#and the menu is in the highlights

[onyxbird]

Saw a mention of "Thief juice: it's a mouth crime" in the Leverage tag and it sparked a glorious thought:

Brewpub menu using con names

A fair number of them look like straight-forward descriptions, nothing notable except perhaps the unusual inclusion of "the" before all of them, e.g., The Cuban Sandwich, The Cherry Pie, and The Apple Pie (most customers don't understand why the apple pie crust vents/decorations sometimes resemble life preservers, but it certainly doesn't occur to them to connect it to the very literal name).

Things turn significantly more confusing for most patrons with other menu items. Customers familiar enough with con-artist lingo recognize some of the established con names enough to figure out the naming theme, and some of them can guess at associations between some of the food and their namesake cons, but for the most part it's a mystery.

"The Fiddle Game" is Eliot's chili, at Parker's insistence. Hardison was initially a little concerned, since the "fiddle" is supposed to be an overvalued item that is actually essentially worthless, and, Parker, maybe we shouldn't be applying that to any of Eliot's food? But after Eliot gruffly cut him off and tried to pretend he wasn't a little choked up about it, Hardison decided not to stand in the way of Parker insights. (And he supposed she had technically named the chili after the con, not the fiddle itself, and the con was solid. A classic.)

No one on staff quite understands the private joke between the owners and head chef about using horsemeat in "The Lost Heir" burger--they all know it's actually bison.

And, finally, one of the most baffling to their clientele is also one of Eliot's few suggestions of non-literal con names for food, and an ongoing good-natured argument between Eliot and Hardison: Splitting a sandwich between two people with sides of soup or salad is "The Vegas Wake-Up Call." (It's like the Cuban Sandwich, but "the boyfriend shows up").

(BTW, for anyone else needing to reference Leverage con names, @glen-reeder compiled a list.)

Am I enabling my colleagues' incompetence or did they just save all of their tech issues for the poor IT guy who came by every other week before I started there. Because today my coworker actually seemed to get mad when I told her I was too busy to rearrange the ribbon menu in outlook for her and just explained how she could do it herself instead. And she still didn't do it.

I usually appreciate when genshin makes quality of life updates because they tend to be much needed and long overdue, but I feel like most changes they've made in the past several months have just made the game more annoying 😭

A Midweek Reunion at Wildflour Six/NEO BGC: Great Food, Great Friends, Great Memories

Reuniting with old friends is always special, but when your group is made up of former coworkers who have all gone on to different career paths, it feels even more meaningful. Over the years, we’ve stayed close despite everyone moving to different companies. Even though our schedules are hectic, we make it a point to meet up at least once a year to catch up on life and everything in…

went to an Italian restaurant with my family but I wasn't in the mood for pasta so I got a burger, and let me tell you they have no right making a burger and fries better than almost any actual burger place I've ever been to but damned if they didn't do it anyway

Toji remains seated on the carpet with his children's small toy table in front of him, too small to allow him to even place both of his hands on it.

“What would you like to order sir?” asks Megumi holding a crayon and notepad full of drawings, and looks at his father with a serious expression, or at least tries to.

Toji parts his thin lips for a brief moment and looks at the paper with coloured lines that should, in theory, represent the menu of the well-known restaurant “Fushigurosʼ Restaurant”.

“Is it possible to have the special of the day?” he asks as he carefully searches for the right words and smiles, highlighting the scar on his right side.

With a quick nod of his head, Megumi walks over to his three-year-old sister and informs her of their customer's request. In response, the little girl turns to him, looks at him from head to toe with her big green eyes and shakes her head slightly, causing her black hair to move as well.

After this dramatic reaction, her brother goes to the table and reports the cook's reply. “Well, the dish of the day is made of,” he pauses briefly and pretends to read the note scribbled a moment before, “biscuits and water.” he finishes by flashing a smile.

“Biscuits and water?” repeats Toji and nods slowly. “Alright thank you.” he finally says and, again, Megumi walks over to his little sister.

The latter starts mumbling and with every word spoken her brother nods and agrees. Toji does not know exactly what the two are saying to each other but he can't help but smile.

“Oh, there's a tea party?” your voice catches the attention of the three raven-haired who turn towards you; your two children happily run over and hug you as if they haven't seen you in years while your husband remains seated next to the toy table.

“Mummy, Daddy has so many demands!” the little one complains and her lips form a pout as she looks towards her confused father.

I might as well, since I'm apparently not going anywhere.

SUPERSONS FOREVER!
