Weekend Open Thread: Here, Have Some Having What They’re Having!

This video was posted a week ago this past Tuesday — and as two days later it already had over 1.2 million views. So there’s a good chance that you had already seen it by then.  (There’s also a good chance, I suppose, that only about 1000 people had seen it, but that they’ve each watched it 1200 times.)

Slate covered it here, pasting on a flimsy recycled story idea to mask the fact that they just wanted to get clicks by posting a video of 20 women faking a simultaneous orgasm in the restaurant where Sally punked Harry.  (Big revelation: the idea for it was collaborative!)  And if it’s good enough for a big site like theirs, it’s good enough for us!

(After all that, do I really need to say “not safe for work”?)

I love living in OC, but I have to admit that this is what I miss about living in New York: absurd public pranks and really, really good delicatessen food.

Then again, our own Katella Deli in Los Alamitos is quite wonderful — fantastic potato pancakes, ferociously crisp pickles that make others brined cukes look like year-old celery and, say the women in my household, chicken fingers to die for. But I have a feeling that this sort of re-enactment (singular, plural, or highly plural) would not go over well there. So, seriously, don’t try this. (If there’s one thing I shall not do on these pages, it’s saying anything that would get me banned from Katella Deli! In contrast, what you do at Buffalo Wild Wings is up to you.)

As Gustavo apparently reads this site carefully whenever his Alt-domain is mentioned, let me suggest that the Weekly can run one of their Facebook surveys: “What’s the best restaurant in OC in which to fake a loud orgasm?”  My own suggestion: “The Catch” — but only if you’re a lobbyist.

Katella Deli fare

Don’t you even THINK about doing that here at the Katella Deli in Los Alamitos!  You disgusting monster!

This is your puckish and peckish Weekend Open Thread.  Talk about that, or anything else you’d like, within the (this week admittedly somewhat loosened) bounds of decency and decorum.  No Dearthwatch this week — although I will note that this site is back under 750,000!  (Makes one want to go out to a nice restaurant and celebrate, right?)

About Greg Diamond

Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that. Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too. He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.) His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
