The scene: an unidentified Persian restaurant in West Houston.
The setting: Yours truly bribing Uber with a ritzy lunch in exchange for vehicular favors for the day.
The surprise: Leg of lamb (feeds 6-8) ... $120
Guys, this is worth a little debate. I think we all see the need to call an emergency caucus of clowns for dining and updating our joke catalogs. So the question is as follows - do we tough out a leg of lamb between the four of us, or expand the confab to get the sucker down to at least $20 a head?
I'm all for plunking down $30 and dividing that sucker by four. But I turn the question over to the rest of us for a conclusive decision. If we get the details hammered out, I'm more than willing to put some dates up for consideration.
On another note, I'm eager to hear some other views on a serious dispute between myself and Uber. Who wins the following contest of animals: a duck versus a hippo. Mind you, it could be a very angry duck with a sharp bill. And if it alters your conclusion, I'm willing to debate the outcome of a Best of Three Battle Royale: one contest on land, one in water, and one ... I dunno ... mud?
SIDENOTE: This rocked our world over dinner ...
Now it's rocked yours!
SIDENOTE 2.0: After hearing the above song on the jukebox, I contemplated the awesomeness of a Spanish language version of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart." I've yet to find such an animal. This, however, is close enough to weird to win out for now:
Will & Grace fans, take a guess at who the singer is.

First time on this thing for me in almost 2 weeks, yet I forgo the Elizabeth Montgomery subject for this...?
I could bring a guest to help wrestle the squealing animal to the ground and dispatch it Peter Cushing-style. The rest of us should do same, and bring stakes of woodbine (like in "Horror Hotel").
And don't look now, but the comments section is working. Reconfiguration?
1) I'd go with allowing a few folks to chip away at the price. I've been away from lamb for a few months... got kinda burned out on it. But I'm ready to get back in the saddle, I think.
2) Ralphie is REQUIRED to bring whomever he is dating. It's time for him to come clean about his embarassing cadre of clowns
3) The Jabberwock eats the duck and the hippo.
1. Let's go ahead and consider it "Clown+Guest" then ... that puts us at 8. Gimme time to think who I add to the equation here and I'll play around with some dates on the calendar.
2. Yes, yes ... you could say it's a mandate. In possibly more than one sense of the word, even.
3. Once again, I question your analysis.
As for Ralphie's surprise over the comments being set free again, I suspect it's just a glitch of the server. Nothing changed in the config. I still need to test some plugins that might help us combat spam, though. If there's no moderation going on, it's just a matter of time before we see another attack or two here.
