Personally, I prefer personal peace to public pettiness.

I’ve lived about 20 minutes from there for most of my life...and have only been there once, and that was a work luncheon. I think it’s the ultimate niche restaurant. Like, unless you’re into golf and/or really into the Caddyshack movies, it’s not all that.

I dunno. That’s a racial slur about Italian people, so I’m not sure what you’re saying.

Oh, yeah. I know you probably have some stories...

Ok...what did the guy eat? I don’t see that in any of the articles.

Though not Italian himself, he married into the DeGidio clan and presides over a restaurant that counts Hot Dagos among its most popular menu items. “[Italian-Americans in St. Paul] just grew up with it—they would call wines “dago…

Not only does my guy drop them onto his eyes when they’re turned on, they also change the view from the familiar green-hued night vision to the clearer black-and-white featured in more recent Splinter Cell games.

Meh. It was just a commercial. I usually try to mute them, because they seem so much louder than the shows. Sadly, I was slow on the draw.

Rhapsody would be an action game fueled by music. Maybe instead of being set in Berlin, it’d be in San Francisco.
