Smoking! Marbled texture. Mesh potatoes and gravy. A lip SMACKER. Really RAD.
The Philosopher's Plate ……………………………………………
Art. What is it? How is it valued when it is created on the computer

You have any requests?

Dear Mr. Sanford,
Per your recent request:
We've added several new Elvis Presley selections to our jukebox.
You'll now find a broad range of Elvis' music… including his latest
(I did it on the) "I-Way" from the DUETS II Album with Frank Sinatra. Enjoy!
The Management of John's Joint -= We aim to please. =-
Dear management,
Thanks for the additional Elvis selections on the juke box. With
all the country music stinking up the airwaves and music stores, its
nice to know some people still have a soul.
On a related topic, I would like to suggest an addition to your
menu. Back in '91 Elvis hipped me to the donut scene. I quote:
"Boys, let us take a minute now to reflect upon donuts. Those waxen,
flaxen beacons of donutty goodness. The hole-in-the-middle food,
group; the rockin' around food group." A friend and I found that by
putting donuts on the antenna of "the rig," we were not only keeping
in closer contact telepathically with The King on our 5,000 mile
roadtrip, but we instantly became travelling ambassadors of goodwill
to all local, state and federal law enforcement agents we encountered
(which is important when packing heat and videotaping). When you hit
a critical speed, the donuts will magically lift from the hood, and
begin to rise up the antenna. Alternating powdered sugar covered
with chocolate gives a pleasing effect. Use the mini-donut variety,
they'll usually stay on longer. One batch lasted from Seaside, OR to
Elko, NV, until a pack of wild, theiving dogs devoured them. Another
batch lasted from Elko to Fargo, ND, even after a nasty run-in with a
squirrel and a swarm of bees.

>> Welcome to John's Joint.
WOW!!! That's one terrific menu. I had a hard time reading it through the
tears streaming from my eyes! Thank you very much for treating me to the
finest meal I've had in a long time!!!
– Dave (remind me to buy you a drink at Siggraph '95!)
"Ahem. Sir. The tears…. they fall from your eyes.
Perhaps zere are… too many un-yuns in zee CyberSalad?
I will talk to zee Chef!"
Thanks for the Bousquet of flowers, David. They make a lovely table setting.
I'm glad you enjoyed your meal. It's always a pleasure to see you.
Here. Have a couple of Angela's Cybercookies. Pass 'em out to your friends.
Kevin Gibson
Great Stuff!
Just coffee, thanks.

"Always a pleasure to see you, sir.
Here's your coffee. And a complimentary CyberCookie."
Hi ya, Mr. Computer Animator News. Glad you dropped in. I've been meaning
to call you about an idea we're tossing around here regarding the upcoming
holiday season. We're thinking of passing out special treats to our regular
customers for Christmas. Our leaning is towards your world famous
"Honey GLAZEd C.A.N.ned Hams."
Heck, I'd recommend them to anyone looking for that perfect holiday gift.
Lissen. I gotta run. Delivery truck just pulled up out back. I'll send you
an invite when we open the place for dinner. We're still working on the menu.
You really should try the Red Beans and Rights. They're very filling.
