Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Even their kids menu is stuff like "I am a winner" and "I am a star." (And looking at the actual food on their menu more closely, it's a lot more raw food than I'd noticed before.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Not to mention gramatically unsound. The name of the item is "I am dazzling," not "you are dazzling."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Wow - that makes me laugh and laugh. I would have to order an "I am not playing along" and a " You are ridiculous"

This really says it all:

Our food and people are a celebration of our aliveness.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Even their kids menu is stuff like "I am a winner" and "I am a star."

And what's with calling it their "offering for children"? Weird, indeed.

"offering for children"

Sounds more like something you give a fertility god in order to get divine favor in reproduction attempts.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Fertility gods are rarely vegan, though.

For upscale vegan food in SF, I've heard that Millennium [link] is fabulous. Entrees from $20 to $25, though, so more a special occasion place than an everyday place.

I have a washer and dryer I can use now! Next up, outdoor outlet.

I finally found Loki's upstairs hiding place. He'd disappear on me and then suddenly appear in the hall. He was going in the big closet, on a shelf behind all the hanging clothes. It's dark, cozy and now I'm sure all those clothes are coated in cathair....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sarameg - do you mean your clothes aren't always covered in cat hair? I'm impressed ....

Well, the ones I am wearing now are. My work clothes are rarely worn at home. My home/weekend clothes? Now those are layered in hair. CLean clothes? Well, I'll probably never get all the hair off 'em, but...
