It's a small world after all...DUer just booked my reservation! |
|
Talk about a small world!!! Get this: I just called a famous restaurant in Hollywood to book a reservation for dinner tomorrow night. You see it is our daughter's eighteenth birthday and we wanted to do something special. So I called to reserve a table and this woman tells me she had a 15 year old son; well, one thing leads to another as we talk mom talk, and the subect of the draft comes up...I ask her, hey, do you know about the Democratic Underground? She replies, YES! I do! My girlfriend just turned me on to it and I just joined! Is that GREAT, or what? So DU is like this secret society, and we are going to get a bitchin' table for dinner! Yippeeee! So, which one of you DUers has the friend that works in reservations at the Japanese place on the top of the hill in Hollywood? THANKS! Skull and Bones has nothing on us- We are our own secret society....HEE-HEE.

Used to be able to see it from my old apartment on Franklin.
However, if you happen to run into any influential Democratic media types, feel free to spread the word of DU, yeah? We need help from some of those fairweather millionaires.

16. The fairweathers can kiss my ass... |

Thanks to DU, we are going to take one of their tables tomorrow night... BWAHAHAH! I will encourage my daughter to wear one of her REALLY weird outfits too, just to make them think they have missed a fashion trend. Trust mem, they could care a less about the real world, it's all about having "stuff."

Don't take that approach if you're booking a dinner reservation with a DUer! Say, I am Skittles, can I have good table? If not, THEN I will kick your ass! bhn

19. Yeah! And now we have an inside connection there... |
|
The kidlet has never been there and she LOVES Japanese food, so I can't wait to take her there for her B-day... Remember when you met her at Deckers? She is all grown up now. I can't believe it. Time goes so fast... bhn

27. You'll have to fight momsky for the keys... |
|
But she's old, so you'll win. It's not a great piano, old thirties upright mahogony Wurlitzer, but I LOVE it.

28. Wurlitzers are fine pianos... |
|
I had a Wurlitzer spinet as a kid (but I always played on my father's Steinway baby grand). Toted my spinet around with me through college and much of my adult life. Sold it with my house in upstate NY when I moved down here almost 4 years ago :cry:
I so miss having a piano. But I'll let your momsky win :)

29. The piano will be tuned!~ |
|
I just told husband man that I want the piano tuned for my X-mas present. And thanks for being willing to concede to Momsky for the keys... You and Dadsky can sing! I'm thinking the 26th? Would that work for you and crew? Lemme know... BHN

21. We should have a code word |
|
so people know they're dealing with other DUers.
Something like "The emperor has no clothes" or "The chimp is wearing a crown" or "The Plaid Adder is really cool."
