PennBotSomebody said so is it normal behavior for empathy that when you fill the line you're typing in it makes the window bigger instead of going to a new line, andrew01:36
pleia2and no time between planes to get coffee (I actually had planned on it)01:36

pleia2yeah, and only my 4th time to europe (england, belgium, ireland)02:03
pleia2sheesh, look at me, 3 years ago I'd never even been out of the US :)02:04
andrewmy visits to europe can be represented with an empty set02:04
pleia2europe doesn't have enough cheese or water pressure in showers02:04
JonathanDor cheese in showers.02:05
pleia2cheese should never be in showers02:05
andrewshould showers be in cheese?02:05
JonathanDit's raining cheese.02:05
JonathanDhallelujah02:06
pleia2when I came home from 2 weeks in england I bought a GIANT cheesy pizza02:06
pleia2it was nice02:06
JonathanDThey always brag about how good their cheese is.02:06
JonathanDand how crumby ours is.02:06
JonathanDPerhaps this is because there isn't any.02:06
andrewdid they forget to melt ours?02:06
pleia2yeah, ours needs to be melted and put on everything02:07
JonathanDI had a nice piece of NY chedder on saturday.02:07

rmg51cheese-whiz ;-)02:07
andrewWe even put cheese on our steak!02:08
pleia2mm cheesesteak wit whiz02:08
andrewI'm pretty sure that statement is shortened to "wit"02:09
pleia2but what about the onions?02:09
pleia2I do not want onions02:09
andrewhrm, dunno02:10
* andrew avoids the city as much as humanly possible02:10
waltmanno, no, no.03:45
waltmanwid/wid-out refers to *onions*, not cheese.03:45

PennBotTitle: How to Order a Cheesesteak - Pat's Steaks | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (at www.flickr.com)03:46
ChinnoDogpeeps need directions?03:47
waltmanInterestingly, it does say "wit" there, but I'm pretty sure the true Philly accent is more "wid" than "wit"03:47
waltmanChinnoDog: This is only at pretentious places like Pat's.  Anywhere else you can order in normal English, and they won't have whiz.03:48
pleia2the cheesesteak place here has whiz, is goooood03:48
pleia2jakessteaks.net yum yum03:49
waltmanThere are 1000s of places to buy cheesesteaks in the Philadelphia area, but I'm guessing less than 10 have whiz.03:49
ChinnoDogwhiz?03:49
andrew...03:49
pleia2cheese whiz03:49
andrew(did he ask what I think he asked?)03:50
pleia2lol03:50
pleia2he's not from around here03:50
ChinnoDogWhy would you put cheese whiz on a cheese steak?03:50
pleia2oh dear03:50
andrewdefine 'here' since you are currently thousands of miles from where i am03:50
pleia2andrew: philly!03:50
pleia2I am there in spirit while talking about cheesesteaks03:51
pleia2except for the jakes steaks thing, that's my little philly enclave in sf03:51
pleia2their whole wall is a photo of boathouse row03:51
pleia2and they haz Tastykakes03:52
andrewfor now03:52
waltmanChinnoDog: You wouldn't. You'd put American or Provolone.03:52
ChinnoDogSo why would a nice cheesteak place have whiz?03:54
pleia2it's traditional03:55
waltmanit's traditional at like 3 places.03:55
ChinnoDoglol03:55
pleia23 famous places!03:56
waltmanyeah, yeah03:56
ChinnoDogI'll take one with swiss, and wid03:56
ChinnoDogNo whiz03:56
waltmanno, swiss isn't an option03:56
ChinnoDogIt isn't?03:56
pleia2nope, american or provolone03:57
waltmanThe traditional options are American (the default), provolone, or mozzarella if you want a pizza steak.03:57
pleia2I actually prefer chicken cheesesteaks w/ american cheese03:57
ChinnoDogMaybe I used to get them with provolone then03:57
ChinnoDogI was never into American03:57
waltmanyeah, provolone's just a better, tastier cheese03:57
* pleia2 gnaws on matzah03:58
pleia2i want breeeeaaad03:58
ChinnoDogPoor pleia203:58
waltmanandrew: You ever go to the Peppermille?03:58
waltmans/e$//03:58
ChinnoDogSomeone fedex a cheese steak to pleia203:58
pleia2the ones from jake's are fine03:58
andrewthe peppermill? you mean "Pepper Mill"?03:58
pleia2but it's across town03:58
waltmanOh, is it 2 words?  Yeah, the place at 352 and Paoli Pike.03:59
ChinnoDogBoyfriends are often useful for tasks such as this.03:59

