F*CK ME! I've just been invited by the President of the conference I'm attending in NYC to a VIP dinner at Morimoto's. - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 11:03 62

- go. it's worth the trip. eat light, nobody will care. -- nm - colin Feb 13, 11:26 2
  - oh, and the menu is pretty bland looking.. sure you'll be fine on the stomach. -- nm - colin Feb 13, 11:27 1
    - Bland to you and me. It's a nightmare to Mop. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:30
- They need to hire Vermin to re-design that web site -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 11:26 3
  - Well, thank you! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 11:33
  - I had a job once where I had to look at restaurant websites all day. They're seemingly designed to keep people away from pertinent information. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:28 1
    - this! how hard is it to put your phone number and street address in a place easily found? -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 11:34
- You know that what he serves in the restaurant is not the same as what he makes on Iron Chef, right? -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 13, 11:22
- You could eat before -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 11:13
- Go, network! Order what you think you can eat. If they are drinkers, order a vodka/ice and a glass of water, then switch 'em. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:11 25
  - that's just silly. -- nm - decline Feb 13, 11:15 2
    - absolutely, but it really happens, especially the higher up you go. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:17 1
      - not around here it doesn't. Big wigs around here drink like fishes and expect you to keep up - decline Feb 13, 11:20
  - Eeeesh. Is there really a need to fake drink in this day and age? I hope the hell not. -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:12 21
    - Those circles and mentality still exist, yes. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:13 20
      - Well, at least the smoking circles are dead, and reversed. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:17 6
        
        In my work I see a different world. I see the Kennedy-type circles and it's alive and kicking. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:19 5
        
        Yep. I think your views are a bit tainted on this one. Mop lives in Corvallis with Corvallis people. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:20 4
        
        yeah, I can see that now. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:24 3
        
        :) I like your stories of Hollywood though. Crazy place -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:26 2

        *scratches you off the next invite list* -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:16 11
        
        I'm a unique case, however - in that I have never had an alcoholic beverage in my life ... extreme teetotaler. So I wouldn't even pretend. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:21 5
        
        Have you ever taken Nyquil? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:22 4
        
        No. Although when I was a kid I did take Dimetapp, but I don't know if that had alcohol at the time. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:24 3
        
        (I have had food that was prepared with alcohol, under the guise that it "cooked off", but I'm not too concerned about that.) - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:28
        
        LUSH! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:26 1
        
        hah. (see above IM :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:29
        
        I would imagine you see the extreme of this though considering where you live and what you do. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:18 1
        
        Yes. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:20
        
        don't be ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:18 1
        
        To be fair. Look at where he lives and what he does. I think he's making a point, and not trying to be rude -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:18
        
        scratches you off of mine right back. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:16
- "I've already committed to something else that night" What? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:11
- What a Beaver! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:09
- unless you are going clubbing with Jeter, go to the dinner -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 11:08 1
  - Better yet, have dinner with Jeter at the restaurant, and then on the way out, stop by the other table, "This is how I roll." -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 11:18
- Go, and can you get any more pretentious with that website? -- nm - amoxy Feb 13, 11:07 1
  - all restaurant websites suck. It's like a law, or something. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:26
- *headdesk* -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 11:05
- you can't be that fucking stupid - pixitude Feb 13, 11:05 4
  - seriously. did he even look at the menu? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:14 2
    - heh, I think he did. After spending a little time with Mop I can assure you that there's nothing on that menu he could eat. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:29
    - I couldn't even get to the website. Clicked on the link which opened up another link - amoxy Feb 13, 11:26
  - Well, when you need to eat an entire pack of imodium tablets just to be able to sit down for an hour, your priorities in life become skewed. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:06
- Is this a "you and 30 other people" invite or a "you and the conference President" invite? -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 11:05 7
  - I very much doubt it's a one-on-one. My absence would not be missed, although I doubt it's 30 people. More like 10 or 15. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 11:07 6
    - With that number you'd be missed. This sounds like a great opportunity to make contacts and build potential for advancement. - TWuG Feb 13, 11:09 3
      - or heck, just call the restaurant, tell them what you can eat, and ask if they would be able to accomodate special dietary needs -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 11:18
      - he can't eat roast chicken? he can't eat steak? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:16 1
        
