"...put the meat on the pole, not on the plate."

I am flabbergasted.  Good show, TL!

Fruits and vegetables are stupid. They should go shop for a coffin.

Related to Diablo Cody, perhaps?

Are you arranging an Oregon tour now, TL?  I think, at the least, you need to check the place out to make sure they only serve vegan beer.

Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

I was more interested in the mechanics of this spot. Is Fox news taking a cue from the Daily Show? The Fox News that I know would have told you how many blocks this place was from a public school.

"Shocking restuarant tries new gimmick for younger generation!"

No, !!! THREE !!! exclaimation points!

She seems like a nice enough girl.

He sounds like he might be related to Patrick Warburton when he says that.

Too bad the pirate place closed down. That would've been the best spot for an awkward blind date ever.

Hey Teddy, turns out it's for sale (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/fashion/27vegan.html?_r=1&ref=fashion&oref=slogin).

Last week Mr. Diablo put the club up for sale, although not because of the criticism, he said. He may have underestimated the appeal of stripping to vegans, or of vegan cuisine to striptease fans; an earlier vegan restaurant he ran was poorly received.

Huh.  Guess I better book a show in Portland ASAP.
However I might feel about strip clubs, Mr. Diablo does seem like a bit of an FWD.
("a FWD?"  What's the way to go there - do you use "a" for "F" representing "factory," or do you use "an" to work with the pronunciation of the letter "F?" Anyone?  Sarah?)

"An" would be the way to go here.

That'll be two cents, please (it used to be a penny, or a golden sovereign, as my father called them when I was wee; inflation, you know).

It would be "an FWD."

By the way, if you are 'merkin it is "a historical," not "an historical."  Fake fancy news guys drive me up the wall!

However, I have always believed that it is very funny to say "an" when you should say "a," as in, "Give me an cookie."

Thanks - that was my instinct, but I over-thought it.
Too much more of doing that in my life, and I'll soon need to go shopping for an coffin.

i'm an incorrigible omnivore, and know little of specialized vegan cooking, but i'm going to hazard a guess and say this guy probably wasn't a very good vegan chef.

I smell an investment opportunity! Roll up to Casa Diablo in that Miata of yours, TL.

Also, "a hysteric," "a hysterical fan."

Eating beneath a pole dancer scares me.   Just because of the Brownian Movement factor, you are what you eat, etc.

She struck me as pretentious and ditzy. But then I remembered that documentary Live Nude Girls Unite! where they talk about doing their "stripper voices", and perhaps I have judged her too harshly.

I get porn, but I don't really get strip clubs. It seems like a lot of money for very little payoff.

I definitely don't get eating at a strip club.
Eat, if you're hungry, and then go the strip club.
OR, go to the strip club, and if you get hungry, go somewhere else and eat.

Yeah, naked people and food don't mix. At my college, I think about ten years ago, they used to have this naked cooking party. It sounded like a terrible idea to me. Nudity and food aren't good together, but nudity and a hot stove sounds downright deadly.

It's like a GG Allin show, but not as ugly.

If you're going to follow that line of thinking, though, you might as well call it quits with food altogether.

Has anyone else noticed the peculiar local pride Portland has in its strip clubs?  I think it has something to do with their zoning or vice laws or whatever dating back to pioneer days, but more than one person I spoke to out there mentioned that Portland has "more strip joints per capita" than anywhere else in the USA.
