Where's the fun in just announcing a time and place without arguing about it?

I know, we barely even argued about it over email. (VTSO, etc.)

DQ is obviously far too pretentious to meet at an honest-to-god American venue like a car dealership.

I mean, the announcement is so down to earth it isn't even in sentences.

If it ever opens and I can be bothered to go to the wrong side of the tunnel, we could have a meet up there.

A good one - star restaurant in Brussels, Restaurant WY, is in a car dealership. It was Mercedes-Benz but is now Smart.

One star might be fine in Brussels, but Braddock has standards.

It appears that we are bringing the offspring. If you must be obscene in conversation, do your best to use indirection and obscure vocabulary. (She's 5.)

Scene from BART: two people who don't know each other and are sitting on opposite ends of the car arguing over whether 1) one of them is shooting up and 2) if the alleged shooting up involves clean needles.