PennBotTitle: Google Maps (at maps.google.com)03:59
pleia2he's even further away than the cheesesteaks!03:59
andrewyes, plenty of times, but generally for strombolies03:59
andrewnever had a cheesesteak there03:59
waltmanEverything's great there.03:59
ChinnoDogpleia2: does that mean the cheese steaks are on his way home?04:00
pleia2ChinnoDog: unfortunately not04:00
waltmanWe used to go there a lot when I was working at QVC. My favorite was the South of the Border Chicken Cheesesteak.04:00
andrewwaltman: you used to work at qvc?04:00
pleia2he was a model04:00
andrewlulz04:01
waltmanYep, for most of the 90s04:01
andrewmost of the 90s?04:01
andrewwhat year did they open that location up?04:02
waltman1986, I think.04:02
andrewhrm04:02
waltmanI started in 1990, and it was already several years old then.04:02
andrewin the same building they are in now?04:03
waltmanI started at 1365 Enterprise Drive. I think they still have some office space there, but in the mid 90s they moved most of their operations to the place on Airport Rd.04:04
andrewI remember when they opened the airport rd location (vaguely)04:05
waltmanYeah, it was a big deal.  That used to be where Commodore was located.04:05
ChinnoDogpleia2: When I lived in Jersey I had a short list of cheesteak delivery places. I guess you don't have those...04:05
andrewuh-oh, delta plane made emergancy landing at phl, reports of smoke in cockpit04:06
pleia2jake's is run by philly natives, they do it wrong at other places04:06
waltmanChinnoDog: now she's got a *very* short list :)04:06
pleia2they do delivery, but not this far out from where they are04:07
* waltman now has a strange craving for a cheesesteak 04:07
pleia2hehe04:07
ChinnoDogOffer them a few extra bucks!04:08
waltmanChinnoDog: steaks only travel well up to a certain short distance from the grill.04:09
ChinnoDogIf only there was a cheese steak stand on wheels you could call up.04:10
waltmanChinnoDog: We've got cheesteak trucks all over the place around Drexel and Penn :)04:11
ChinnoDogWell tell one of them to drive to SF for a cheese steak emergency04:12
waltmanpleia2: do you have a bear light to bring to the release party on thursday?04:13
pleia2waltman: it would be red all the time!04:13
waltmanexactly!04:14
pleia2I wish they had better food, they do tapas, which to them means tiny sf-food appetizers that cost $12 each04:15
pleia2sf-food == fancy, usually somewhat healthy, fuzion food04:17
* pleia2 likes proper brewpub pub food04:18
pleia2like sly fox, man I loved sly fox04:18

InHisNameThere appears to be a whole slew of web sites 'predicting' the Judgement Day to be May 21, 2011.   And I thought everyone was fixated on 2012 due to the Mayans being so smart with calendars ?15:27
jedijfInHisName: i saw a billboard yesterday on rt 70 in the pinelands15:31
InHisNameFunny about that,  God said long ago even JESUS doesn't now when......15:41
InHisNameI suspect that on May 21 he will NOT end the world, just because so many are expecting it. (its supposed to be a big surprise)15:42
teddy-dbeartell me all about May 22nd :-/15:44
InHisNameteddy-dbear: its a Sunday, you are invited to attend my church as I expect most of us will still be around exept for car accidents, disasters, etc.  1/2 mile up Valley Rd from Street Road in Warrington, PA15:49
InHisNameThe instigator wrote a book called 1994?  that called that the end.  Ha!15:50
