The Poojer

Not totally related to this thread but just saw this on facebook and found it funny.....

food was terrific, probably the best steak i have ever eaten by a long shot. service was very questionable...they claimed to be surprisingly busy but there weren't more than 6 tables occupied. As I thought about the whole offering to pay the tip part, it dawned on me that that is kind of awkward in and of itself...one of the points to be taken out and treated to dinner is so that you do not have to worry about what it costs...but if you are offering to pay the tip, you need to know how much they spent, at least ballpark, to leave an acceptable tip. he's hung like a frigging horse!

No, I didn't fail any tests. I was praised up and down all night by my hosts, heard back from my friends afterwards and the reports were glowing as to how nice of a time we all had. We were joined at dinner by one of my friends aunts, my hosts sister/sister-in-law, so some of the pressure was alleviated by that. I'm still full.

Ok, so played out like I kinda thought. Barely saw the transaction take place. Good meal, service sucked. Ordered the cowboy ribeye but got the center cut. It was DELICIOUS, so didn't even mention it to the server. Now I've got $100 cash in my pocket

Yeah, that reply was epic, made me laugh as well

Waited for that reply. She isn't here. Just her parents and I.

oh i agree...i suggested my corner bar, The Flying Pig, that is 100% my style and I bring everyone that comes into town there, but yeah, I think they enjoy the finer things in life so I know they know the deal. $60 for meat....wow....that really is out of my comfort level even thinking about that.. the french onion soup and horseradish potatoes really piqued my interest. And yeah, I am not a wine guy, but I love learning about and drinking good wine paired with food. I assume it will be a wine evening which I am perfectly fine with

i eat my steak with ketchup and between 2 pieces of dry toast

Yeah, I was gonna stick with med rare

Tell me about it. I keep hitting refresh all day...these reports and updates can't come often enough....

yeah, i did see a couple ribeye items on the menu that caught my eye....love asparagus!

Good for him, that was a good piece. He does good work, but sometimes he just acts like an ass and that puts people off. I enjoy his writing for the most part!

I must be out of my mind for seeking legit advice after the crap I fling in similar threads, but here goes.... Meeting Parents of a friend of mine for dinner tonight. They are in town from Richmond, they want to take me to dinner at Mortons. I have only met them one or two times so that in and of itself is going to be kind of awkward, but that's ok. They are treating...I am not a Morton's kind of guy, I will actually be surprised if they let a troglodyte like me in the place. Do I offer to pay the tip? I figure I will hit the ATM and come prepared with about $50 in cash(I NEVER carry cash on me). What say y'all? Also what should I get? Like I said, I have never set foot in Mortons and my steak knowledge is non-existent. Suggestions on cuts? Dishes? Thanks.

I can live up to THAT hype and I'm 52 and fat

Bless your little heart!

and here we were making fun of his direcTV problems...little did we know he was teetering on the edge....

we need a Petrino Ode to camp...it's been a long time since this board has had one of those.

oh it's gonna be a madhouse. I may head in to the city to see him...we'll see

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

i'd prefer to call Baby Lissa....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Baby Lissa......

Don't be to hard on yourself....that wasn't what officially made you dense....

I look like this but still get to tap this:

from what I am hearing from reports from people at the practices, Manuel is playing pretty well, but all the talking heads are saying that the others are playing better, Taylor is using his feet a lot, Cassel has hit some nice throws. Manuel is playing against the #4 defense, primarily, while the others are playing 2nd unit, correct? I trust those that are watching the practices over those that get paid to write about them. Defenses are always ahead of Offenses at this point of pre-season, so it's natural that a QB is going to have ups and downs early on....dear lord this is driving me nuts...i want the regular season to start so we can get away from all this speculation.

when you are watching it, do you see a bowl of spaghetti-o's slowly turning around?
