First of all, I'm watching "Shaft," and even 34 years later, he's the motherfuckin' man! So now I want to be a combo of Jack Bauer, Trogdor and Shaft! Who could defeat that? I ask you, WHO? Nobody, bitch. Good answer.

"That's some cold shit, throwing my man Leroy out the window. Just picked my man up and threw him out the goddamn window!"

So the dinner I was at tonight had a total bill of nearly $2,000. That's TWO THOUSAND dollars (there were 11 or 12 of us)! Now, the meal was phenomenal and over-the-top -- very little of the bill was booze, 'cuz we were being professional and shit. I loved it and it cost me nothing but the valet fee.

So here's my question: Is it worth it to spend two grand on a meal? Believe me, the people paying won't miss it, and they think they were currying favor with that shit, even though they get no quarter from me. But doesn't that seem obscene in some way? I think of what I could do with that kind of money and, well, fuck! That's a pretty decent vacation, or a cool TV. And seriously, they could have not hosted this dinner and it would not have affected anything. Capitalism at its worst, right? A few hours from now, $2,000 will be in the toilets of Seattle.

Thoughts?
