so, what kind of lunch spread would everyone like to see at peep and miso's wedding??
P.S: Thanks to all of OWFL for all of the teasing, the advice, the trying to sneak up and take pictures of us kissing but missing and getting the plant instead, and the love (yes HT, thats LOVE)...
love you guys, miso & peep!
ok, enough with the mush...WFL?

Congratulations, miso and peep! Many happy lunches together.
I have sneaking suspicion that I feel today much like I would feel on the morning of a wedding (which is to say, the morning after the night before a wedding), thereby transforming this question (for me, at least) in to: what kind of lunch spread do you like to see when you drank entirely too much and ate entirely too little the night before?
The answer: same as peep's, except with more coffee as a foundation.
Has anyone figured out a way to install a breathalyzer switch on a phone?
PS - I'm not allowed to play with Jo on school nights anymore. Well, at least not this week.
Awww
It is touching to see our little community becoming a family.
Huzzah to the new couple.... no. 3 Huzzahs for the new couple!
I added a picture to the post...
Hmm. Thanks for the heads-up, miso, but that requires entirely too much forethought. Besides, I have a little bit of a texting problem lately. At least, it gives me something to talk about at the office.
First conversation I had with my boss this morning:
CoWorker: "Jesus, Earthquake, you look great this morning."
Earthquake: "And, I only look half as good as I feel."
CW: "What'd you do last night?"
Eq: "What do you think I did last night?"
CW: "Where did you go?"
Eq: "Atlantic City."
Boss: "You went to Atlantic City last night?"
Eq: "No, but it would be a better explanation for how I feel."
worry not Quake. I didn't even go anywhere last night and I'm nursing an achy head today. I did enjoy having the sierra nevada in the living room, and I have to give out mad props to me and cornfeld; whoopping up on the CHUDS in spades too.
Once again, I'll remind peeP that his first reaction to the blog was "that's so dumb."
To the happy couple:
Congratulations!
Best Wishes!
Good Luck!
(Post your post as a comment, Josephus. I liked it.)
We have our holiday, fuck that, CHRISTMAS party at the espn.zone today. I mean, come on, we've got two jews and one indian woman and I don't know what she is. The rest of us are regular people or gay. Oh, no wait, there's that pakistani IT guy -- but he was trying to rub my back at last year's party, so I'll lump him with the regulars and gays. Anyway, lunch will be served and I know there's a filet mignon on the menu. Then we have three hours of open bar and unlimited gaming. I see plenty of air hockey in my future.
Congrats to Miso and Peep! May the wind at your back always be your own.
I love air hockey!!!! I want to go to Dipso's office party!!
Per Dipso's request here is the text of the post that would have run today...
You know, lunch really isn't that big a deal.
It's just a meal right?
People eat it everyday, or they don't: life goes on regardless.
I mean no one really cares that much about lunch anyway, right?
It's kind of silly of us to sit around talking about it.
In the grand scheme of things, it's just not that important.
I feel the same way about love.
Silly man-made concept.
Can't really be defined.
We have just created the idea so we can fulfill some other society-created need to not be alone.
It's stupid.
Gay even.
Which makes marriage an even sillier thing.
I mean if love is just a made-up thing, marriage is even more guilty of being a man-made social construct. It serves no real purpose except to perpetuate the silly notion that we need to have some strange approval from our “government” or “religion” of our lifestyle.
Silly. Stupid. Gay.
And certainly not a big deal.
Yet, we show up here every day or so and discuss lunch.
We foolishly continue to fall in and out of love.
And when we really let ourselves go, we even get married.
All of these things are so not a big deal and really, really gay. (But not gay married.)
So it is my duty (not pleasure) to announce, without any gay fanfare, that two of our silly, stupid, lunch-blogging lot have not only fallen in love, but have decided to have a not-a-big-deal marriage as well.
Whatever.
For those of you who haven't heard, Peep and Miso are getting married.
I guess we congratulate you. I guess we're okay with the fact that the blog brought you two together, and I'm sure we couldn't care less, but I suppose we wish you a decent future.
Or something like that.
