Cute pussy!
*insert Mrs Slocum joke of choice here*
As least they try to be polite about it
sacre bleu!
Haha…it was in the movie L.A. Story with Steve Martin and hilarious…but it’s even funnier that it’s real!
He can haf ze chicken.
I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering when someone would get the cojones to turn it real.
Now… where is Patrick Stewart as a greedy French guy?
Would you like some diet floss?
One of the best movies evar!
“You seenk zat vith a financial statement like zees, you can ‘av zee duck?”
*rapping*
I’m gonna tell you,
what we got to eat,
we got primavera pasta,
and six different kinds of meat!
Gee, I’m finished and I haven’t even started yet.
They really need to update their name, since the use of “idiot” as a clinical diagnosis was eliminated in the ’50s. Even the term “mental retardation” is being phased out currently, so the current PC name should be, “L’Severe to Profound Intellectual Deficit,” or whatever that would be in French.
I’m sorry, actually that “deficit” should be “disability.” I’ve been around long enough that I really need a translation program to turn the words I learned to express things into their current accepted terminology.
Current PC terminology is “developmentally disabled”, retard.
Actually political correctness dictates the use of person-first language.
Current PC terminology is “developmentally differently abled”. Where will it end? It’s ridiculous. “Cretin” or “idiot” tell you everything you need to know in one word.
PC doesn’t concern me. My iMac is just fine, thanks.
And if I see a person with a white cane about to walk into danger, I’m going to shout “Hey, blind person!”, not stop to work out what mealy-mouthed term is in vogue.
Oh dear, I did get into such trouble at work… a visiting fatuous suit was described to me by another fatuous suit as “visually differently abled”, and I agreed that yes, she was indeed ugly. Oops. Political correctness FAIL. (What they would’ve made of the workmate who said later “I dunno, I’d've fucked her dog” I don’t know.)
“Developmentally disabled” went out of being PC years ago. Keep up, George.
What screwball ever applied that term to a person? Sounds more like a gadget prototype that doesn’t work.
In this case, the push came largely from bureaucrats, who unfortunately don’t seem to have anything better to do than change the names for things and deciding what the great new term for something should be. In the past year, the state division that governs the agency I work for has changed its name twice. I had just barely learned the first new name when they announced the change to the second, which I still literally cannot recall. I could give them quite a few new names, myself, that would be much easier to remember, but they undoubtedly wouldn’t like them!
Hmm. Sounds like you get more than just “spit” on, figuratively at least.
I can take it. I’ve been working within a dysfunctional system for many years. But the people I serve are the ones who really get **** on. (Hint: **** rhymes with spit.)
Why?!?
this is why they choose the name:
http://www.lidiotrestaurant.com/philosophy
So, they only have honest food on their menu and every table can create its own menu. Now I too see why they chose that name.
Not to mention the ending words
Maybe he/she meant this page:
http://www.lidiotrestaurant.com/our-team/service-team
Why can’t I post links? When I try to respond with one and some text, nothing gets posted (and when I select the menu link instead of the link to the .pdf file).
Anyway, on the site, click on menu and select Tasting Menu (which itself already sounds weird. Yes, I’d like to taste your menu please. I guess it’s a restaurant for idiots). Some weird things like “molten cake”. Now perhaps that’s normal, I don’t know since my native language isn’t English.
Sometimes the automatic filter on the site blocks them. Sometimes they don’t show up for a while. I haven’t figured out a pattern as to what can go through and what can’t.
Molten lava cake (or molten chocolate cake) are real. The filling is still a bit solft, as if it were molten, like lava.
… a bit soft …
Chocolate lava cake is quite good if done correctly.
A tasting menu is where you can try bits of different dishes, instead of having just an appetizer and an entree. It’s an opportunity to try a little of everything, or at leasts a little of several things of their choosing. Rather than a full plate, it’s just a taste. Have enough tastes, and it can constitute a meal.
Doesn’t even have to be a link! I tried to post something recently where I mentioned a website- OK, it’s a porn site, but I was trying to make a point- and that message disappeared. That filter must be set really fine.
