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

Though I do like clam chowder from time to time.

No. Just, no. Clam chowder is basically a savory latte with bugs in it - hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons.

It's like my mom always said: If a cop handcuffs you to a bike rack there's always something you can gnaw through.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel bad because Jason is so dim that I kind of assume the actor isn't the brightest bulb either. Which I'm sure is not true.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Against all good sense, I am totally charmed by Jason - well the Jason actor at any rate. His line delivery never fails to crack me the hell up. I cackled so much at the conclusion of his story to Michael. "... and we slashed their tires."

Also great: the actress who plays Mindy. "Is there *anything* I can snort? Aspirin, cracked aspirin? Eye shadow? Cocaine?"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

No. Just, no. Clam chowder is basically a savory latte with bugs in it - hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons.

Manhattan clam chowder is an abomination. And actually, in S1, didn't Trevor say the dining car of the train only served room-temperature Manhattan clam chowder?

Yup.

Manhattan is the only kind my father used to eat.

Also, one of the restaurants was named Sushi and the Banshees.

Every food pun from that episode.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Full disclosure: David made me some excellent New England clam chowder right before we watched this episode. It made for some deeply uncomfortable moments.

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

I regret JZ's menu tonight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I love the abundance of puns so hard. Full forking speed ahead, The Good Place!
