Savage cuisine?

by Jack Grant

Although because of the narrow street I wasn’t able to get a good photo of it to truly do the sight justice, it seems that at least one restauranteur in Lyon has a good sense of humor:

Savage cuisine at the Pirate Restaurant…

Interesting. I like the crossed fork and knife.

By the way, the building you see there is at least 400 years old… which means it was 200 years old when the romanticized age of piracy reigned in the Caribbean.

Speaking of some relevant, quasi-random quotes…

by Jack Grant

…John, the proprietor of Castle Argghhh! has “Two Thoughts for Today” that encroach upon my penchant for relevant (or even irrelevant) quotes.

I’ll one up him!

Never wrestle a pig. You both get covered in mud, and the pig likes it.
-Unknown (first encountered by me in a book by Robert A. Heinlein)

Seriously, though, I do like the two that he has up, especially the second one, which speaks to something I wrote recently about the necessity sometimes to forget history.

Random quote apropos to blogworld

by Jack Grant

I’ve never seen anybody really find the answer — they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
-Ken Kesey
