Steff Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 04:12 AM) My wife and I ate at Ruths Chris the other night. Probably one of the worst rip offs of all time. I'll spend money on a good meal, but that place sux. They have their moments. The one in Cancun sucked, but I do like the one here in Chicago.

The one out here and in Scottsdale is top notch. Its definately pricey but man the side of au-grautin potatoes is amazing. Oh and in Arizona, a place called Houston...best ribs EVA. It is like 20 bucks for the rack though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the food in Scottsdale because that was the night we almost watched a girl get "date raped" in the bathroom. Their service leaves a lot to be desired.

Soxy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 So anyway, there was this guy in one of my classes in college. He had an accent and we all thought he was Australian. So, one day we asked him where in Australia he was from. Turns out, he was actually from WI and just had a speech impedement. Oooops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a somewhat similar note, today this extremely stupid pregnant girl (she's 17) was loudly making fun of an old man who had a heart attack and died while voting yesterday. It turns out that the man who died was the grandfather of one of our classmates. She sat about three feet from the stupid pregnant girl. Talk about awkward..

A few years ago, a co-worker did something similar. A guy who comes in a lot, a carpenter by trade, walks into the bar in a nice suit. Co-worker: "Hey P---, nice suit! Looks like you're going to a funeral or something. Who died?" Guest: "My Dad, J----." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) I hope Brian's union meeting goes well. This is the prep for the first round of negotiating the new contract. I am surprised at Brian's take on it, he doesn't want to push for more, but to keep what they have. Most of the guys there have been saying they want to push for more/larger raises, etc but considering the company just went through a takeover of sorts, they needn't push their luck or they will be in the unemployment line soon. On a side note, I am bidding on a cookbook (one my mom's Christmas gift) published in 1898 by his company.

Rex Kickass Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Dumb question, wouldn't it make sense to push for something small - say 2% but be willing to settle for as-is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 That's probably what they will do. Apparently the guys are more unified and realistic than they seemed when talking at work. He's actually getting energized about the whole thing so I guess we shall see what chips FDP holds. Brian is gun-shy with this stuff after being laid off from Wicklander (about 2.5 years ago) and with us planning on trying for a baby in the New Year, the idea of getting laid off again was freaking him out a bit.
