RUMOR - DUI Checkpoint in St. Matts Tonight (07/09)

arrogance or general dipshittedness.

This descibes our first trip.

And not to pick on Steve, but I really like huge fans pointed straight at me

What Jackie said, but I prefer my fans waving and screaming for me....off line sounds good.

John - You gotta KNOW how much I like to see it when you say, "What Jackie said"! Birds of a feather...

I didn't get that. My only possible complaint, on both visits, was that the (separate) guy servers had a kind of theatrical demeanor, like they were working at the Anchor until a good gig at Actors came along. No harm in that, though, and it seemed a little mean to put it in a review, although I don't think they'd be hurt that bad if I said it in here.

Damn hilarious tonight John.

I guess I should explain. We checked their facebook page and called to confirm that they opened at lunch at 11:00. We showed up at 11:05 and were told they don't open until 11:30. We explained that we checked their site and called, but they didn't seemed concerned. The wife was fine with waiting, but I was pissed. There is no excuse for not knowing what time you open. Hello, Mojito!

Why am I always the last person to see an obvious pun??? Punny.

I'm just enough of a parnoid to imagine this thread (start to finish) is plastered on the bulletin board of every cop shop in town. I can just imagine every cop with a beat anywhere within 5 miles of this place licking their chops and swapping shifts so they can work on the day THIS deal goes down

It's in Anchorage. You're already screwed.

Location sounds good to me ; near my old high school.

Don't think THIS wasn't discussed before the lovely bride and I made our aborted visit to the Village whatever it is. Anchorage gives me the heeby-jeebies when it comes to having a cocktail or two in town and then trying to make a clean break to the city limits.

But I regress....


Carry on.

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.

I really hate to swim up against the stream of nattering nabobs of Anchorage negativism, but Robin suggested an offline.

As I've secured my passport out of the Greater St. Matthews area (got it at the Old Sears), I'm up for a meet with my fellow foodies. Anchorage is fine as long as it's not the Anchorage of Ms. Palin. On the other hand, if it's at a location that's more conducive to driving in a manner suiting you hot rod from hell forumites, that's okay too.

Just a note before you come speeding through MY neighborhood: Watch out for that Terminator-like police robot display on Massie Avenue that flashes to the whole world when you're driving a breakneck 27mph, alarmingly faster than the more sedate 25 that's posted there. Oh, and no worries about getting hit by a train as you'll know when they're passing through St. Matthews. Yes, you'll know by the 24 freaking times they blow their whistles.

And I'll bet you a fully dressed dog from Lonnie's that de Tocqueville is "Highlands People".

But I digress.

Yes, yes he is...and as is his right and privilege...Robin is waiting for someone to step up to the plate and say "pick me-pick me...I'll organize the offline". My vote would be for a person...preferably someone quite new to the area who probably wants to keep his organizational skills honed to a razors edge. Hmmmmmm, do we have any likely candidates ? Let me ponder

[Robin Garr]

Actually, while a step-up would be splendid, what Robin is REALLY waiting for is a moment to get in touch with April and see whether those guys feel they can handle a large (20-plus) group at this point or if they'd rather have us wait until the crowds die down some.

Let me get the word on that, and then I'll start a new "offline" thread and invite volunteers to help.
