Long essay, sorry, but the part where he talks about how Brett Easton Ellis portrays young rich kids is great. As are other parts, just less relevant here. http://exiledonline.com/david-foster-wallace-portrait-of-an-infinitely-limited-mind/

1. Smoque is great. When they first opened they did a special tasting menu of regional barbeques. I had to leave right after the tri-tip because I was in college and had a final exam the next morning...

You know what’s really not manly? Being so concerned about how manly you look that you endanger yourself and others.

This guy is basically the Bono of politics - a heartless vampire, completely dependent on the blood of children from poorer nations to survive.

I used to live in a building behind a cheap American-Chinese place. They were the only place within easy walking distance that was open past 11:30, so my roommates and I ended up going there a lot. We never saw anything wrong with the food that we got there, but since we lived behind them, we saw the other stuff. For…

You don’t want to fight hard, like a crow?

“Pile of Wet Sheets Leftover From a Rat Orgy” is, if I ever write a book, the title I’m going with. I’ll find a reason that it fits.

I also think it used to be that they would (sometimes) make quesadillas, but they make them using the same heated press that they use to make their tortillas pliable, so it would really hold up the line. I think they only did them during off-hours or for children?

I was honestly imagining this asshole was going to argue that we’d have to change the flag to have 51 stars and that would cost taxpayer money. This isn’t much better...

Unfortunately you’re probably right...

I was also confused by “outbreak money”?

Also, it’s obviously this guy buying all the wings:

I currently work in an economics department, I’d like to know where I can apply to transfer to this “Wings Dept.” you speak of?

Exactly. If I ever have to take the stand in court, I’m going to try arguing “oh, I wasn’t given the questions in advance... mistrial!”

If that ridiculous idea of having a hearing on “cancel culture” ever goes to Congress, the first question that I hope a senator asks is “define, precisely, what cancel culture is.” It’s become a nothing-term, a right wing boogie man. Your right to free speech means the government can’t tell you what to say. It doesn’t…

This might make me sound like a weirdo, which would be fair, but I generally avoid eating in front of someone until about date number four? It makes conversation harder, and opposed to a drink, a meal really locks you in for the long haul. I can’t imagine if there were also cameras and producers there, I’d never eat…

Not to doxx myself, but my mom’s maiden name is Barbezat. Is that guy my long lost cousin or something? It’s not exactly a common name (French-Swiss originally).

It isn’t really the season, but I grew up in rural Maine, near Quebec, and need to put in a word for tourtiere, a savory meat pie traditionally made around Christmas. In my opinion, the best food to come out of Quebec after poutine, anything at Joe Beef, their (superior to NYC, convince me I’m wrong) bagels and maple…

That clip with Dr. Shola, which ends with “no, I wont let you trash the queen, I’m not going to let you do it, I wont let you” inadvertently proves her point very well.
