i'm just learning to master that oblique british form of "humour," wry self-deprecation; after that crash course, my syllabus has me scheduled to acquire the subtleties of benny hill and then "absolutely fabulous." :blink:

I cant pay for everyone now can I? In the the 90's maybe I would have but not now...Im buying Mr. Regime because I thought that that would be a very cool thing to do and he reminds me of myself in a way... I enjoy being generous to those in need...but you are not, right? So, get your ass to Chicago and Ill buy the drinks and you can crash at my place! :biggrin:

oh boy...

first off you're always invited here, of course

but, that doesnt mean I pay for you to fly out, take a limo to my house and treat yout to Charlie Trotters. CT runs around $300 a person and perhaps i will someday pay for you, most likely some day, but I can't say I will for sure soon. Anyway, its usually more fun when you pay for yourself. ok, maybe not. :laugh:

Okay I fly myself out... and you pick me up and treat me to CT and 3 other restaurants of my choice. :wink:

I shall do you that favor. :wink:

suvir: you should just hit the dog tracks. a lot. then you treat all of us to trotter's for a second and third night and maybe trio too.

awbrig: even if i don't convert to the trotter camp (of which i'm already a closeted member), i'll probably jump ship and join the awbrig brigade. anyone who takes me charlie trotter's is immortalized in my book. and a sidenote: i don't think absolutely fabulous goes over well anywhere.

When was the first time you ate at CT, Awbrig?

Do you remember your first meal?

How was it?

Did you know the chef then?

Has the experience gotten better ever since you developed a relationship with the chef?

wow, i love the cold war intensity to these playful negotiations, but maybe that's because i'm procrastinating writing my last paper of the semester, which is on the gorbachev's complicity in covering up stalin's atrocities during early 1985.
