I had no idea that "shirt" was a euphemism for Dick Cheney.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Here's the thing: servers work for the restaurants. They do NOT work for the patrons. Patrons should NOT be directly responsible for the livelihood of the servers. It's the restaurant's responsibility to properly pay ALL staff. Why are food servers different than someone who sells clothing? We don't tip the person who folds the sweaters at the Gap and who helps us figure out sizes and rings us up. There might be a commission structure, sure, but it's invisible to the patron.
And why in the hell should a server's wage be paid by a patron, on the basis of how much that patron consumes? It's ridiculous. The server who gets a budget-minded couple is going to take home less of a tip (despite the percentage, if the couple is on a budget, the food cost will be less, thus a lesser tip) than the server who gets lucky and serves a couple who can spend more. It's a completely ludicrous set-up.

Fay, I meant to comment on the "you must obviously be black" comment as well -- I am also surprised it went apparently unnoticed.
Yeah, that was completely bizarre.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm bored. Somebody amuse me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This man-purse: Not manly enough?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It is a little too manly for me, and I am a girl...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like that bag a lot, Tom. It says "manly" to me! That official man-bag seems to be sweeping the nation -- I think my father has it, after seeing a friend with one.

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
Pretty manly.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm still pimping this man bag. Because someone needs to own it!

Punishingly Intricate
Manly!
I think that crazy poster on chow has posted about the same subject on the B'more Sun restaurant blog! Crazy all over the internet.
