I like to make these bitches as timely and topical as possible. As such, today I’m wondering, “What will Mark Foley be eating in rehab?” “What are the Supreme Court Justices having today, on their first day back?” “What does the possible NYC trans-fat ban mean to our lunching brethren in the Big Apple?” “What are my 4-0 Baltimore Ravens having for lunch today?” “What did Anna Nicole and her lawyer/baby-daddy/rumored-new husband eat at their wedding?”
Today is October 2 and it’s yet another perfect fall day here in our nation’s capital. If I could walk, I would go take an afternoon constitutional. Instead I’m actually going to work on my resume and get this whole “job search” business underway. For lunch, I’m not quite sure. I woke up sort of late this morning, so I’m not really hungry. I kind of want pancakes though, and I think there are a couple of rotting bananas left in that fucking fruit basket.
I’d also like to give special love and thanks to Lady A, and er, Lord A for taking me to the hospital on Friday night. People – if you ever have to go to the ER, bring Lady A. (do not however call Jo to bring you burgers from Five Guys, as he will not, and will in fact try to talk you out of even wanting them) But Lady A came equipped with snacks and travel Scrabble. She rocks.
So, what do you think folks in the news are having for lunch today? What are you having for lunch today? Might any of you be lunching with folks in the news?

Very very hungry.
Heading to either High Noon or Soho.
I wonder what Don Rumsfeld is having for lunch today?
When you can get Laura Bush to hate you, you are playing on a whole other level.
I have met Mark Foley on several occasions through work. He was a cool guy, real funny... huge cock, you should see my emails.
Just kidding, but he was a cool guy and he represented the area in Florida where my sister lived on the beach.
I think he would probably be eating Thai food with shrimp in it. Yeah he's in rehab, but he's a congressman. They don't fuck around.
Lunch today will be by the pound at SoHo with Lady Sunshine. I am pretty excited about that.
They have "making learing sexual advances at 15-year old boys" rehab?
Wow.
Better not serve any of Lady A's ass cakes at that place. That would be the equivelant of running naked backwards through a corn field.
Roger Clemens is having a "protein" shake. I knew he was a cheater. G-U-I-L-T-Y! 100%
I'm hungry, too. I was thinking that a two char dog special would be a great way to celebrate my two fantasy baseball league victories, but I don't know if I feel like that today. A wreck sounds good. Damn good.
Hmmm. I don't know no famous people. Well, I guess HT's famous in certain circles . . . in Hungary . . . . And I'm not having lunch with her today anyways. Tomorrow, I am eating with a rare speciman, though - a 32 year old Mormon who is a) divorced & on husband #2 & b) having her first kid. At 32!!! She should be famous.
Lunch today = carolina gumbo from Georgia Brown's. I encourage all DC OWFLers to hit GA Brown's for the Sunday brunch, if you haven't been. It includes a huge buffet (w/desserts!) and an entree that they will gladly wrap up for you after you've stuffed yourself on the buffet. So I hadn't even tasted the gumbo yesterday and I'm pleased to report it is spectacular. It's also huge, and I didn't mean to eat the whole thing, but I probably will (I'm about 1/2 way through - ate breakfast again, so I was starving at 10:30, so I started eating about 1/4 to 12. Oink.). And wow. Yum. Got a kick to it. Good stuff!
harleyq you can flip a coin on tonight's game.
And we will be picking up cheesesteaks AND hoagies this weekend in Philly.
Jo, can you bring me back a cheesesteak? No need to refrigerate it...
I like the idea of what the Justices are eating for lunch today. I have lots of colleagues who have eaten countless lunches in the cafeteria under the Supreme Court, but I find it tough to picture the Justices filing down there to get some mac and cheese. I picture them eating ambrosia and drinking the finest mead from jewel-encrusted goblets. In reality, I bet they are sitting around the basketball hoop up on the roof eating from bolgna sandwiches from brown bags.
I would like to thank ht for the courtesy of not mentioning my failure on Friday night to be able to locate the second-most ubiquitous commercial entity in the world (behind Coca-Cola) in order to make good on my offer of showing up with McNuggets. That would have been embarrassing.
Speaking of Foley in rehab, I don't think it is any big secret that I have pursued an intimate relationship with alcohol since time immemorial and, yes, if my behavior for the past two months is any indication, perhaps I have developed a chemical dependency; however, I have never had to stoop so low as to imply that my latent alcoholism is the cause of my urge to type dirty to teenagers. That's an entirely separate hobby of mine.
Lunch today is leftover Chinese food again. Shrimp fried rice and hot and sour soup this time. Apparently, Chinese takeout is de rigeur when I'm in the middle of accepting the fact that I am need to change jobs again. On the bright side, I ordered from a new place last night (because I was in a different part of town), and I was pleasant surprised.
EQ - you get a pass on that because you never actually went to said establishment. Whereas the Czar was at 5 Guys. I know that had you ever made it to ThatPlace, you'd have brought us the cheeseburgers and mcnuggets.
santa fe chicken salad from corner bakery. scrumptious!
foley is having pb&j sandwiches with the crust cut off like when he was a little boy. in fact, as he eats it, he's imagining a 15 year old boy also eating it...and his cock.
oh wait, did i take that one too far???
there's only 4 people in the office today. it's oh so quiet.
