4/25    Hola, I have a Potempkin Date(tm) tonight at the Kabuki theater, Sf.
        Any food recommendations in that area? Real restaurant, not burrito
        facility or equivalent. Ok tnxx. --psb
        BTW, has anyone eaten at the Parkside restaurant on 17th St?
        \_ Partha, baby darling.  Are you a good kisser?  (^_-)
        \_ What is a potempkin (sic) date? Are you trying to pass for
           straight to your parents or something?
           \_ Smack! Nice
           \- hmm, that is one interpretation of potemkin date. no, that's
              something that looks like a date but isnt. i'm the king of
              potemkin dates. anyone been to parkside? --psb
              \_ so what's the deal here? Are you paying a whore to go
                 out with you? Is that where the fake part comes in?
              \_ what's the origin of the word?
                 \- p'kin village (ukraine) -> p'kin thermostat (barrows hall)
                    -> p'kin date (psb). --psb
                 \_ In the days of Catherine the Great, her advisors came
                    up with the idea of building elaborate fake villages
                    to impress her with how well they were taking care of
                    the peasants. The inventor of this strategy was named
                    Potemkin. Now, any elaborate ruse designed to put a
                    false good front on things can be called a Potemkin
                    village.
                    \_ So this means you are trying to impress someone
                       with a fake social life?
                       \_ he's trying to impress CSUA geeks by misusing
                          a term they're unlikely to understand.
                       \_ it's possible he's attempting to meet demands
                          from source genetic material
                          \_ Hmmm. I thought psb was blonde-obsessive. That
                             does not compute, unless the source has changed
                             overall parameters.

12/4    Why are eastern european models so plentiful and hot?
        \_ By "models" do you mean cam stippers? I wonder that
           myself.
        \_ Less processed food?
        \_ Genetics. I went to Estonia this summer and that's just what
           the women there look like: light eyes, blonde or light brown

8/2     Where's the closest Chick-Fil-A to San Francisco? I need to
        go there and make out with my boyfriend.        -gay
        \_ Chick-Fil-A is a place for people who want to Fil(l)-A-Chick. :-)

4/23    I love greasy comfort food but as I'm approaching mid 30 I
        can't eat them anymore. Anyone else have the same problem?
        \_ 42 and still happily scarfing down the greasy comfort
           food, just not in the same quantities. It's a genetic
           thing.
        \_ 47 and eating greasy food, but not as much. McDonalds grosses
