cluck norris

This tough guy was photographed with a Fuji point & shoot through chicken wire at my brother's house. Then they ate him. (Sorry, but that's what he was there for.)

We went with friends to Hollywood Blvd Cinema to celebrate my wife's birthday. They have a bar at the entrance for people who have too much money and can't figure out a better way to spend it. Yeah, I never quite understood the bar thing. The place is decorated really cool, plus the location is cleverly set up to be a movie AND dining experience. The food has catchy names. For example, the spicy Italian sandwich is called the Al Pacino. Get it? They have a pizza with spinach and asparagus called the Linda Blair. That's gross. I ordered the Chuck Norris. It's a buffalo chicken sandwich (white meat with an extra kick).

The movie was great, but my favorite moment that night was when the waiter came to my table, looked me right in the eyes, and asked, "Chuck Norris?" I wanted to take the plate and say, "No Son, I'm not Chuck Norris, but I get that all the time."

.

Instead of trying to be clever and say something funny (that he's probably heard a thousand times already), I simply smiled and said, "Thanks."

.

Wow, I totally blew that great opportunity! ...I'm such a big chicken.

another latte, please

Waiter, there's a hamster in my coffee...

A less informed individual might think that I did not take today's post seriously. But in a world where Beverly Hills Chihuahua is the #1 movie in America (according to today's Chicago Tribune), anything is possible!

.

I really don't have anything against movies that star little lap dogs, but is this the best we can do?

Why am I calling this post "another latte?" Well, there's a hamster in my cup; I don't want this one; please get me another. Get it? Lime used that word today (latte), and I had to wrestle with whether or not I should change the title. Bottom line: I just couldn't think of anything else. Maybe I have the same thing that's going around in Hollywood.
