    It's not that exclusive, I got a reservation (No, it wasn't for the next day or the next week.) and I'm nobody.

    It was nice enough, but the food was so rich I was up all night. Next year, I pick my birthday dinner restaurant.

    Absolutely hilarious, Foster. And dead on.

    On a similar note, whenever I have to cancel a reservation at one of NY's trendy restaurants, I always make sure I call and apologize profusely for their inconvenience. Because perish the thought I might be blacklisted by the restaurant mafioso, and never be able to get a reservation again for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.

    The "apology'' was priceless. I must ask, did Jesse require ketchup with his fries, or was he required to provide a sample of blood?

    I'm not sure which is more pathetic: an establishment that forces customers to grovel to do business with it and thus offers the opposite of customer service, or a customer who grovels to such an obnoxious establishment. Me, I will go to Tad's Steaks.

    @TheBusinessGuy:

    The night I went, I had to change the time of the reservation and they were perfectly obliging because they had room to maneuver.

    It's poor judgment to be rude in the first instance to people who have momentary power over you, whether they be reservationists, clerks, customer service reps, etc.

    By Adam and all the polytheistic naming gods, why not "Tablets," people? Like Moses' two tablets, or even "take two and call me in the morning" for a headache of Old Testament-style proportions.

    @BookishLookish: Then every edition would have to be a double-issue. The ad stack won't support it.


    (Little known save to Torah scholars: When Moses strolled down off Sinai and held up the tablets, a bunch of subscription cards dropped out and flittered to the ground.)

    That whole Euna Lee and Laura Ling situation gives me a big sad on. I just can't imagine the dread and hopelessness they must be feeling. Let's hope this gets resolved quickly. Send in Bill Richardson, he's done well with these situations before.

    @bytememehard: and all the thousands of N. Koreans being *starved on purpose* and tortured in those forced labor camps.


    I awoke this morning so grateful to make myself a cup of coffee; to have that freedom sort of blew my mind today.

    @bytememehard: Imagine how they would feel if they read all the comments from people who feel they Ling and Lee deserved what they got. Are we really that scared and insecure of a nation now that we can't even muster the courage to defend our own citizens, regardless of their actions, overseas?

    @pepelicious: What's particularly sick about those comments is that it's most likely that Ling and Lee were set up by their guide(s) and kidnapped from the Chinese side of the border.
