There's got to be a place during a lame ass meeting for a good "More??!? You want More?!??!?"
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My coworkers all have an agreement that we will ask no questions and make no comments if we know we are in for a particularly stupid staff meeting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, god -- we try to do that, but sometimes it gets so bad we have to comment! Or change the subject! Or something. Upshot is, the meeting is EVEN FUCKING LONGER and wtf.

I'll tell my Auntie Ellen you said so, because she makes them.
Really?! They are gorgeous! I really love the one made of wheat, and the tankard one at Chowning's Tavern is really clever. I ate there the one time I went to Williamsburg--I really should get back there someday, preferably at Christmastime.

One coworker promised the deputy uber-boss cookies if he made it through a whole meeting without speaking. He did! But it was hard work for him.

Chowning's Tavern
Last time I checked, my Aunt and Uncle thought the food was best at Christiana Campbell's. If you're ever going down, let me know and I'll check in with them.
We spent some time there this summer with friends visiting from CA and found it very kid-unfriendly in terms of food -- no kids menus at the taverns!
eta: I almost forgot the most important part -- I can get you 1/2 price tickets through my Aunt and Uncle (because they live in Williamsburg).
