There are quite a few of us in Chicago. I am in Indiana. ---

It, um, makes a ton of sense! It’s like . . . uh . . . uh . . . Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse! Ha! (knew I could think of one) ---

That one **does** make sense! Ruth is the owner, and Chris is her son, ergo he’s her Chris. Ha! ---

Well, I want to hop on at lunchtime in Florida, but nooooooo. Either server cannot be found, etc etc etc. I have found 7:30a on a Saturday EST is a good time. ---

Here’s the thing… _Normally_ it’s the painting that is the most interesting. I say normally because in the case of the art display that is the United States of America the frame is ten times as interesting as the painting. It’s kind of sad really, you buy this nice frame and all you’ve got is this crappy painting to put in it. Heck, as \*_featherlou_ pointed out, even the wall is better than the painting. Please don’t take offense at this, 'twas just a lame attempt at humor. I have the highest regard for those of you in the center of our country. ---

I think you Westerners just harbor a deep-seated resentment over the obvious fact that it’s the East Coast that drives the bus. Well, that and those dorky hats. ---

Yeah, if you’re going to put the blame on the people in the Pacific time zone, it’s nice to blame them all equally! Let’s see, we also need to blame dopers in Hawaii, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Baja California, parts of Alaska, and other areas that I cannot remember now. It’s not just California, California’s big but it isn’t the whole Pacific time zone. 😛 ---
