More Shwarma and Some Other Tidbits

So I was pretty certain of this to begin with, but it has indeed been confirmed that Grille Point shwarma is the greatest thing to hit the USA since, well, let's just say it blows sliced bread right outta the water. If only it weren't in Queens...
In other news, my friend still gets those foolish word-of-the-day e-mails from Dictionary.com. I liked them for a while, but they got old in a hurry; they were just clogging up my mailbox. Anyway, he forwarded me today's e-mail, as there was an attractive quotation at the bottom. I acually found two noteworthy quotes: "What do you get when you cross a porcupine with an alarm clock? A stickler for punctuality." The first thing I thought was to change the joke to "what do you get when you cross a porcupine with a semi-colon? A stickler for punctuation." I will now proceed to hang my head in shame.
Anyway, the other quote was: "As far as I'm concerned, 'whom' is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler," by Calvin Triller. That was the one my friend wanted me to see. People should really be using the word "whom" more anyway. Something, a-like-a-dis-a: "With whom did you go to the movies last night?" Any time you should use the word him or her, the question should have a "whom" in it: "I went to the movies with him last night." Now go study that.
So you know when events take place and you have no control over them? For example, yesterday the Mets signed Moises Alou to a one year contract. Regardless of whether or not it's a good deal, I can't do anything about it. My response to such things is "what can you do?" I say this all the time. "The sushi is pretty bad tonight. Oh well, what can you do?" Now, my friend has a similar response to such things. His is "it is what it is." I thought long and hard about what my feelings were about this particular issue. I decided that I like it. "The sushi is pretty bad tonight. Oh well, it is what it is." As in, it (read: the sushi) is what it is (read: pretty bad). It's only good in certain situations though. I'll need to come up with a strict rule for when this is allowed. I'm gonna get to work on that. Everyone else go and be productive. Go! Git! Skedaddle! Make like a tree and go away!
