fancy pants
I ate lunch at the hot new Mission district spot - Pizzeria Delifina. It’s tiny, but the decor is cool and the food is incredible just like the big sister Delfina next door. Just before the pizza came, they brought me a little white plate with two little piles of stuff on it. The stuff was grated parmesan and oregano. This is a very fancy way to give you parmesan and oregano. But why is that fancy? It means they didn’t bother to spend money on special parmesan and oregano dispensers. Shouldn’t it be fancy to have special containers/dispensers that hold parmesan and oregano? You know what’s really fancy? Dirty plates. OK, that isn’t really fancy. But it if serving spices in a pile on plain white plate is fancy, maybe dirty plates should be fancy, too. I think I’m going to open a really fancy restaurant and call it “Floor”. I’m taking this fancy thing to the next level. You have to eat on the floor. From dirty plates. Fancy? You can’t handle the fancy.

Dude, Eli, haven’t you seen that vacuum commercial with the restaurant called “Floor” — or something similar — and everyone eating off the floor?

I have TiVo. I never see commercials.
All these stupid ideas I have seem to possibly have some merit. I am opening a restaurant called floor. I will use scented tar in construction. We will have free internet kiosks that use the monitan. There will be a gift shop selling the shoetcase.
