Today somebody said something about a new Mexican restaurant in town, and I thought that was a really specific regional food choice. -- nm - nubby Oct 15, 14:58 6

        I assumed, but I missed the beginning of the report so I wasn't sure. -- nm - the liioulu without chocolate Oct 15, 15:01

    - Stopping at White Castle is never called for. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 15, 14:38 1
      - It is if you want decent onion rings. - the liioulu without chocolate Oct 15, 14:53
- Dude, why wouldn't you go to Melting Pot? It's yummy and well, you generally will score afterwards -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 14:33 5

LYC: Google Wave is a little overwhelming. Seeing what people type as they type it is confusing -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 14:25 11

  - I would expect us all to have enough invites to go around in about 3 weeks. That's how gmail seemed to work. -- nm - David Oct 15, 14:45
  - Technically they were "nominations" that I sent. Who knows if/when those will turn into invites -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 14:29
- hmmm...I can see some situations where that might not be a good thing... -- nm - Stephen Oct 15, 14:26 6
  - Seems like for those situations, you'd just turn that feature off. -- nm - mara Oct 15, 14:29 2
    - can't (not that I can find) -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 14:30 1
      - Ah. Someone should edit the Wikipedia article. -- nm - mara Oct 15, 14:32

    - Thank god I don't play for money anymore. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 14:45 1
      - I said "win big", not "win money"! It's all about the rush. -- nm - David Oct 15, 14:46
- I just looked at the menu....i'm a cheap bastard. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 14:20 17

    - ....... - Will Hunting Oct 15, 14:22 6
      - 21 course tasting menu for $121. Per course that's cheaper than Wendy's -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 14:26 3
        
        I like how you all assume a 21-course meal is not a problem for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 14:26 2
        
        I only know what the legends say -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 14:27
