LA CHOI LUNCH SURVEY #1

Yes, folks, it’s the first ever OWFL lunch survey!!! I know we’ve done online polling type surveys in the past but this one is different. This is more qualitative in nature and is supposed to elicit your deepest, darkest, most intimate thoughts on all things lunch.

Let me begin by saying that I cannot take credit for this idea. I have some college friends that administer a similar type of survey so that we can periodically keep in touch. And since the OWFL-ers are spread out across this great United States, I figured that I would experiment by replicating a great idea. Besides, don’t you think it is about time we asked some provocative questions that really tells us something about each other? I do.

OK, now please remember to answer the questions honestly and in the context of lunch. Let the fun begin!

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?

11. WFL today?

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love? Salami & olives

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.) It was with this tiny guy (seriously, I probably outweighed him by at least 25 pounds) & we got gyros (at least the food was good) & he talked so much that I was done before he was half done & I had to sit there & try to talk over him so he would finish & I could get out of there before 3pm.

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why? SUSHI!!!!!!!! B/C IT'S SUSHI!!!!!!!!

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)? Mmmm, Chez Liz & it would have this tempura-fried shrimp roll with special sauce I used to get in Bermuda. Also, banana fritters for dessert & my two pasta specialties - chicken puttanesca & cannaloni (ooh, sp?)

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year? Rico (caveat: I have not met Peep, Dipso, Diz, or Miu yet)

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there? SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be? I came, I saw, I lunched.

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer. Uuuuuum. Rico, really, what's the problem with chicks & sloppy burritos?

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet? Depends on the mood.

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win? Jo or me. Oink.

11. WFL today? Not sure, but it better be healthy. I'm a pig.

Oh, and for the record, Snakes on a Plane was the best movie I've seen this year. It was so awesomely bad. Everyone should see it.

Steak, I know its weird but true.

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)
Never had one, but I can imagine it was like the lunches that we have when a fellow co-worker noone likes invites themselves to our group lunch ... and then tries to be funny

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?
Money biatch! I'd be like Scrooge McDuck. I'd totally invite everyone over to my money pool.

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?
Nobu's ... hehe .. j/k howeverI'd probably call it Hyde's and serve small plates (including stuff like fondue and sushi ... together) mostly experimental stuff with really good martinis served out of a chemistry set looking thing .. I'd bring drinks in beakers

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?
Me

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?
Interrupting coW ... MOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?
It would sound like an Adam Sandler ballad .. something with a really bad joke in it about asses, titties, and cake: "Its ... OWFL come sit a spell. Tell us about your lunch .. we don't got know hunch. OH! TITTY CAKES!!! TIIIIIIIITTY CAAAAKES!!!

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?
Neither, juicy!

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?
Spam Kitty

11. WFL today?
I'm thinking Potbellie's

Lady A said...

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?

Eggs, I didn't so much hate them they just kinda freaked me out after a 4th grade project of hatching chicks...but now I'm all about the runny egg!

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)

I can't recall any lunch dates, but the worst would be with some dude who only ordered a salad w/the dressing on the side and a water with lemon. (OR being taken to an irish bar for mexican food)

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?

Loaded Five Guys burgers because the next time I get ditched by Jo and HT I can just walk out to my tree and eat alone in the comfort of its protecting boughs.

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?

Do you guys really want me to answer this one?? It really could take me all day...I only have a "few" ideas that I've thought about...

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?

I think if someone DOESN'T make an "ass-of-self" at the conference, then we did something way wrong.

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?

GO BANANA!

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?

The "Twelve Days of Lunchmas" of course! But I am likin' Diz's direction!!

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.

Who here hasn't eaten any of LT's muff??

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?

Savory and then sweet.

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?

MikeySunshine if it were an eating contest of who can eat the most cheesy poofs with chopsticks.

11. WFL today?

Salad w/dressing on the side and water w/lemon...

Heliocentric said...

1. I hated green things and stuff from the sea. I now love broccoli and think shrimp is god's gift to people. Sushi is also something that I learned to love.

2.Worst lunch date took place while working with a student conference. We went 'off the map' so we could get some adult food and after we order stodents walk in. The food is late, her vegetarian dish has pork in it, they charged for every soft drink, no free refills. There were problems galore.

3. I would have to go with nourishing food paste from space. SOme good for you balanced meal in a paste form that you can do anything with, cook it like steak, eat it raw like sushi, bake it into a cake, stir fry it with veggies... MMM, Space food.

4. El Ultim0 Dragon. I would serve Mexican and Asian food. Try my won ton Nachos, and my Burrito spring roll. Enjoy the General Sanchez Chicken, and the Hunan Enchiladas. At the end of your meal choose from fortune cookie or a whack at the pinata.