Let's see how much abuse the czar takes over the "5 guys" incident before he decides wether or not to bring HT a cheesesteak next weekend...
Ummm...Jo...Ahem...
I think Lady A might want in on the cheesesteak action...
Ah, hot cheesesteak action.
I wonder if www.hotcheesesteakaction.com is taken.
Well, I'll be shitshagged!
Not only is www.hotcheesesteasaction.com available, but so is .us, .biz., .info, .net, AND .org!
I think I may have just stumbled on to my stupid, backwards way in to getting rich.
Lady A, HT - You guys up for a little posing before you polish off those sammiches?
Of course, my business plan would include spelling hotcheesesteakaction correctly.
Those are available, too.
hoagies are easier to transport.
Is hoagiehoes.com available?
I'd just like to say thanks to those of you (I think it was Jo, La Choi, and Lady A) who helped HT find my cat, Sir Whinesalot, this weekend. HT tells me that his whiny ways eventually led to his capture. I'll stop telling him to shush.
For lunch, I had a chicken salad sandwhich. I was just in Boston for my sister's wedding (which is why HT had Mr. Whinypants) and I'm having trouble getting back into work mode. While the wedding and all the surrounding hoopla were fun, they were by no means relaxing. I need a vacation to recover from my vacation!
Dang, you get out of the game for a couple of weeks and all of a sudden you're a rookie all over again.
I went to SoHo for lunck with the lady and FIrst off, it is no longer a SoHo, it's now a cornerstone cafe whatever. Same set up and food though so it ain't no biggie. But then I went for the mashed potatoes which I love, bt are murder on the by the pound budget. I'm a dummy rookie all over again.
Man, FOley's been set up. I just read the transcript of his alleged IM conversation and I gotta say, that whole thing looks scripted. It looks like what a textbook writer would publish as a realistic representation of how pedophiles operate on the internet. It's BS, He been Set up! The thing I don't get is that it's usually the republicans doing the dirty tricks, not being the victims of them.
mikeysunshine: what are you wearing?
Cool.
i know what lieberman is eating today... ugh.. you would think that a day off would be more pleasant than this... i never realized how much of my free time i spend eating (this probably explains my growing waist).. so today is yom kippur (52 confession booths crammed into one day).. yeah.. if i can just make it to sunset without eating, all my sins will be forgiven.. (no matter WHAT THEY ARE!) wikipedia says i'm not supposed to wash either but fuck them.. i think god likes his/her chosen people clean.. so yeah.. no lunch and i really want to eat.. if only for something to do..
i saw Cursive last night in manhattan and they were fucking unbelievable.. i dont know who chooses these opening bands though.. the frist one was a ratehr talented rock group that i could not stand (ladyfingers) i swear to god they sounded like vintage megadeath but with some cool syncopation.. then came Men Women and Children who i believe wanted to revive disco... fun dancy stuff but seriously...
disco?
ugh..
well cursive was amazing and they are doing a full US tour so i suggest you get your ass out there and see them..
so i guess i'll go back thinking about eating..
Banana Rum Pancakes and Bacon. 3:30 is approximately the perfect time to eat "breakfast".
Poor M. Due to the afore-mentioned sister's wedding, she was now able to take today off as a "religious holiday." But I'm pretty sure she had something (perhaps some leftover cake) for lunch. So she's headed to hell in several religions.
Ooooh, rum pancakes. That sounds almost as good as rum cake.
I love bacon. Bacon bacon bacon. I could never be a jew. Or a muslim.
turkey bacon?
ya mean "fakin' bacon"?
hey! this is like the best-meal-ever-after-almost-death thing...
kinda
so what do i eat for breaking fast?
i am goign to start making a list of all the shit im going to eat tonight..
chinese take out, a cheeseburger, a case of beer.. um..
help! what else shoudl i make? i gigure i can start cooking like an hour before sundown so i can make somethign rather elaborate! yay! ideas anyone?
miso: i bought a really nice (by ikea standards) futon this weekend.. now you dont have to sleep on that leaky airmattress!
Wait, M - are you allowed to eat a cheeseburger? Isn't there some thing about cheeses touching meats?
yeah.. especially when its a bacon cheeseburger (if you add shellfish its a sexy anti-jew trifecta... but like i said.. my sins are cleared.. may as well get started on reaccumulating them..
Wow M... you just reminded me of my favorite cheeseburger in Annapolis - it's got lump crab on it. Anyone up for a roadtrip to Naptown tonight?
oh my god that burger sounds amazing. i would totally be up for it . . . but i can't. must study. bleah.
so i decided on chicken chilli, partially after our conversation the other day and the taste was put in my mind.. also.. it takes like 3 hours to make so i coudl start it early and build up that anticipation...
i'm amped.. i htink i'll have buffalo chicken fingers too and i found a bottle of vodka..
mmm