Everyone please feel free, if you even give a hoot, to say something gay to the happy couple in this very special post that really isn't that big of a deal. And tell us what you'll be lunching on in celebration of their not-that-important news.
WFL, Peep & Miso?
We love you gay lunching fools.
earthquake remember how I told you I was feeling "pretty good" this morning?
Well my stomach just called me a liar.
orange juice on top of all that drinking equals very bad things.
Okay, OWFL - I need help.
I didn't eat anything yesterday. Not even some candy. I had 1/2 a Diet Coke, then went over to Shorty's and had red wine. Today, I am hungry, but I don't feel like eating, really. But, I'd like to go to the gym, so I should eat. But I don't know what to have.
Any suggestions?
thank the lord that it's finally out! congrats to the lunching lovebirds.
wow....marriage. so, like, are we all invited to the wedding? also, will it be during lunchtime?
Miso, you shut your love hole.
HT -- gatorade and perhaps a piece of toast and some kind of banana for stamina.
Jo: I just spent ten minutes sitting on the floor of the office bathroom wondering why my stomach insists on teetering on the edge of expelling its contents instead of just getting it over with.
I am not quite as "pretty good."
"Some kind of banana"? Are there myriad banana varieties out there of which I am unaware?
let me revise HT:
gatorade and perhaps a piece of toast and a banana for stamina.
does anyone want to go to breadline with me for lunch today? i feel like getting outside. this week has been hell.
"shut your love hole"?? Wow, that sounds like some good gay advice . . . in [fill in gay-unfriendly place - TX, KS, VA x Nova).
Aw, Jo, your post made me sniff a little!
Congrats to Miso & Peep! I will raise a glass to y'all tomorrow night!
Just checking, LC - I know you have a special relationship w/ the monkeys, so I thought perhaps you were aware of things I was not.
No go on bline - too far away. I'm not leaving the Hill today, unless it's to go to the gym, and that's even a "maybe" right now.
Instant, flavored oatmeal HT. That'll do you right. Easy to make, and eat, and it gives you good fuel for working out.
EQ, what usually works for me (caution, don't try this until you are actually within puking range of a toilet) is making a detailed list in my mind of what I drank the night before. BLEARGH!!!!!!
HT, definitely have a banana. Lots of sugar in those things for working out. Uh, and avoid dairy.
Man, Quake, you must be bad off... I mean, some guy is using your name on the radio. Your real name.
For the next 10 minutes Diane Rehme on NPR will be hosting a dude, who i have to assume stole your identity (perhaps he found your starter kit) He's calling mimself P--- R------, and claiming that he's some sort of editor of some Los Angeles Times or some such paper.
I know I've lost my cell phone several times, and my wallet while drinking, but never my identity.
aren't bananas radioactive or something?
It's Bananas!
B-ANANAS!!!
HT get yourself a braunschweiger sub.
I was watching this documentary on eating disorders, and I was really impressed with the bulimics' ability to simply hunch over the toilet, standing up and just puke. No gagging, or fingers down the throat necessary. EQ, you need some tips from those ladies.
Remember that problem I had with the combo of Dirty Mitts' urine and the old cat litter smelling like dead stuff? Well, I got new litter, and the combo smells like Herbal Fun.
I'm contemplating ordering a pizza, or going to Quizno's. Right now, ordering is in the lead, as it does not require me to leave my house.
ok, I can walk 2 - 3 blocks for lunch. What's the advice on lunch to help with a mild headache caused by a pint or two too many of the pale ale.
Note this is not a request for help with a hangover meal, it truly is a mild drinking headache; the kind that 1 advil or ____________for lunch would get rid of. What is ___________ folks?
ugh.. just got up... i prolly should call work and let them know.
congrats to PeSo (that's their tabloid name) i pray for their future cat infested house. (five??/ seriously...)
i went drinking last ngiht and quickly realized that it was half price martini night. after using my best puppydog eyes on the bartender he made me a special martini... a martini glass full of bourbon wiht a splash of clear creme de menth...you know what? it was fucking great.. i assume that is why i don't remember how many i had. ugh.. feeling like shit.
mau jsut left for the bagel store and i put in an order for a homemade meatnormus... i hope thats wfl
Man, all this hangover talk is giving me a headache. Sympathy pains!