5. I'd be disapointed if you could point to one person who makes the biggest ass. It should be a team effort and all should be asses.

6. Pea green soup
Pea green soup - who?
Whoever eats at El Ultimo Dragon, that's who.

7. It would be an original rap... by Corey Feldman. I'll bet he's not busy and would do it on the cheap.

8. DOes anybody really do any work around here?

9. crunchy, salty, chips and the like.

10. Massive dlets. Seems like the only one with a rigorous work out regimen. Probably needs calories to burn.

11. I'm thinking chain restruant of some caliber.

Jada said...

I'm a sucker for surveys, so I love this.

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?

Cheese. I would even pick off the cheese on pizza. Now of course I love gooey melty cheese, but I still cannot abide anything with blue veins.

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)

When The Ex and I were going through a divorce we decided to meet for lunch and discuss some things. We went to a Japanese place and I ordered an absurd amount of sushi. We fought the entire time and I got so sick to my stomach I ended up throwing up all the sushi afterwards. Sushi revisted is vile.

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?

Candy! All types, but chewy, rip your teeth out, fruity candy in abundance.

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?

I would serve homey comfort food: roast chicken, mashed potatoes, chicken soup, the perfect grilled cheese, bread pudding.

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?

Rico, fo' sho. And I will love every minute of it. It would be totally great though if Miu turns out to be a party animal.

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?

The hottest girl in the airport bar.

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?

What's For Lunch, motherfucker?

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.

When am I going to get the f'in reciper for tity cakes from Uni? WTF?

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?

Salty.

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?

Jo, fo' sho.

11. WFL today?

No clue, but something light. Maybe fruit salad and yogurt.

Unknown said...

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?
lima beans...i love all kinds of beans now, to the detriment of all around me, of course.

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)
my ex and i decided to meet up for the first time since we broke up at a pub down the street from where i used to work. he burned me a fucking alison kraus cd b/c he thought i'd like it, which then made me start to cry over my hamburger. i couldn't taste my food b/c i was so blubbery. i have no idea where that damn cd is, but i should throw it away.

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?
i am with diz in that it would be money so i could buy myself lunch everyday instead of bringing a sack lunch b/c i'm poor!

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?
it would be called "cafe la choi" and serve korean/american fusion foods like a kalbi sandwich with spicy mayo and a side of kimchi. i'd also have some killer ramen pumped up with hard boiled eggs, julienne carrots, scallions, some fish cake (don't knock it until you try it), and red pepper flake.

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?
my guess is horsecock or myself. i tend to make an ass-of-self quite often while intoxicated and full of good food in my tum.

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?
lunch. lunch who? aren't you going to say orange? oh wait...i think i mixed up another joke in there somehow...oh well.

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?
it would be that sir mix-a-lot song "baby got back" but instead would be "baby got lunch"

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.
czar, what IS the deal with your mayo obsession?

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?
i always prefer savory.

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?
since i did win one once, i'd have to say myself since no one would expect it. in fact, i would even throw up in the middle of the contest to ingest more. disgusting you say? i say it's just my competitive spirit.

11. WFL today?
turkey sammie and swiss again...it's going to be this all week long.

thanks for playin' guys!!!! i'm loving the answers so far.

Josephus said...

1. I wasn't a fan of brussel sprouts or peaches. I like them both now.

2. I can only remember going on two lunch dates. Of the two, the "worst" one was at Blue Coyote in Lansing. Why? Because I don't think she had ever eaten in a restaraunt that had cloth napkins before. I think I've told this story.

3. A "VB" tree. Just kidding, probably a workout tree. That way I could eat myself back into shape.

4. I would open a deli/bar called "Eat At Josephus'". The special would be a regional specialty sandwich and would alternate each week.

5. Miu after the third jager shot.

6. "eleven." "eleven who?" "Laurie put Eleven posts in one today."

7. "Hail to the Czar" (sung to the tune of Hail to the Chief) and the "Jovessel" song.

8. harleyq, which of my xbox games do you have?

9. savory

10. rico

11. not sure yet, but it will be eaten in my office.

Unknown said...

there you go, jo, breaking anonymity!!!!!! shame on you.

Josephus said...

D'OH!!!!

I am administering 30 lashes to myself as we speak.

"THANK YOU CZAR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!!"

But seriously, it's hard to keep track of your names...

dizkonekdid said...

BTW .. my restaurant would totally have Karaoke. You'd have to down at least one shot when "on deck" for the next song ... "on deck" would be you on the stage dancing to the other person singing ... just so the other person singing would know at least one person is listening.

