'Special for Bora'

Earlier today I went up the street to Town Hall Grill and saw their white-board where they write the descriptions of Dinner Specials....and there is a new one today with the name "Special for Bora"! Wow! The perks of being a regular customer!

From now on that will always be The Bora to me.

"So, what are you cooking for dinner tonight, dad?"

"I thought we'd have Boras."

"I know, but we have some chicken left over, and I thought I'd try something different. Some new potatoes in with the veggies."

Half a fried chicken is a "light" meal?

Damned unfair! 6'1" and 125 lbs and for him, half a fried chicken *is* a light meal. I smell it and gain weight. There is no justice.
