Dan, Dan, The Macheesmo Man instigated this foray to the Pizza Hut in Brentwood (that's him way in the back on the left) for a lunch-time Klatsch and we even coaxed out a coupla workin' stiffs from the TECH in the esteemed personages of Digby and Sheil. Bob had been wondering about the ethics of patronizing a large American-owned chain like Pizza Hut after we'd blathered on about how we only go to independent coffee shops -- yadda, yadda, woof, woof -- and Lawrence and Mary came to The Mayor's rescue by pointing out that the Pizza Hut tradition goes back to the pre-Klatsch days when none us had any ethics. Mary even used the term "grandfathered in" which Hizzoner appreciated. It's a term you don't hear enuff, sez he.