Point scoring and sportsmanship would totally be figured in.

Jada said...

Anonymity breach by the Czar!

Josephus said...

la gigglekitty

Lady A said...

Oh jeez, I suck...and not in the terms of sucking it down...I just suck. I swear I'll get that recipe up.

Lady A said...

AND yes Harleyq I would love to make you cake for your birthday!

I am currently scheduled to make two ass cakes this month for birthdays...actually I have to make one tonight! I may have to change one of those ass cakes to a set of boobies though.

m said...

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?
calamari. something about fried squid has become rather apealling as i've grown old and wrinkly
2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)
it started off really well, the girl was hot and friendly. i paid for lunch and i think she was appreciative because then we mated. Then she bit off my head and i died.
okay, that's not a real one i have had, but if i ever become a praying mantis, that's totally what it will be like

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?
cigarettes. between eating the leaves and smoking the cigarettes i could live forever.
4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?
Ding Dong Ho Hos - i had this idea a long time ago to make a restaurant that served only commercial snacks and snack cakes like ding dongs and ho hos and twinkies and cheezits... there would have to be no refridgeration or prep area.. the kitchiness of it would be its draw..
5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?
Miu is the only one i know. I don't think she will make an ass of herself unless she is fed too much jager
6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?
F*ck, a jehovahs witness
7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?
i haven't been here long enough... it would probably involve unhealthy food obsessions and a midgit though
8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.
Are you really a ninja?
9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?
Salty
10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?
um. you [points vaguely to his left]
11. WFL today?
Tea and Doritos

m said...

peep: bad choice. miu is an asskicker... she left jersey and me with bite marks, a dozen bruises, mild alcohol poisoning and a limp.

Earthquake said...

Great idea, although this is totally cutting in to my MySpace survey time today.

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?
Mushrooms. I wouldn't touch them back in the day. I would fast rather than eat a pizza that had even had mushrooms on them. Now, I've been known to put them wherever I can. (Yes. There, too.)

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)
I don't know that it was properly a lunch date. It was with my boss's new boss and my boss. He was a short, fat, creepy little man who used that lunch time to tell me (while my boss was away from the table) that he was gay. I don't mind the inappropriate disclosure or the gray-area sexual harrassment so much, but he went on (after she returned) to tell me about his amputee niece and his doctorate in divinity (from an online university, as I discovered later). Not surprisingly, he went on to prove himself a notorious liar and got fired about 2 months after he should have been fired. The ONLY thing that could have made that lunch worse was if he hadn't picked up the check.

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?
Anytime minutes.

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?
The name of my restaurant would be Complaint Department. There are two signature menu items. One of them is named Marco Pollo: not sure of the recipe, but I'm pretty sure it has chicken in it. The other signature item is The Breakfast Special: six shots of tequila.

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?
Apparently, me, in absentia. (stupid, stupid!)

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?
"...it's five dollars. The same as in town!"

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?
I would like to get Tom Waits to lay down a track for our theme.

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.
How many cities are represented in this wide-ranging group of regulars?

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?
I tend to go savory and then sweet, particularly while driving long distances. Those selections tend to run in trends, too. When I was living the long-distance relationship dream and driving back and forth between Atlanta and Nashville, I was on a Funyuns, Butterfinger, and Mountain Dew kick. My first cross-country trip was beef jerky, orange Hostess cupcakes, and strawberry soda. This last little DC-ATL-CHI triangle was pretty much just water and Nutter Butters.

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?
Are we envisioning a contest with doping restrictions? Because the answer to that changes my answer.

11. WFL today?
I have a sausage sandwich. It's some sort of chicken sausage with portabello mushrooms (see Answer #1) with cheddar on double-wheat. Accompanying carrots and pretzels.

GimletGirl said...

1. Eggplant--I think it was more a texture thing than a taste thing, and now I love it.
2. Worst lunch date--In college while interning, though it didn't start out as a lunch date. What I thought was just a friendly get-together btwn co-workers took a sudden turn with a hand on my thigh. I was so startled I knocked over my drink, breaking the glass on the floor and causing a huge scene!
3. Cheese. Cheese of all kinds (hopefully growing next to a river of wine).
4. I've actually put a lot of thought into it. It would be called "The Summer House," inspired by my mom's parents' home and decorated in a cozy cluttered way w/ lots of family pictures and mementos and reminiscent of their home. The menu would be comfort food, mostly American, and change w/ the seasons. Therefore, two specials, both inspired by my dad's parents. In the summer time, my Nanny's famous sugar cakes (lemony, soft, giant sugar cookies) served up shortcake style w/ homemade vanilla icecream and whatever fruit is freshest that week. In the winter, Nanny's famous chicken pot pie.
5. I have no idea, but I think I speak for all the lurkers and occassional commenters when I say: Recap Please!
6. Lunch Break!
7. The Beatles' "All You Need is Love" but, instead, "All You Need is Lunch."
8. Spam Kitty: Why Wookie? You're tiny and not at all hairy, so I know there has to be a story.
9. Sweet
10. Jo.
11. I'm about to go pick something up, so I'm not sure yet, but I'm thinking sushi.

