My friend the chef
is hired to do this dinner party for some hill-topper. They want fish as one of the choices and they want the fish from Hawaii that is lowest in Mercury (I forget what it is). They are concerned about the mercury in the fish. It is considerably more expensive, but they want it.
My friend finds it and has it as part of the menu.
He does the party.
Placed around the room are these little candle holder type containers. They are filled with cigarettes. The party is blue with cigarette smoke.
They ate their low mercury fish.
the end

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I was nervous and made all sorts of excuses about why we shouldn't have them over for dinner - the dumbest reasons you ever want to hear.
One afternoon, they showed up around 4:30ish. We had nothing happening, so we did a little porch sitting. I had pot roast in the crock pot - enough to feed an army. Sting asked them to stay for dinner. I bucked it up. He had thirds.
If he eats my pot roast made using cream of mushroom soup and wine, I will feed him anything.

Re: My friend the chef
If we're allowed opinions in this thread, you can't go wrong with a good roast cooked all day in a crock
pot with mushroom soup and red wine. I had beef tips with mushrooms on Sunday...cooked in a similar
fashion - except I used fresh mushrooms and onions. My kids invited their friends for dinner at the last
minute. They all raved about the food ("this meat is amazing" is an exact quote from one of the guys)
and then they wanted my recipe. It's very hard to tell them I don't really have a recipe, but I did
the best I could.

Then I'll have the pot roast no matter how it's cooked.

Wealth in no way implies even a modicum of logic.
In fact sometimes it seems to be the opposite.