        I don't know. I would hope there's something that wouldn't cause issue. - TWuG Feb 13, 11:19
    - diva will kick your *ass* -- nm - pixitude Feb 13, 11:09
    - honestly, it would be dumb not to go. - decline Feb 13, 11:08
My parents accused me of being a liar - marcel Feb 13, 10:59
valentine's day eve dear prudence chat q: what's an appropriate valentine's day celebration with an estranged, cheating husband? - pixitude Feb 13, 10:58 9
- Yeah, I agree with the "kids are old enough" to either learn the truth, or at least miss two-parent-together-time and still avoid emotional scarring. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 11:29 1
  - right, i don't think i'd make Valentines Day the day that mom and dad decided to disillusion the kids day, but they don't need to see mom and dad - Andie Feb 13, 11:36
- Catch a film. That's 2 hours of not talking right there. -- nm - Loyola Feb 13, 11:08
- the kids aren't that stupid. they may be hopeful, but not stupid. let him take them for yogurt. period. - Andie Feb 13, 11:03
- how about just sayign no to him, take the kids someplace nice and tell them dad's not there because he's a cheat and a liar - decline Feb 13, 11:03
- Bang the Ice Cream Guy - Epiphany Feb 13, 11:03

  - It's a good one. "You attract everything you need and most of what you want" - oblique Feb 13, 10:58 1
    - Heh, thanks! -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 10:59
With all the drug/alcohol-related deaths that occur in the music industry, why don't shows like the Grammys ever seem to address substance abuse? - ty97 Feb 13, 10:54 25
- Drug testing Grammy award candidates would be hilarious. -- nm - Max Feb 13, 11:08 9
  - "You cannot perform tonight unless you are at least *this* high!" -- nm - prayformojo Feb 13, 11:09 7
    - "No need to test Nicki." -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:11 5
      - "The test came back clean!" "Run it again!" "We did! Twice!" -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 11:14
      - Hey, the only prohibition is against performance *enhancing* drugs. -- nm - Nicki Feb 13, 11:13
      - *sigh* - pixitude Feb 13, 11:12 2
        
        Oh, God. I was in Reagen's head yesterday, now Reagen is in your head! - TWuG Feb 13, 11:13 1
        
        Pixivitch. Pixivitch pixivitch! - Reagen Feb 13, 11:14
    - you're good to go, Nicki Minaj! -- nm - pixitude Feb 13, 11:10
  - "this one's clean"..."it goes in the retest pile" -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 11:09
- cause it's an award show, not a substance abuse program -- nm - pixitude Feb 13, 11:00
- Because they would be a bunch of hypocrites -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 10:58 1
  - *ding* -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 10:58
- For an event that's meant to celebrate the industry, this would seem to fall between opportunistic and lecturing. - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 10:57 6
  - The people in the theater are not the audience I'm interested in. -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 10:58 5
    - Remember Whitney Houston when she had everything? Now she has nothing. Drugs = Bad mmmkay -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:07
    - But it's what matters to the media, like Gervais at the Golden Globes. - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 11:05 1
      - The education would be wasted on adults with successful careers who have drug problems. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:07
    - Remember the "this is brain on drugs" commercial. That got more laughs than converts. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:00 1
      - oh yeah, the Ad Council campaigns are normally bad -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 11:01
- It didn't need to be addressed on stage. I'm positive it was discussed by everyone at the Grammy's last night. - CrankYanker Feb 13, 10:57 1
  - "Be smarter about doing drugs: Learn how not to die." I think this is what people in the entertainment industry do, but - con_carne Feb 13, 11:29
- To me. The death itself says alot about doing drugs. What more is there to say? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 10:56 2
  - they should let Lilo host the awards after a weekend binge. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 10:58 1
    - or maybe just let Kanye go up on stage after drinking heavily. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:01

- I am god, here, as well. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 11:18
- Unlimited, plus I'm trusted with a half million dollar vehicle for days on end. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:15
- None and it's very limited at home too. -- nm - Krusty Feb 13, 11:09
- Used to have 250k before I changed jobs...had to have prior approval for the budget but once that was done; I could buy at discretion. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 11:03
