Thanks for that rec, Consuela (and huge luck to your brother and the other owner(s)!). My dad takes my nephew out to eat every month (C is a senior at Roosevelt Univ., and lives in school housing downtown), and is always looking for new suggestions (even though C is such a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to food and refuses to try anything that isn't a steak or burger), so I sent him that article and suggested he try it next time.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Dope (similarly old-school, Southern)
Or Coke (to refer to any soda/pop generically).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Soft drinks, as opposed to hard drinks/hard liquor, right?
I always thought the term cold drink came from them being bought chilled, from a machine, rather than with ice. My grandpa would always say cold drink to mean a bottled soda.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re hair color - my hair's a fairly bright auburn at this point (due for a color and cut on Saturday). I've had a couple of people ask me if the colorist bleached it before applying color ... and it later occurred to me that no, he doesn't ... because my hair's mostly white at this point.
I DID get the dramatic white streak in my dark hair; someone once said that if she didn't know me better, she'd think I'd done it artificially. Then it went mostly white and I've become addicted to the red.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Soft drinks, as opposed to hard drinks/hard liquor, right?
OH! Right. Of course.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought it could be iced tea, though
Maybe it did, I was picking up the usage from the outside, really. It definitely meant non-alcoholic, you are right about that. I feel like "Can I get you some tea? Maybe a cold drink?" was a common offering, but that was a long time ago.

I just picked up my new glasses and I LOVE them. I didn't need new one, strictly speaking, as my prescription hasn't changed, but I figured a spare pair couldn't hurt, seeing as I am rather clumsy and can just imagine myself accidentally throwing them overboard while at work. They are incredibly different from what I had before, but I love them!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dog That Has the Longest Ears in the World
Guinness World Records has a new record holder, an 8-year old Black and Tan Coonhound by the name of Harbor. His world record: Longest Ears on a Living Dog. His human companion, yoga instructor Jennifer Wert of Boulder, Colorado, says “…most days I forget how oddly long his ears are. He’s a phenomenon in the world and he creates smiles wherever we go”.
Harbor’s right ear is 13.5 inches and his left one is 12.25 inches. He will be included in the new Guinness World Records 2012 book due out September 15.
