Let's Do Lunch

"I'll have my people call your people and we'll set up a lunch."

Whether you're a high-profile Hollywood mogul or a lowly office worker wanting an hour away from the grind LUNCH is a popular mid-day break.

Lunch started as short break around the middle of the day between two more substantive meals at the beginning and ending of the day.  These days it's the social highlight of the day.

Be it a brown bag in an office lunch room.  A quick run to a fast-food joint.  Or a liesurely "business" luncheon.  Everyone stops and eats.

It might be lunch at a restaurant where they make lunch just like mom used to make...



It might be lunch in the animal kingdom.  They have to eat, too...




These guys give new meaning to "out to lunch"...



You may want to theft-proof your lunch.  Here's one way...




Some people have a liquid lunch...



Some people tie one on...



Some over eat.  The just don't know when to quit...


The Japanese give their customers a choice of fast food.  It redifines "a quickie"...


Speaking of which, here's one of my all-time favourite lunch scenes from the movies.  It's from the movie "When Harry met Sally"...





Head on over to Theme Thursday to see what other bloggers had for "lunch" today!

You know, I don't think I ever thought about when the cafeteria people ate. Those poor folk. Kids abuse them so much.

For me lunch is/was usually nothing more than a cold beer break. Worked for me.

California Girl: Yeah, but they know what went into the food! That's why you never see them eating.

I love the anti-theft bag. I would have invented something like that. I hate when people come up with my ideas before I've thought of them...d'oh!

I love lunch, but not with people. I like to grab a book or a paper and eat alone while I read. Don't know why that is, because I'm pretty social the rest of the time. Downright effusive, in fact. But lunch is me time, if I have a choice.

I love the fact that I get an entire hour for lunch, which means I can buzz home and relax with the Wonder Dog before heading back into the fray.

Uh..."Racist Corn Dog Contest"? I think that photo deserves a follow-up of some kind.

I'd think of something clever, but I'm off to lunch.

Great pictures. And the "Sally's lunch" scene is always hilarious, no matter how many times you see it. Thanks for a good lunchtime laugh.

PattiKen: Did you know that was director Rob Reiner's mother in that scene who says "I'll have what she's having"?

Freakin' hysterical. The construction dudes are just too creepy. I can't even eat in high heels.

Hey, if you want the video to fit just change the width in the beginning and end to 430 in the html before you publish the post.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

My Back Pages - October

Well, folks, I read seven (count 'em) seven books in October. One I didn't finish but even at that I hit the magic number 50 I estimated for myself by the end of the year. The six books I successfully waded through were, firstly, What Happened, Hillary Clinton's book on her bid for the Presidency. I''m a bit of a political junkie so I get off on this stuff but still it kinda struck me as one long whine over losing. Next up was the excellent Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon was the fabled area outside of Los Angeles where many musicians and artists lived. Known as a 60s enclave, the book takes a look at just who lived there over the last 80 years. A fascinating read. Next up was Lightfoot, a biography of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. He may have been responsible for some iconic folk songs but he was also quite the womanizer and boozer. Enough said. Then I read Dan Brown's new tome Origin, the fifth ...
