Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I won't go to those restaurants anyway, because they're the ones where all the dishes have names like "I am empowered" or "I am enlightened," and you have to order by saying, "I am enlightened," and then the waiter responds, "You are enlightened."

That is really hysterical! And yeah, I wouldn't eat there either.

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

It looks like the menus at the locations other than the Berkeley one don't have all the "I am" things. I know they used to. I guess people in places other than Berkeley weren't as willing to play along.

Because books.

Okay, who's opening the restaurant where the menu items are all, "I'm bitter" and "I'm disillusioned" and "I'm fucking peeved"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am...going to punch you in the face if you don't bring me some quinoa.

The status is NOT quo.

That would be the Roadkill Cafe. No kidding.

Didn't need to be said twice.

Because books.

Oh man, sign me up.

the bar menu must be awesome! "I'm sloppy," "I'm depressed," "I'm in denial."

Here's the Cafe Gratitude menu.

The menu does look tasty, but I would have to order on line or something because I couldn't bring myself to order "I am pure" out loud under any circumstances.

Indeed the Buffista alternative would surely thrive right across the street from Cafe Gratitude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would like to eat at the Fight Club version of that today. I am Jack's complete inability to do housework sounds about right for lunch.
