Rio's EAT A MUFFIN, WHITEY post.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You may want to give the Texture and Tones stuff a shot. It's got some awesome-looking shades.

I will try and hunt it down.

What kind of luck did you have with the Feria Professional? Did it work okay on you?

It was okay. I think I was suckered in because the woman on the blonde package kinda looked like me. In the end my Blonde Lightning or whatever it is I use is quick and effective.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any dog people on here want to hear a madly adorable (if I do say so) story about my doggie?

Okay. I was walking our 35-pound, blond smiley half Chow-half Eskimo dog this morning (which was nice--I haven't felt up to walking her the last few mornings). She pounced on something, then leaped back. I thought she'd been stung by a bee, but she pounced again and when she jumped back, I saw it was a grasshopper. She watched it jump, then went over and sniffed it carefully from head to toe. After that she wagged her tail, went in front of it and MADE A PLAY BOW. Yes, my dog asked a grasshopper if it wanted to play. She is such a sweetheart--she loves every cat and dog she has ever met. And now insects.

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

That's hilarious. (the dog. The muffin thing is too, but I was referring to the dog.)
