It's all that wine. (I admit I'd dearly love to try a Petrus, but not for 5K.)

Looks like Google is celebrating Sesame Street all week long--today, it's Cookie Monster.
COOKIE!
Maybe someday me can overcome me addiction to cookies. On second thought, no. Me like cookies too much.

C IS FOR COOKIE, AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

All that booze definitely added to it, but did you look at the prices on the rest of it? A large water for $12.00???

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jesse -- try a department store discounter like Ross, TJs, Filenes. Housewares there are effing insane, but I would guess you'd need to find a spacious store in the suburbs.
I know Dana is not moving to Thailand, but I thought it would be awesome to be an expat in Bangkok, or especially Chiang Mai.

I'm assuming that's a large bottle of some fancy premium bottled water - not just a large glass. (I mean, it's still a lot of money, but it's not an unusual markup for that kind of restaurant.)
[Before tax & tip, if you take out the wine it's a $1600 bill. Which is still a lot, but at least it's a number my brain can cope with - it's the difference between saving a month's wages vs a year's.]

Shit's all sorts of different now.
A $47,000 restaurant tab
My question: Who gets the $7300 gratuity??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Who gets the $7300 gratuity??
In the blog posting, he talks about it:
he told me that tips are pooled at Nello’s and that night’s glorious take was divided up among fifteen employees - waiters, food runners, bartenders, bus people and a maitre’d. In a pool house it’s common to divvy up the tips according to a percentage formula. And while the waiter at Nello’s wouldn’t tell me what that formula was, it’s obvious that everyone had a nice pay day!
