Hi Fern! Yay for delurkng and in my home town too! EC represent. Is anyone else lurking in EC? Maybe there's an unusual concentration of lurking Buffistas here.

I have to add to the awesome that is El Cerrito, an otherwise nondescript place with 1940s bungalows and unfortunate 50s, 60s, and 70s architecture. El Cerrito is home to Les Blank of the perhaps not well known Gap-toothed Women and assorted other documentaries. John Fogarty and the other CCR members went El Cerrito high. We have a button store, that's all they sell. It is home to 33 Revolutions (yes I know I'm repeating myself, but it bears repeating). What Fern didn't mention is that the adult toy/bookstore is part one of a trifecta of porn, thai food, and no tell motel. Not that I saw my best friend's father take full advantage 25 years ago, nope, uh uh. Oh and this trifecta has staying power. Okay I'm sure there's more awesome but now I'm just bragging about my home town. I'm just so excited EC turns out to be a hotbed of Buffista lurkerdom.

Sorry for any typos. I'm writing this on my phone. Hi Fern again! EC glee!

Casually reminding Zenkitty that she can use M-16

trifecta of porn, thai food, and no tell motel

Wait, what? Why is thai food in there between arousal and consummation? Have I been doing it wrong all these years?

The order really is important isn't it?

It should read porn, no tell motel, and thai food.

/proud lurker who learned how to quote. This thread is like having Buffista training wheels.

Megan, Local Hero is a sort of homage to I know Where I'm Going. If you know the film, you'll recognize and delight in the little touches throughout. It's also a WONDERFUL film in its own right and you should see it right now.

You, and all the cool lurkers who have been posting.

...sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Yes, clearly the Thai food belongs before, during, AND after.

nom nom nom

...amusingly, I discovered this week (courtesy of a lesbian mate) while gleefully muttering "nom nom nom!" as my dinner arrived, that "nom" is Thai for "tit".

Oh, again, dear.

::collapsing in laughter::

I need to find a thai restaurant. Apparently I have indeed been doing it wrong. Hey! This is why I don't have a husband! Lack of post-coitus pad thai!

I'm a native San Franciscan & moved to the East Bay six years ago, now live in El Cerrito.

Oh! Yes, I was just looking at the map yesterday and wondering, "Who's this Fern Armstrong?" I'm in Oakland. I had no idea El Cerrito was so interesting.

I think that was where Sparky suggested I move when I came out looking at apts. Did she live there? I can't remember.
