Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Hey. New board.

Pretty sure it's "bacon" in Spanish. It is in portuguese.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Ha! Just looked it up, and it's el tocino OR el beicon. Bacon truly is part of the international language.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can also use lunchar (to lunch) in at least some Spanish-speaking places, so I guess English takes over when the concept is pretty American.

In other news, I just ran into a former coworker on the street, and I know I know her, but still have basically no idea who she is! Good times.

Hey. New board.

In Brazil, a cheeseburger is called a XBurger, pronounced "shees boerger" because that is how you pronounce that letter.

Hey. New board.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'll assert that while a club sandwich is structurally complicated when compared to other sandwiches, it is also a longstanding member of sandwich canon and should not be difficult to order or execute in either Spanish or English.

Yes, this, and it's not like it has eighteen steps.

Being mildly face blind means I *never* recognize people out of context. So I try to be vaguely polite to everyone and hope there's a clue in the conversation before it becomes embarrassing.

I concur. I think we can probably reach actual consensus on this and censure the offending restaurant accordingly.
