It was an art car. Which could have been a bus. Nobody at BRC calls them buses, trucks, or vans. Even Walter, the world's largest VW bus, is referred to as an art car. Or Walter.

(almost) Welcome to the Valley! I hope you fair well here. If you want to pick my brains about living here, I've been around for 15 years. =)

I live in Tempe, everyone jaywalks here. Everyone.

That is beyond terrible. =(

She is pretty cool. The problem with kids though, is that they seem to get each parent's most irritating qualities (mine included). Thankfully, she seems to have skipped the idiot gene/issue/what have you. In the words of my toddler, Whew. That was close.

Antigone has already covered it far better than I could.

Great. Now my brain has "I'm a Little Teapot," on repeat.

PETA can suck it. Your friends sound like fun though, it's cool that you all had that kind of experience so young. =)

Haha! PETA is pretty scary. Their propaganda is what propelled me to become veg (thanks older cousin who I looked up to).

Polenta guy reminds me of an ex. The one that asked me to "Please eat meat while pregnant so our child won't be born a vegetarian." I, like the server, paused and waited for the laugh. There was none forthcoming. With a loud sigh, I explained that being vegetarian was a dietary choice and not genetic.

Only sorta. We had a child, so I get to put up with his food habits by proxy. So picky, and mostly hates good stuff. Eg-says loves spinach, but only from a can. =/

I'm kinda like that, only my response was to stop eating beef. =)

Definitely on the list of reasons. =)

I'm from MO, so I get it. My fam did the after church meals/buffets (maybe that's why I don't care for buffets so much now?) . I also stopped eating steak over two decades ago. I've never experienced great steak (to my knowledge).

It is a most excellent fry condiment. Or steak ruiner.

My ex likes all steak well done. He'd also dump A1 sauce all over a overnight marinated, perfectly cooked medium steak. So wrong.

Thanks be to gouda.

Wow. You're an ass.

The newbie has done that. Sometimes, he's faster than me. He didn't enjoy it and spit it out. So, I guess that's good. Ftr, it was duck and sweet potato. The dog is fine. I'll tell my gf about it regardless. Danke!
