Because books.

Mmm, cigars. I used to go to the tobacco shop with my old boss so I could stand in the humidor and inhale.

I honestly could not want chocolate more than I do right now.

Dark chocolate is the best. But I may not be helping.

Someone in the office had a birthday so I got a free cupcake. I'm pretty happy about that.

Neither of you are helping. Hmph.

Our wings are not tired.

Amy, if you were closer I would bring you a chocolate martini.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that reminds me I should offer money for the birthday cupcake I had...

Buffista parents -

what is the etiquette in which you bring young children to a restaurant and have them use loud videos or toys to keep them entertained? Is this regular practice, rude, a mix?

My initial reaction is a negative one, but I'm trying to decide if I need to lighten up.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am a well of disappointment for the lack of snow this winter. Which is already gone. Spring is sprouting everywhere, which...yeah, nice, but not as welcome if there wasn't a winter. I mean rain, sure, and gloom. But no real snow? Who's running this thing?

Um, rude. The purpose of bringing toys/entertainment to a restaurant for your children is to keep them QUIET. Loud toys just make things worse!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Unless it's something like a sports bar (and thus very loud already), I think it's rude. But I think handheld videos or toys used quietly are marvelous.