Sunshine: you want an eggroll & lo mein.
sunshine - hamburger always does me right. something greasy and good helps with hangovers.
i like that new moniker, but i'd add an extra "e" to be juvenile: pee-so. get it? HA!
OK, so no one wants breadline with me? does ANYONE want to have lunch together today? desperate to get out of here for an hour.
Egg roll & lomein, or Hamburger. simple solutions. Thanks team. I'll get whichever one I pass first.
Ugh. I would come up & meet you lachoi, but I really don't want to go out in this crap-ass weather. Man, yesterday I totally would have been there. I slept with the window open! It was beautiful! Hey, did you ever figure out who the bastard was who threw out your mac & cheese?
EQ--You really should have had the grilled cheese last night. I'm feeling great, and heading off to pick up lunch for my office mates at Baja Fresh in a minute.
Congratulations Miso and Peep! For your wedding feast, you should definitely serve Quizno's Salads. Only to make them fancy and wedding-friendly, you could turn them into canapes/bruschetta, using bits of Quizno's Salad flatbread as the base and putting little piles of Quizno's salad on top.
Mmmmm . . . that sounds good, GG. If I didn't have leftover General Tsao's, I would totally be going out for a Quizno's Salad.
since no one wants to lunch with me, i ordered a massive grilled burrito from the well-dressed burrito. grilled steak, peppers, onions, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, guac, refrieds, and rice.
i will be one full, fat, la choi.
fat choi!
Thanks for all of the vomitary guidance, OWFLers. I am happy to report that it was unnecessary. While your advice was rolling in, I was going through the motions of successfully puking (inspired by little more than standing up too quickly and walking just fast enough to the bathroom), taking the elevator downstairs, and taking a nap.
Why do I put up with the bullshit traffic on my drive to work every day? Because I can't take a nap in the back seat of the Metro.
lt: Oddly enough, it's not so much a question of how much I drank or even what I drank. I had maybe 7 or 8 rather run-of-the-mill beers last night; however,
GG: You're absolutely right. I should have had a grilled cheese. Or anything.
Drinking like a rookie.
But, it's better than working.
earthquake I must say I am surprised at how bad you're feeling. all I I ate was a handful of fries and again I feel pretty good, if you don't count the sweating, the bowel discomfort, and the night terrors I visited upon the missus.
Pretty, pretty good.
For the record:
liverwirst and salami sub with swiss, lto and sweet peppers from Cap Grounds. Harvest cheddar sun chips on the side and a dragonfruit power-c vitamin water to drink.
Congrats guys ... I would have a fish plate with smoked salmon, white fish, white fish salad, salmon salad, pickled herring, etc
But hey, I'm jewish
Count me in the surprised boat, too. It would seem that my body is not sticking to its long-help policy of proportional response.
And, that fuckin' newspaper man from LA rolling around using my name isn't helping things.
Thinking about matzo ball soup from the deli across the street but dubious of my ability to procure it.
(I'm tempted to throw in the towel and go home, but that would violate my long-held policy of functioning alcoholism.)
phat choi!
Quake, good show.
We were talking in our staff meeting (bad business to pay the hourly fucking temp to sit around and not produce anything for an hour and a half, but what do I know? I'm just the fucking temp.)about the new term which is basically the opposite of absenteeism, they thought it was presentivism. But this is a bad thing because ill peole do not work so good, and they can spread their illness to other workers.
Way to go. Go to work and work even less than you do on a normal day. Youse your sick days when you feel good so you can enjoy them.
