one of my ex-gfs worked at TGI Friday's and had to wear actual items of flair

actual flair

Jordan, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

A muffaletta is not authentic at all if it is VEGGIE. How is that even possible? You need the additional saltiness of pork products.

I said before, it's a SALT SANDWICH.

it has lots of olives

and i don't give a crap if it's authentic, it is tasty as a mothra

from the cta regarding the holiday train:

The train operates approximately from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on several Saturdays, and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on select weekdays (schedules for each individual line will vary), and will make stops at all stations along the respective routes.

nick, where's your office in evanston? i still think we should do an evanston lunch (and invite kr as well? and toby?) sometime, but it's kind of insane here at the moment so closer to the holidays would probably be better...

colette, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link

oh yeah i keep forgetting you're out here. I'm like a block north and a half-block west of the big movie theater, on un1vers1ty pl@ce.

fave evanston eatery: cozy noodles

gis for "mothrafucker" was clean! also:

A real S.O.B., a step up from motherfucker (but perhaps less offensive when heard in public). Evolved from motherfucker and inspired by the monstrocity Mothra, a foe of the famous Godzilla.

"That mothrafucker just stepped on my sac!"
"Mothrafucking Godzilla is always going around stepping on people's sacs."
"Only a real mothrafucking mothrafucker would commit such an inconsiderate act."

WTF. Who doesn't accept cash as a legitimate form of payment? I just wasted 40 minutes sitting at the DMV to renew my registration only to find out they don't accept cash. No credit card, no debit card, no cash. Checks or money orders only. What a fucking joke. Now I have to waste another lunch hour there tomorrow too.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

I bet the person who told you that was really fucking smug and aloof about it, too.

dan m, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Yes. As if they were taking tremendous pleasure in knowing I'd wasted all that time for nothing.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Isn't it ILLEGAL not to accept cash?? It's legal tender, for fuck's sake!

Laurel, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link

wow, i had no idea how much it costs to fly business class from LA to hong kong. i'm shocked. anyone want to take a guess (without cheating)?

colette, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link

$2500?

Laurel, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link

I would imagine it depends on the lead time for buying the ticket. Given a couple of months notice, I'd say $1200.

dan m, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, from LA. That changes things. Business class is still retarded money, though.

Laurel, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link

$2501?

Jordan, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link

$1?

Jordan, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. and i just bought it (for my boss). that's f-ing crazy.

(i'm sure you can do it cheaper, but this is refundable and the client is paying anyway.)

oh, and it's not like they're leaving tomorrow-- this is for mid january...

colette, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Wow, United economy class for about that time is only 1400.

"only" about half my monthly salary

dan m, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link

don't you just love it when you can't concentrate on reading the newspaper at lunch because the restaurant you're in is playing aerosmith's amazing?

stingy, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link

I like that song, too.

dan m, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link

that's never happened to me because i would not remain in a restaurant playing post '78 aerosmith.

unrelated: i remembered to bring my carmex with me for the first time in a week and boy are my lips happy.

chicago kevin, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link

the songs kept skipping too, so i assume it was a mix cd that one of the workers brought in. other songs were aerosmith's cryin', ben folds' rockin' the suburbs, hey jude, and some recent green day song that i can't remember the words to now.

stingy, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link

die die die die

Laurel, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link

That playlist would make me psychotic.

Laurel, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link

xmas break?

dan m, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Yes!
I have to stick around after the semester's done for some administrative stuff, but nothing that will require teaching/grading/dealing with slimy cheaters who must think I'm an enormous moron if they think I don't know how to use google as well as they do.

La Lechera, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

why is it so warm outside today?

La Lechera, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:42 (sixteen years ago) link

"only" about half my monthly salary

I want your job.

jaymc, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:52 (sixteen years ago) link

I told you guys we were hiring! Kevin got it. :D

dan m, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
