Just had an interesting exchange with his IHOP waitress: Me: "Do you have any decaf tea?" Waitress: "I’ll see if I can find some for ya." Me: "Thanks!" At first I was like, that’s really sweet of her to go "find me" some tea. But then I was like, well, either IHOP has decaf tea (in which case she’s not really doing me any special favors) or IHOP doesn't (in which case, well, thanks for nothing). I mean, was this waitress implying that the kitchen was in such a state of disarray that she’d have to hunt through piles of eggs to find me a packet of tea? (Even if she were, that’s not really doing me a "favor," that’s just making up for IHOP's negligence). Was she going to go into the "EMPLOYEE TEA" cupboard? THANKS FOR NOTHING, LADY is my point.

This week I wrote a story about the social consequences of drinking for free. Intrigued? Click HERE to read the story at LasVegasWeekly.com.

Okay, okay, I know this looks like we're just having fun (pictured is my roommate and my friend Sylvia from Chicago), but I'm actually hard at work here.  I'm writing a story about Pickup Artists, and we followed them into Tryst at Wynn to watch their game.  And now it's time to write about it. 

Came across this in supermarket tonight. Very disappointing. Back when I was your age, we had proper cereal mascots. And they taught us about exclusion (Lucky the Leprechaun, Trix Rabbit, Flinstones, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird). King Vitamin looks WAY to happy and inclusive to me.
