I can't help it, but being out in the world presents too many Larry David moments to ignore.
After leaving a restaurant that used white linen napkins my black pants were covered with lint. My nephew mentioned that some restaurants provide black napkins upon request. His father had told him about it due to wide business traveling. Since I'd not ever seen it, I thought it might be a kind of urban legend. My husband, who has traveled extensively on business, had not seen it either. We began joking about The Black Napkin. Where? Who decides? I tried to find out more about the accuracy of the story and found a great plot for CYE.
=========================
http://www.nomenu.com/Q&A/Restaurants.html
The column is called Talk Food with Tom Fitzmorris from New Orleans:
Black Napkins
Greg asks:
I've noticed that a number of restaurants have a policy of replacing the napkin with which the table is set with a black napkin when they seat you. I've had it happen that they actually remove the white napkin from my lap and put a black on there. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. But it seems that all restaurants that do this started doing it at the same time. I think it's a secret signal of some sort to the wait staff, but I can't figure out what it's supposed to be saying. Do you know?
Tom sez:
Greg, this is another one of those questions that you wouldn't ask if you were a woman. You'd know that the black napkin is brought when the guest is wearing dark-colored clothing, in order to keep lint from the white napkin from showing on that fine little black dress. Now, I wear dark-colored suits most of the time, and never in my life noticed napkin lint. However, women have been complaining about this to me for years. I guess we guys just don't notice the line, either on ourselves or the ladies. (All the female readers are nodding right now.) It's just another service nicety in the best restaurants.

A theme in an episode: everyone thinks Larry has a drinking problem. Why?
1. He parks for the grocery in a side parking lot-- that is directly in front of a liquor store.
2. Larry does a favor for a friend who is ill (like Richard Lewis)- Larry picks up groceries for him. On the list of 5-6 things is a 12-pack of beer- and several people see LD in the checkout line. Dramatize this.
3. He needs some small boxes to store things, so he gets some small liquor boxes from the free pile of boxes at the liquor store; his friends and others see these in his car and house.
4. He meets a new friend; he and this guy really hit it off. The friend invites Larry to a social function; Larry thinks it is just a 'party'. It turns out the guy is socially inept and does not tell LD it is an AA meeting.
Many in the group are people Larry knows and works with and who SUSPECT that he has a drinking problem---- he walks in and is forced to attend the annoying meeting. Really dramatize this.
Larry is completely humiliated and branded in the community- but he does not have a drinking problem at all.
etc, etc.

Here they are L.D. : 7th season "THE 9 Cats" and "WIFE SWAP". In Wife Swap for example, Larry is enjoying his new relationship w/ Ms. Black. Jeff has committed Larry to an Episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap." Larry is cajoled into the trade and is very reluctant. However both he and Ted find the swap to be refreshing and soon both find that they are unwilling to return the others' wife. Of course they will both feign anger/ outrage as their secrets unfold.

I wonder if Larry notice as an producer that if you have a beautiful woman on any T.V. show, that the more body parts you reveal of the actress the more your ratings goes up. I also wonder if producers/makers of the show notice sometimes as visitors flipping through channels if the makers of the show have an attractive woman/actress showing her feet more often people will come back to watch. And of course we as non-perverted citizens would like for woman/actress to expose there body parts more appropriately. And feet is it. "Cheryl show your toes, I know there perfect!"

So cats are very cold, predatory evil animals imo. I do not own a cat and this might be part or all legend, but I hear that cats sometimes kill their owners.
This reminded me of a situation that often occurs in human relations.
Often cats will try to kill their owners by going on the roof of the house. The owner is likely to fall off the roof trying to rescue the cat afterwhich the cat nimbly climbs down the same way it got up on the roof. Once the owner is gone the cat claims that persons territory in the house.
I think in relationships, often one person wants to end the relationship but a) doesn't have the temerity to b) is able to but doing so would bring about many complex problems c) just can't do it d) is more (cost effective) to have something seemingly outside of human control cause the relationship to end itself. For example in business, it's much cheaper to have someone quit vs. having to fire them. If they quit, they cannot get severance pay.
I think this goes on in all kinds of relationships and some people prey on every weakness of another person to manipulate things.
For example a man and woman might live together. She gets herself in there nice and cozy, learns his secrets etc. She might deliberately do things to drive him crazy. He starts yelling when his special slippers are missing etc. and she calls the cops and they show up and they don't see all awful shit she did to him or him to her, however is the vicious one, they just see a guy yelling.
please excuse me if this idea is majorly flawed but I heard about some celeb divorces in the news and i think alot of men are really taken advantage of. I am not saying men don't take advantage too, but whatever. That's my idea. Its very dark but I thought this is the place to share dark views on the human condition.
I am 30 and live with my crazy yid mother. My father passed away a few years ago. She clearly is trying to drive me to some level of insanity where I do something stupid but I see a shrink, take good meds, etc. and know what she's up to so I just relax and laugh the way my father did, thank heavens for comedy!
I just watched "The Korean Bookie" episode where that girl steals LD's jacket and man....that just gets right to the core of the kind of thing I am talking about. What a great episode. That girl-the one that got married-is EXACTLY the kind of aggressive, evil, manipulative person I am talking about and would love to see her brought back into the fold for more explorations of the ostensibly benign dark side of wolves in sheeps clothing.
I wondered to myself, though, if HER flawed nature is do to being with a plastic surgeon who is constantly staring and looking at other women's bodies all day. Maybe she is on the ceiling/roof in that way and this in turn leads her to be the wreckless, jacket stealing/staining sociopath she is.
The most amazing thing to me about her was that she didn't think she had done anything wrong by stealing and staining Larry's jacket.