And if it helps you out any, the guy from the washington post who stole my real name and identity got blown up in Iraq. Perhaps the LA guy will get shot in a gang war or trampled at a shoe sale or something. I don't know what goes on in LA, but there has to be some sort of danger out there.
what's scary is that when i was out with EQ and jo last night, i had 6 or so vodka sodas and didn't feel drunk. i went home and made myself a giant bowl of rigatoni with garlic, oil, butter, parsley, salt, pepper, and grated parmesan. i shoveled that shit in so fast that i got insanely full. so when i woke up this morning, i had a carb hangover more than anything else.
and i was dehydrated as a muthafuckah.
finished the first half of the grilled steak burrito. will attack the second half at around 3pm. phat fat...it's all the same.
as someone from LA, i know what EQ's nemesis will die from...an EARTHQUAKE! that would be sweet divine karmic justice.
I was fittin' to follow the advice given. Lomein or burger, when I found myself in line at Baja Fresh. I guess while I was strolling about in a daze, my sub concious reasoned that I had china food 2 times this week already, and I had a burger days ago... and i guess it also remmebered that Baja Fresh is really close to where I'm kicking it now.
GOod call LC. Brilliant!
mikeysunshine, I've got an event for you: Tuesday, December 5th, Friends of Bob the Bravo Bravo Bartender Happy Hour. We will be drinking WITH Bob. Location TBD but probably will not be at Bravo Bravo. Mark your calendars.
COpy that.JO. email me the details and I will write up a post for the sidebar.
I fell asleep. But I'm awake now, and holy crap am I hungry. I ordered a ridiculous amount of food, which will take me all weekend to eat.
I really wish Well Dressed Burrito would magically appear at my door though. Wow, that would make me happy.
Let the heavens be praised and let huzzahs ring forth from every mouth!
I ate lunch, and, while it was not long enough ago to be certain it is staying down, indicators are promising.
I had aforementioned bowl of matzo ball and a half-sandwich of roast beef on sourdough with too many onions. And a good deli pickle.
Now, if I can just stop my head from punching itself in the junk...
happy days are here again
happy days are here again
dancing on a futon
rather than going to work
Yay free pizza & bread sticks!!! I haven't had the rest of my General Tsao's b/c a couple of people from another section came along & said "hey, we have leftover pizza from our staff meeting. Enjoy." And I did! Even though it was Pizza Slut. But that's ok, b/c it was free. Otherwise it would be Pizza Whore.
I'm almost done with this pack of gum, too, thank god. I have to finish it on principle. It's Extra 'Wildberry Fresh' or something. It tastes a little like the 'Tussin. Be forewarned before you get sucked in by it's promise of fun fruitiness.
Hm, I may have some General Tsao in a bit. Or maybe I'll take it home & have it for dinner. Hm.
Dang! I know this is off topic, but it closely matches the recent topic.
I just got lured to a meeting with the maintenence department by ice-cream cake. On the plus side, I found out that there is a baskin robbins / DUNKIN DONUTS! right down on 17th st in capital city. MMMMM DD coffee...
Drunk Driving coffee??
There is a rumour there is free cake on the other side of the office. I have to go to the bathroom, which is conveniently also on the other side of the office. What are the chances I come back without cake?
Turns out the odds were slim-to-none! And when I was walking back to my desk, this snot said "Still eating?" Like WTF is that supposed to mean, beyotch? I had lunch 2 1/2 hours ago and I haven't been eating since then, so 'still'? Fuck you! Argh! This is the lady who always has some comment, no matter the subject. Gah.
CONGRATS MISO AND PEEP...you f'ing devil birds!!! I hope you have your wedding catered by Hot Doug's!!!! And I want to throw the cheese/caramel chicago style popcorn at you instead of rice or bird seed...Oooh wait...and screaming flying bungee monkeys. And then we can all play cornhole at the reception!!! Whoop whoop!
Thanks NW! A pox on her house. Awesome. And you're totally wrong about the grasshoppers. I used to drink those all the time in high school. So good! Actually, that's a lie. They were one of the more expensive drinks (but not as expensive as a zombie), so I only got them on 2-for-1 nights. Mmmm. Man, I haven't had one of those in years. Even at a wedding.
Awesome no work to do = me leaving now! See some of y'all tomorrow!
Congrats again Peeso!
PEESo = PeeSoaked
Hey, PeeP, where does one get their hands on some of that fancy tonic water?
