I have not. Curiously, there’s a Chef Tony’s in the more white-folks mall food court, but I’d never been particularly tempted. I’m assuming this is part of the chain, but I don’t know for certain. I may not be here much longer. Maybe I should try and get it while I can.

they’re all the fuck over Vancouver, to the exclusion of other US brands w/ Canadian presence, like Taco Bell and Arby’s.

I am deeply saddened by this news...

They aren’t wrapped in standard wonton skins. It’s a dough that is pinched and rolled into flat little discs. The filling is smooshed in and the dough is formed around it, with the shape on top coming from little pleats made to seal it.

If you’re in SoCal and the San Gabriel Valley is even remotely accessible to you in a reasonable amount of time, you should go to Dean Sin World and pick up several of the afore mentioned bags of 50. They are all handmade, and DSW provides dumplings for several of the restaurants in the vicinity.

$2.99 for 6 isn’t bad, but is it actually worth it when you can get a big ol’ bag of 50 for like, $15-20 any any decent Asian market? And surely, anyplace with a Trader Joe’s is bound to have at least one somewhere... If you’re in a city big enough to have a Chinatown, you can get probably get them hand made.

the proper Vonnegut emoticon is:

fried thai chili fish sauce wings or GTFO

“The Wall”is a masterpiece, even if overexposure has robbed it of some of its power to impress. To be reminded of just how good it is, I suggest a few sizable bong rips and a viewing of the film. The weed isn’t *strictly* necessary, but helps to clear away some of that modern cynicism.

I think that Beavis and Butthead are the unknowing gurus behind it all. Not intentionally, no. No, they are at LEAST every bit as dumb as they look, both individually and collectively.

And the moment you make that proposal, someone (white) will say “But If You See Something, Say Something!” because what if they see a suspicious (brown) person taking pictures of mall because they’re going to fly a plane into it? Do you want to discourage an engaged an alert citizen? Why are you PRO TERRORIST?!?!

damnit. now I want thai food.

I’m American, recently living in Canada, and had no idea who she was prior to the royal wedding hubbub. The way people were going on here, I simply assumed she was part Canuck.

She’s not secretly British, but she IS Canadian, and they have all sorts of weird Anglo/Franco alternates. Aubergine/eggplant, rocket/arugula, cilantro/corriander. Similar situation in OZ/NZ

You know, what with all sorts of people coming in for (usually well-deserved) public shunning, I would encourage them to take a look at how to handle this sort of thing. Doubtless, most of the people subject to this treatment can probably afford to pick up the tab, or at least, have whatever lobbying firm do it for…

I’m going to guess w/o googling, but I think it’s Top Secret, the Zucker film that came *before* Airplane, also starred Kilmer, and is awesome.

I was already having a shit day...

He probably thought Michael Cohen was related to Roy Cohn, his long time hero and exemplar of all things repulsive. The fact that they’re different spellings is, of course, immaterial, since we know he only looks at pages with pictures on them.

Justin has a lot to atone for, but ‘Dick in a Box’ made up for quite a bit...
