Stand and Eat

by

Last night I accompanied my wife to a work function of her’s (holiday party) at a somewhat fancy restaurant.  I guess the place had been rented out and when we arrived, the appetizers and the drinks were flowing.  We got a good spot right away as we were right near where the servers were bringing out the hors d’oeuvres.  Overall it was a good night of eating and I just had some thoughts I’d like to share:

  • I know that when I shake someones hand I should give a firm grip so as to display manliness, but what’s proper etiquette when my finger tips are covered in mini-hamburger grease?  I don’t wanna get grease on someone.
  • Would it be a faux-pas if I were to show up to the next stand and eat function with a home made, shoulder slung drink holding contraption?  When I’ve got a plate and a beer, it could really come in handy.  You know what actually, a beer hat would work just as well actually but that typical construction worker like hat would probably not fit in.  Maybe a beer-kangol or a beer-fedora could work?  What about a beer-fez or a beer-top hat?
  • College football is a ridiculous sport.
  • I now know what baba-ghanoush tastes like.  It’s green and I think maybe had some white stuff on top of it.  It was ok.
  • I like having a wife who’s a good spotter (e.g. “Rossotto balls to your right”).
  • What’s the proper amount to tip for a free drink?  What about a coat check?
