I think perhaps he's naming his own personal steak house.
I think perhaps I wouldn't want to eat a steak from a FUBAR'd steak house.

I forgot to say, if you get your message over, does it really matter how you get it over?

Only if you want people to take you seriously.

More important than content? No. But at least if you had proper grammar you'd have something.

Of course I have. Your suggestion results in exactly 0 helpful hits. I am not surprised. Maybe you can provide a direct link, or maybe you can't.

Curious. Someone else suggested that the possums I'd seen in New England
were actually Canadians in disguise, and now you tell me that your
Canadian encyclopedia has the straight dope on possums? I'd say you were
giving away your invasion plans, there.

The basic idea behind malls is that they are more convenient than
cities. Cities contain streets, which are dangerous and crowded and
difficult to park in. Malls, on the other hand, have parking lots,
which are also dangerous and crowded and difficult to park in, but --
here is the big difference -- in mall parking lots, THERE ARE NO
RULES. You're allowed to do anything. You can drive as fast as you
want in any direction you want. I was once driving in a mall parking
lot when my car was struck by a pickup truck being driven backward by a
squat man with a tattoo that said "Charlie" on his forearm, who got out
and explained to me, in great detail, why the accident was my fault,
his reasoning being that he was violent and muscular, whereas I was
neither. This kind of reasoning is legally valid in mall parking
lots.

these things! [takes a big whiff from one of the markers... sighs]

From a protest against Windows 98 that the Silicon Valley Linux Users
Group did during the Win98 kickoff at CompUSA in Santa Clara, CA.
Sam Ockman and Nick Moffitt were interviewing customers.
Slightly edited from Sam's account on-line:

Us: We're Linux TV and we're wondering if Windows crashes on you?
Them: Yes, occasionally.
Us: What if we told you our operating system doesn't crash.
Them: Doesn't crash?
Us: Doesn't crash.
Them: Really.
Us: Guess how much we'll sell it to you for.
Them: How much?
Us: Zero Dollars.
Them: Zero Dollars?
Us: And if you act now, we'll throw in the source code free.
Them: Free source code, if we act now? How do you make money?
Us: Volume!

A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed
on the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a marvelous new
game. Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the
pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly
along it at the water's edge. Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their
heads in unison watching the planes go by, and when the pilots turn
around and fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite
direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match. Then, the
paper reports, "The pilots fly out to sea and directly to the penguin
colony and overfly it. Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins
fall over gently onto their backs.

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one
instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.

From the Intro to Mobile Robot Programming Lab webpage:
*Introduction*
In this course, we use 6 Nomad Scout robots running our own
Symantec Visual Cafe Java development environment to ensure that
students cannot possibly have time to get anything social, or
non-robotic, or athletic done for the entire semester.

Connecticut is the state that doesn't exist. Oh, the land is there, and there are a lot of pretty props, but it's all fakes. Really, it's a vast wasteland to cover up the fact that the goverment has a lot more people who are the product of secret research than they'd like to admit. Gengineered people, Jacob's Ladder-like test subjects, electronic-brained people like the kid in D.A.R.Y.L., cyborgs, half-aliens, full aliens masquerading as humans, bred psychics, shamans, sorcerers, and the occasional freak with more control over his eyebrow muscles than any person should have are all products of this top-secret research, and these people all need phony backgrounds so they can fit into society. If you know someone who is from Connecticut, claims to have lived in Connecticut, or says their family lives in Connecticut, they're part of a government project, and the home in Connecticut is just a cover for whatever underground lab or research facility really spawned them.

No no no... they're talking about RHODE ISLAND. The same goes for DELAWARE.

"It was just a job. It wasn't any special interest in consumer affairs. I
needed a paycheck and the Attorney General said that I would be best to go
down there, because he knew I was anti-consumer."

investigator, consumer protection division of the Indiana Attorney
General's office from 1970-1971

Sometimes, when I drive across the desert in the middle of the night, with no other cars around, I start imagining: What if there were no civilization out there? No cities, no factories, no people? And then I think: No people or factories? Then who made this car? And this highway? And I get so confused I have to stick my head out the window into the driving rain---unless there's lightning, because I could get struck on the head by a bolt.
