It's got that European charm which doesn't mean you shouldn't bring
your European charm, if you have one, we'd like to see it. I have a
Turkish good luck charm for example. I use it to confuse American
legislators. Mapquest says the driving time from Tenely Metro to Cafe

We leave you with a few favorite Elvis quotes:

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.

A person's eyes tell you more than their words I'm sort of getting
tired of being Elvis Presley.

People who read sex into my music have dirty minds.

CHOP SUEY!!!


BRUCE LEE is The Bomb.


Ladies and Gents,

Let me set the scene. A reluctant girlfriend is arguing with her boyfriend outside an embassy a few blocks from my apartment building. He is sort of tugging on her arm and she is resisting, although she knows two things: (1) this dude is a tool; and (2) I'll probably go with him anyway. But the situation is not an assault or anything like that. Nevertheless, a middle aged man with a conservative haircut jumps ---- literally ---- out of nowhere, out of two big white doors, onto the sidewalk, into a martial arts fighting stance, with a major grimace on his face, and yells, in my opinion, "Chop suey!!!" I mean, did he say "Chop suey?" That's what I heard. "Chop suey!!!!"

The question really is ---- Are good samaritans intervening in tame domestic disputes by shouting their favorite food item? Do Poles jump out of doors shouting "Kielbasa!!!" Do Jews jump out of doors screaming "Noodle Ring!!!" Do Russians leap out of doors going "Borscht!!!" Do French shout "Crepes!!!" do English shout "Brown sauce!!!" do Japanese shout "Sushi!!!" when breaking up a lover's quarrel? What the hell ever happened to "Get your god damn hands off her!" Or: "Cut it out!" Or: "I'm calling the cops!" Only in America, with our collective waist lines bulging, do we distract such people with thoughts of food. I'd rather shout "Beer" or "Tanqueray and tonic" myself. Why not meet us ---- The Board of Directors ---- this week at Drink & Walk, at Angles, at 7:30 and shout [Your favorite drink] in a martial arts fighting stance? And we'll stop tugging on whomever we're tugging on.

Holding down the fort otherwise will be Poet, Translator, and International Man of Intrigue, Generous Sir Hot Rod SmithSmith Smith -- and Star Emeritus Mel (Melissa) Nichols. Join us if you can. -----D, B.A.,G
