sending a message by your tip doesn't work, so you should tip whatever you tip
Bullshit.
I will say that the tipping a penny thing probably
doesn't
work the way it's intended. Certainly I and most people I knew would react to that, fair or not, by instantly writing you off as an asshole who was looking to cheap out from the get-go. (Um, that's a general you.) OTOH, a 10 or 12% tip is much more likely to be interpreted as a sign of unhappiness.
Jilli - I think you and Pete need to do another NYC visit
I KNOW! Believe me, I have been trying to figure out how we could go to NYC, see peoples, and spend a lot of time at that Tim Burton exhibit. The big fancy opening night gala is (supposedly) even on my birthday.
Barack Obama Names Alan Moore Official White House Biographer
WASHINGTON—At a press conference Monday, President Obama announced that he had appointed legendary comic book writer Alan Moore as the official biographer of his time in the White House. "As evidenced by his epic run on Swamp Thing #21–64, Moore's deft hand with both sociopolitical commentary and metaphysical violence makes him an ideal choice to chronicle my time in office," Obama said of the author of Watchmen and From Hell, whom he reportedly chose over others on a short list of potential biographers that included Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, and Bob Woodward. "I look forward to seeing the kinds of subplots he will surely weave throughout the main narrative of my presidency, and how he'll tie them all back together at the end in a way that just elevates the thing to a whole other level. God, that guy is the master." Although Obama has not yet settled on a publisher for his White House biography, he is reportedly leaning toward DC's Vertigo imprint for its creator-friendly ethos, high production values, and willingness to publish content for mature readers.

I have definitely gotten caught in the middle ground of service between pleasantly unhurried and neglectful -- do they think they're being nice by leaving us alone? Have they forgotten us?
ION, I had no idea Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox were together! Also, they went as Zombie Bonnie and Clyde for Halloween. [link]
