Lettuce wraps?

i wish i could move back to colorado. I lived in Boulder last year, came back this past May. Living in Richmond, VA again and missing the flatirons, canyon, eldo, sanitas, etc.

What is the deal with PF Chang's? One just opened up in my town, and the lines go out the door.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 16 September 2005 19:30 (eighteen years ago) link

eew, boulder?? you're not serious

P.P. people love PF changs - even though its not any better than just a regular, run-of-the-mill chinese restaurant

i dont know why, exactly.

xpost"these penguins march or something": so, I deduce it is---March Of The Penguins, which has just started at my local:"Emperor penguins overcome daunting obstacles in order to return to their breeding grounds." Sounds good.

PF Changs is ok, but we got 65 dollars worth of free stuff, and that part was REALLY SWEET. I think, really, I'm just not the biggest chinese food fan. I'm always UNSATISFIED after I eat it. Pizza is the same way. Maybe if I tried that CHEESBURGER PIZZA I'd change my mind -- but probably, I'd just vomit.

PF Changs has one mighty tasty mongolian beef dish, i must say.

Penguin movie amazing to look at, and told a straightforward story without too much gooey goo; but I was a bit dissappointed. I wanted it to be more about evolution, I guess, about how/why these behaviors developed, not just about the incredible behaviors themselves. Maybe I just wanted more detail. 100 mins would have been better than 80.

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Monday, 19 September 2005 00:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Still, I would recommend it to anyone who likes movies about penguins in Antarctica.

discovery had a two hour documentary on them a few years back, did everyone miss it then? or is it the same thing?

It hasn't snowed yet on Grant and Third.

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Sunday, 9 October 2005 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

No snow in Littlefun yet.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Sunday, 9 October 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

marty coniglio now says he thinks mainly rain but some other guy says 5-10 inches

― keyth (keyth), Monday, 10 October 2005 01:27 (eighteen years ago) link

NWS still has:

Columbus day. Snow. Much colder. Snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches. Highs in the mid 30s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.

Monday night. Cloudy with snow likely. Storm total snow accumulations of 12 to 18 inches. Heaviest near the foothills. Lows in the upper 20s. Chance of snow 70 percent.

― Hunter (Hunter), Monday, 10 October 2005 01:43 (eighteen years ago) link

marty coniglio is such a prat

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 10 October 2005 02:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Real Columbus Day is Wednesday, but it was moved because he didn't want to sail on Yom Kippur.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 05:58 (eighteen years ago) link

my sister and i went with our parents to RODNEY's again, tonight

i was accosted by some drunkard who congratulated me on tying my scarf "THE EUROPEAN WAY"

i then ate a mayonnaise sandwich (practically) which made me feel queasy.

what's marty coniglio saying now, keith?

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I am going to be in Denver next week!

Who wants to HANG?

thank god someone is posting to the DENVER thread who's not me!!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:11 (eighteen years ago) link

hey pickles.. you ready for your turkey dinner?

me and parents were discussing how much it would disturb you if we got a thanksgiving meal IN A BOX

its almost tempting!!

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:14 (eighteen years ago) link

How did I get branded the food snob of the fam?

Mom gets so stressed out about MEALS when I'm around. I must criticize too much.

― not sure about pickles (Jacqui Pickles), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:17 (eighteen years ago) link

you are like A FOOD CRITIC, apparently

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I just don't want my food from a box, jeez. Is that so much to ask? For priding herself on having no emotions, Mom sure is sensitive about her COOKING.

I can't wait to chug some bazookas at Romas! Annnnd... man, what else will be going on? We gonna catch the new HP? Is that gay cowboy movie gonna be out?

― not sure about pickles (Jacqui Pickles), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:24 (eighteen years ago) link

oooo romas!!!! definitely hp. also, maybe, dancing with andrew.

food in boxes is ok with me.

Hello Wrights. I hope you enjoy your Colorado Thanksgiving. I'm going to have a Connecticut Thanksgiving. In Connecticut. (As opposed to having a Connecticut Thanksgiving in Colorado.)

But before I fly east, I will see the HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS movie at the Starz theatre as part of the Denver Film Festival, and afterwards Peter Stampfel will perform. I saw Weber & Stampfel play a couple of times in the early '80s, once at Folk City and once at the Mudd Club (these were in some city to the east of Denver by a good bit). I gave Stampfel a copy of my band's demo tape.

― Frank Kogan (Frank Kogan), Thursday, 17 November 2005 04:26 (eighteen years ago) link

i am still digging out of my snow grave. i was in town and those guys who go around protesting construction sites that don't use union labor need to get some new slogans to shout 'no justice, no peace' is tired. most everyone who works downtown looks miserable to me. but i was carrying an axe.

I would like to come to Denver one day but geographically the chances are slim.

my parents are visiting denver next week. my dad will only want to golf

This was at least the second opportunity on this thread for a feckless Brit to pipe up with Things To Do In Denver With Your Dad hyuk-hyuk and I can't let it pass now.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

i never saw that movie!(a DAD in Scotland piped up about that movie as well).

AND, I wish you would come to Denver.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a relative complain recently about Denver's homeless population.

A.) Of all the things I've heard negative about Denver, it's always been "bland", "too far away from everything", "expensive", etc. I hadn't heard complaints about the transient population, though.

B.) I still don't get complaints about homeless people. You may get an occassional aggressive dude, just like you may get the occassional someone at the table next to yours incessantly jabbering into his cellphone. Besides that, they're just people who have a lot more problems than you do.

C.) Even if I were to bitch about homeless people, how could I possibly start with Denver? Those hobo's riding unicycles down the avenues of Berkeley, now THERE are some people I can roll my eyes at.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I never saw the movie either, and my impression was that it fared poorly at the box office, and left little mark on the popular culture. Yet people from far off places (Denmark, e.g) reference it to me. I guess it's what we have. That, Columbine and Elway.

― Hunter (Hunter), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

you've got the tattered cover too

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I went to Denver last winter, about a decade since I'd last been there, and it was WAY MORE GIGANTICKER than before. You guys have probably noticed that. I seemed to remember that once upon a time one drove from Denver to the mountains, whereas this time it was more like we drove through Denver and were in the mountains before we even finished.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, it's grown a lot. since the DYNASTY days !
