In case you haven’t heard, our former governor, Jesse “A Certain Part of the Body” Ventura, says he’s considering running for Norm Coleman’s senate seat.
He’d given up after one term as governor. Because (apparently) he’d determined that Minnesotans could only endure so much political farce.
But then the Democrats nominated Al Franken. Which forced him to reconsider that assessment.
I went out to dinner this evening, with an old friend (I still have a couple) who’s going through a rough stretch.
We went to a steak place, a facility that’s apparently attempting to recreate the success of the “Outback” chain in a Texas idiom.
This involved having all the waitpersons gather, at one point, to do a line dance in the aisle.
Because Minnesotans have a pretty high tolerance for farce in their dining, too.
Good steak, though.
Yes… very,very good steak
Amazing what one comes across labeled as FREE
The first is a simple truth which Jim Baen is fond of pointing out: most people would rather be honest than dishonest.
He’s absolutely right about that. One of the things about the online debate over e-piracy that particularly galled me was the blithe assumption by some of my opponents that the human race is a pack of slavering would-be thieves held (barely) in check by the fear of prison sentences.
Oh, hogwash.
Interesting comments. I have no idea what you’re talking about, though.
Infront (and your other nicknames tonight), I allowed your other comments to appear, and now I’m beginning to doubt that decision. Pick a nickname, will you? Don’t get snarky, and have a care for context. If you get too wierd, we may close the door on you.
Snarky? Authority to close the door on ME? It’s MY HOUSE!!! Must be confused being on sabbatical for snarky preaching (long over-due)then driving in the gray.
Keep up the posting the look of unbelief in those eyes makes more and more sense.
A Texas steak place? E-mail me the name; I wanna look!
Any big-haired waitresses? Did they serve Sweet Tea or Longnecks? Pecan pie? (And how do they pronounce pecan?)
In over 50 years of eating in Texas, I’ve never seen a line dance by the waitstaff.
Heh.
I figured this would get a heads-up from you, Aitchmark. It was part of a chain called Texas Roadhouse.
The wait staff was young. No big hair that I saw. My friend had sweet tea, but I suppose it wouldn’t meet down home standards. Longnecks, I don’t know. We stuck with soft stuff. And we didn’t stay for dessert.
There was a Texas Roadhouse in my area not long ago. I don’t think I ever went there. Logan’s is a similar place, and the one by the mall is still open. Now that I look at the website, I see that the TR is still there. I thought it had closed. Oh, well. We don’t eat at restaurants often.
