For real, people?
1. I know this may go down as one of those things that I shouldn’t find as funny as I do but here it is: The song Jesus, Take the Wheel is hilarious. Let me get this straight. This woman is driving with her kid in the back seat, hits ice and throws in the towel, tosses her hands up into the air and turns the mike on over to Jesus. Dude, how about you give yourself and Jesus a helping hand and at least keep hold of that steering wheel. I mean, is that too much to ask? I suspect even Jesus would be saying, “For real? How about a little help here?”
2. I spoke with The Italian today. He offhandedly mentioned that he used to have two pet turtles while he was in college. I said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. In college?!” He said, “Yes…their names were Cuff and Link.” What world am I in, people? Turtles are for kids who can’t be trusted with dogs. They are for kids who need pets they can drop relatively worry-free. He defended his turtle-ownership with some explanation that involved the movie Rocky which, I have to say, did not help his case.
3. I am heading to Moto on Saturday to take pictures in the kitchen. Earlier this month, a writer for The Reader visited the kitchen and was able to “… work a shift in the famously secretive kitchen and live to tell about it.” They have a class 4 laser in the restaurant. WTF. If you caught the No Reservations episode on Chicago, Tony Bourdain visited Moto. It is the place that had a dish that resembled road kill. On purpose.

1. I agree that the song is funny and just a bit ridiculous, so i guess i’ll see ya in HELL heh heh..
2. Turtles? College? Did he have no friends?
3. I saw that episode!! His kitchen was more like a La-BOR-a-tory (say it British style- more fun). Road Kill didn’t look so good…

Denise – I’m glad you understand my point about turtles! And stay tuned for jacked up pictures from Moto’s laBORatory.
PT- Okay, I just watched that and it is kind of awesome when Cletus is running down the path. Thank you for the link!

I’m thinking the turtles brought The Italian some babes! It’s almost endearing that he had turtles.

I like turtles. Nothing wrong with having turtles…
The thing that really worries me about Jesus Take the Wheel is that Jesus lived a couple thousand years ago. Um, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know how to drive and he sure as hell doesn’t have a license. Lawbreaking Messiah!!!

if you happen across a hostess at moto that has a slicked back brown pony-tail, looks like she hasn’t slept in three weeks, has a incorrigible, abrasive attitude, and tells you that your cabs are here three times when you’re not even finished with your wine…trip her for me would you? And if possible, put some “roadkill” in her greasy hair.
thanks!

sorry, “an” incorrigible, abrasive attitude. (one of my grammar pet peeves)

I hate that fucking song.
Seriously. Ridiculous. I would NEVER let Jesus drive – hello – he didn’t know how to drive.