The Doctor said...

So much for having a productive day…
1. There are many. I was pretty picky as a child. I’d have to say # 1 is tomatoes.

2. I went on a lunch/study date with this really cute girl in college – I was very proud of myself for having screwed up the courage to ask her out, and rather dumbstruck that she accepted. I was so nervous, and in retrospect I think she might have been, too. I was just so taken by her cuteness – got totally tongue-tied, the little conversation we had was so awkward. I just wanted to get the hell out of there. Crash and burn. Never tried to see her again. The story gets worse…but I’m not going to recall it…too painfull.

3. If you mean food, I’ll say bacon-wrapped lobster-knuckle meat macadamia nut nuggets.

4. Skirt steak and eggs with potatoes and a small side of silver dollar blueberry pancakes, coffee, and spicy bloody mary with a house ale back.

5. Horsecock, without any shadow of a doubt.

6. Banana.

7. Suicide Is Lunchless

8. Peep, I’ve been dying to know, are you going to Oostberg this weekend?

9. 99% savory, but when that sweet urge kicks in, you do not want to be a peanut m&m within my reach.

10. Josephus, without any shadow of a doubt.

11. I have no idea. I’m generally hungry, but have no craving. I think I’ll hit one of the gourmet buffets and see what happens.

Unknown said...

to answer diz's question, no...the ass is purely fine korean genetics. mostly from my dad's side, though i didn't inherent the boobs since that is the side that also had them. damn!

i change my answer the #3 to coffee...if i had coffee, i'd never be hungry, be skinny, and feel like i was invincible.

Josephus said...

dippy, describe the the opening to the OWFL sit-com.

I always had a crush on the nurse in the front...

Josephus said...

mayo rocks LT.

And I should've beaten peep down in a much more memorable fashion. He got off way too easy.
Maybe we can re-enact it at the conference.

The Doctor said...

I know the nurse of which you speak. I really don't have time to do a shot by shot story board of the intro right now...unfortunately. Spam Kitty!! This post has zapped my entire morning!

My restaurant's name is "Birdy's," by the way. It's only open from 7 - 12, closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

You're still #1, peep! Awwwww.

The Doctor said...

L*U*N*C*H

Just use your imagination...

Josephus said...

Welcome tease!

You seem awfully familiar...

Hey where's miu today?

HaterTot said...

1. What is the one food that you hated as a child but now you love?

I wasn’t allowed to hate anything as a kid. I used to eat everything. I used to love calve’s liver and onions, and it makes me nauseous now – it’s a texture issue. Oh, I hated bacon for many, many years, but now I love it.

2. Describe the worst lunch date you’ve ever had. (If you’ve never had a lunch date, then make up what you THINK would be the worst lunch date ever.)

Lunch dates are dumb. Seriously, who goes on lunch dates? Who has time for that shit during the day? And then you have to go back to the office, which sucks either way. If it was good, you’ll be all daydreamy and if it sucked, you’ll be all cranky. Bad idea.

3. You discover a magical tree that only you have access to, and it can grow an unlimited amount of only ONE item of your choosing. What would it be and why?

I’m with the cash money people, but since I’m a little fancy, I’ll say my tree will grow diamonds. Which are as good as cash, but prettier.

4. If you were to open up your own restaurant, what would it be called and what would be its signature dish(es)?

I don’t have time for this now. But, I don’t see myself opening a restaurant – I don’t have the follow through or execution for that sort of thing.

5. Who do you think will make the biggest “ass-of-self” at the OWFL Chicago Conference this year?

Me. Possibly Rico.

6. Finish this joke: Knock, knock. Who’s there?

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!

7. If you could write a song or choose a motto that embodies OWFL, what would it be?

Eat me.

8. Got a question that you've been dying to ask someone in this group? Go ahead and ask it now. Maybe you'll get an answer.

I reserve the right to save this for the conference, or the conference aftershow.

9. Snacking preference: savory or sweet?

Savory.

