While you're there, you can look up "poseur".


No, Dear Mr. Lancaster -- I was referring to the misplaced apostrophe.
My vocabulary includes both words "Lair" and "Poseur".

Too bad you don't understand that you aren't replying to Mr. Don
Lancaster. :)

Since you are so learned that I don't have to explain this to you, I
will explain it for the benefit of any other ignorant doofus who may
happen to be reading this: The way Mr. Lancaster's web page title is
written he is saying the Lair belongs to Don Lancaster's Guru, not that
Don Lancaster is the Guru in the Lair.

Only one possible interpretation...and don't get on me about not
making complete sentences...this is done for effect. :)

The site is created by and owned by Don Lancaster, and it is for ANY
and ALL gurus.

Your site, Don, might well contain some useful info.
Unfortunatly, finding it would be akin to finding a pearl in a canyon full of
buffalo shit. Blindfolded. With heavy rubber gloves on. At night.
Helter skelter, non related crap uhh .... More links that you can shake a
stick at.
In short, if that web page was your desk, you would be buried alive, many
times over.
Organization is the key, and it is within your grasp.

Oh good one. Maybe that will keep him busy for a while.

The name is correct though. Ruth Fertel bought the old Chris Steakhouse in
New Orleans in 1965 and didn't want to lose the loyal customers.

The original place was great. Old cafe atmosphere with waitresses in black
uniforms and white aprons. They still called everybody honey back than. Now
that it is an upscale chain the food is still great but the ambiance has
gone to hell.

I know the answer to that one: Ruth purchased a place
already named "Chris Steakhouse" and always said that the
contract required she keep the name "Chris". (Sounds to
me that it was more of a way to save money on a new sign.)

Or the new sign in Ogden, Utah:

Unfortunately, that one is apparently closed now.

Bending the thread slightly -

There was an old farmer in a town where I grew up who had an antique shop on
a corner of his farm. On a bet, he hung up a sign: "We buy junk and sell
antiques."

The food is quite good, but they tend to pack the tables in far too
closely. For me that's a huge detractor; I don't like paying premium
prices to sit elbow-to-elbow with the table next to me, and hear every
word of their conversation whether I want to or not.

It's the closest "good" restaurant to my house, so we have a lot of
visiting-relative and birthday dinners there.

There's also a nice local Italian restaurant in the same center, which we
went to the last time my parents visited because Outback was backed up. A
man comes to our table, asks if there is anything we need. "More bread,
more wine?" I said "You must be the boss". He replied "No, here, YOU da
boss!"

We're going back.
