Boycott PARKSIDE Restaurant on 6th Street UPDATE: Now you can help Best Wurst recoup there legal fees…   Susan Kwasniak August 23 at 3:40pm: We succeeded in keeping Best Wurst on 6th. But,the legal fees came to $15,000 an awful lot for a small business. If all 3,000 members of this group contribute $5, we can pay off the cost of the lawyers.Oh, and if you want to refrain from going to Parkside, that would make me happy too!We’ve set up a fundraiser to help cover those costs.

Lunch Menu Review – Shoal Creek Saloon’s Chicken Fried Steak Monday Special

To promote the little day-job shindig she’d created a flyer with a picture of Star Trek’s Jean Luc Picard all Borged-out with the caption, “Mind Meld with Miles.” This was of course a gentle ribbing at my being such a brainy SciFi kind of guy, being into UFOs and whatnot. I still find her meme-melding of Vulcan mind-transference with cyBorgian assimilation to be rather cute, bridging the gap between Original and Next Generation Treks.
