you spent how much?

Good friend of mine went on a blind date this week. He made reservations at one of his regular date spots, cost is around $90 for two (including wine), plus easy to get a table on a Wednesday. So he meets the girl, takes her to the spot, and there's no menus. Odd, he says.

Waiter says: thanks for coming on our special 6 course chef's tasting menu night. Prepare for a delicious feast!
He says, Bring me your finest meats and cheeses! no he didn't. he said: errm, ahh, sure, great?!?

Tasting menu commences. He overeats, food is good but not great, whatever. Bill comes out. It's $125 per person.
Tax and tip, comes to $280. For a dinner for 2. on a blind date. He could have bought a wii for that kind of money.

As for the date, the girl is very keen to go out again. Him, not so much.

you have three kids!

had to kick einstein and oppenheimer off the top of the page and get back to what we do best here at GJAW: pander to the lowest common denominator.

In case you weren't paying attention, it was a crazy busy week over there at NASA. Bizarre love triangles, attempted kidnappings, pepper spray, and diapers all figured in one of those truth-is-stranger-than-whatever-crazy-shit-i-could-invent stories from CNN. and msnbc. and all the other news outlets.

The delusional woman in the photo has three kids and is married. but she got a little carried away in an affair and lost the plot. So she went on a revenge mission. She drove 800 miles from Texas to Florida, but she wore diapers so she wouldn't have to stop along the way for anything but gas. And crazy pills.

This would be funny if it weren't so sad.