10. In an all out eating contest, which OWFL-er do you think would win?

Spam Kitty or Jo.

11. WFL today?

Somewhat disappointing. Went to Jo’s Best Sandwich Place between meetings and got the Muenster Club. They were really confused when I said, “I’d like the Muenster Club, but with Swiss instead – everything else, the same.” Then, they didn’t toast the bread – and maybe it’s just me, but I just assume on a club, the bread is toasted. The turkey was good enough, but the whole thing was pretty bland. But, I’m way too busy today to care.

On that note… meeting!

LizTurtle said...

I just had a very disappointing lunch. A new chinese place opened up around the corner, so instead of being healthy, I went there. I ordered the Singapore-style rice noodles with pork & chicken extra spicy. She said the Singapore-style (v. the Taiwanese-style) had curry in it. What I got: yellow rice noodles, slightly salty, no curry flavour, no heat, beef and shrimp. WTF?!?!? Is it opposite day or something?? My plan is to take the rest home & make a real sauce to put on it, b/c the beef & shrimp was fine, just not enough of it & the rest was bland. Oh, and that sauce will be HOT, motherfucker!!

The Doctor said...

If there were stats for lunching, I'd credit you with a "save," LT. Nice work.

LizTurtle said...

thanks dipso! check back in tomorrow, though, to see if it really is a save or if it's just an experiment that became a disaster. Sigh!

m said...

A coworked just returned from lunch and said that she had banana fried eggs. when they did not taste pleasant she added ketchup. Being a group of people dedicated to lunch, is this a viable lunch or should she be put to sleep?

Heliocentric said...

Ketchup + eggs = acceptable
Ketchup + anything bannana = Gross & wrong
Ketchup + Bannana-eggs = Half decent, half wrong. 50% = F -

I think that person should be put to sleep.

Lunch today was indeed from a chain restruant. It is so rare that i mention what I'm thinking about having for lunch and I actually follow through. perhaps I should just keep it vague.

Went to Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza and I had neither Pizza nor Brick. Meatball Paninni, and bottomless bread & salad.

Josephus said...

Had sushi with my boss and co-worker.
Eh...

m, it was a cry for help.
Your co-worker is going through a very serious and troubling time. Take her aside and try to help her before she does something truly damaging to herself like ordering "extra yellow mustard" or eating rhubarb.

Josephus said...

well tease, I mean miu, I think m's lunch choice of "tea and doritos" doesn't give us enough information with which to analyze him.

Are we talking chai? Arizona Iced? And is he eating cool ranch?

There's just too little to go on.

m said...

actually Tazo Chai Tea with Honey (4 Tbsp) and Straight Nacho Doritos, no ice.

I disagree with Mikey. Bananas are good. But not with eggs. Fried bananas ok, fried eggs ok, fried banana-eggs, not ok. What the hell is that anyway? I'm not a fan of ketchup on fried eggs either.

I'm hungry. Those noodles looked oily, but they didn't fill me up. So sad.

i count that jo has 8 votes for winning an all out eating contest. other mentions: rico and me. should we seriously put our money where our mouths are???? (i may live to regret this challenge, but i had to put it out there.)

Josephus said...

m, the four spoonfuls of honey and the capitalization of "Straight" have my lunch analysis pointed in one particular direction so far...

I hate to say it but I will not be winning any eating contests. If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve...

Chubby Bunny contest

LizTurtle said...

Oooh, where I come from, we call it Fluffy Bunny. Or Fuzzy Bunny.

Lady A said...

But you don't become fluffy or fuzzy...definitely chubby!

Josephus said...

a fluffing contest?
wha?

The Doctor said...

There was a big chubby bunny wrongful death case against an elementary school in the burbs here a few months ago.

I had chicken marsala and artichoke, pepperoni, salami, fresh mozzerela and olive salad. It was good.

LizTurtle said...

Ah, this is true. But it's really hard to make the 'z' sound when your cheeks are full. In college we tried to be all fancified & had a wine & cheese party in our dorm - everyone dressed up & came out for it & I have pictures of everyone in their ties & sundresses - cheeks filled out waiting for their turn. Claaaasss-y!

Jo, you wish. (Hm, I'm sure there's a fluffing chubby joke in there somewhere...)

Dipso, that's so sad. And wrong. The worst thing that should ever happen playing Fluffy/Fuzzy/Chubby Bunny is that you vomit & can never eat marshmallows again. Or you drool sugar-juice down the front of your shirt & on the couch.

Am I the only person who has no effing idea what the hell yinz are talking about????

Lady A said...

But HT if I tell you now you'll insist on using peeps...and that's just gross!