Maybe it’s like a “lava cake”…Appears to be an inividual size sponge cake with no icing or decoration and served hot, but when you break into it a thick, sweet pudding oozes out.
Hahaa! So it IS PORN you speak of
…I think I’ll skip dessert…Market Day was never so…
Sounds a lot like a penis-shaped cake sometimes sold here as a Rum Baba. I LOVE those! *disclaimer- not because of the shape* Never tried one hot, though.
“Service Team: Be back soon”
That’s typical L’Idiot service…
I guess L’existentialist was taken…
For classy idiots, we use French!
I wonder if they have home breed young a$$ meat on the menu…
ATTENTION PARENTS: if you are one of those brain-dead morons who thinks that it’s perfectly acceptable to take your small children out to eat and let them run riot in the cafe or restaurant whilst you ignore them, smile indulgently or take umbrage when staff ask you politely to control your destructive offspring – THIS RESTAURANT IS FOR YOU.
I hate those people.
When I was young, on the handful of occasions that I acted up in restaurants, I was taken to the car with one parent while the other parent finished their dinner in peace. My father’s philosophy on this was “the people in there did not go out to dinner so they could listen to you have a tantrum.” Would that everyone had that approach …
Ditto here – we were always on our best behaviour if we were taken out to eat as kids, because anything except perfect manners would result in being removed and suffering the consequences.
Exactly. I learned pretty quickly. Not sure why people today can’t.
This actually made me giggle. I’m not sure I’d eat there, though…
I bet this place has dumb-waiters.
I am choosing to believe that you mean “the waiters don’t speak”, because I cannot imagine that you would be in a hurry to go back to Dreadful Pun Hell.
I do believe that was a pun having to do with mentally challenged waiters and dumwaiters, those things that go from floor to floor of houses usually trasportign clothes and food and little children to steal game boards from the basement, where aliens are hogging all the stuff to burn. I HAZ A RUN-ON SENTENCE AND I’M QUITE MAD YOU SEE! BAHAHAHAHAHA! frog in the hole, wot wot tally-hoo!
I fail to see how this qualifies as Engrish though… because idiot is a French word and has basically the same meaning in French and English…
?
I think the caption here applies to your concern. So what if its not Engrish- it’s funny!
Franglais! J’aime beaucoup le franglais, je crois que c’est bloody hilarious. C’est la langue que les Poms parlent when sur les holidays, pour example “Ou est le bloody ferry terminal?”
Incredibly surreal comment, dr_handle! I wonder how many times I’ll have to read it before it no longer makes me laugh?
You’re little, and an idiot… I think I’ll call you… THE LIDIOT!!
Crimson Chin Win!
YES! I’m not the only total dork!
Am I the only one that thinks that photograph is a blatant photoshop??
The way the letters stand out and the contrst on the colours compared to the rest of the photo…..? no? Just me??
Damn…… maybe I’m l’idiot!! ;o)
The letters stand out? They look 3-dimensional to me. I don’t see Photoshop.
Is your name supposed to be dummkopf, or is dumpkoff a rare euphemism for “fart”.
Deutschlish WIN!
Flançaisl ol
Is it really for idiots?
There is a wapanese habit of trying to make their shops and businesses sound up market by adding french names – just by pulling names out of the dictionary…. Sort of “oh, that sounds nice” and not going any further and actually wondering what is *really* means…
What does “wapanese” mean?
It means originating in Wapan, obviously.
Daniel is speaking Wangrish.
Anybody here speaks zangobgulian?
I speak “Romance in Durango” – Bob Dylan. Is that close enough?
♫ No llores, mi querida
Dios nos vigila
Soon the horse will take us to Durango. ♫
siwy hobbes. he’s no better than that pwesky wabbit.
omg i think i’ve seen that before o.O
is that in taiwan?
It sure is . .
I don’t get what’s funny about this, there’s nothing wrong with it.
There is a restaurant in LA called “La Poubelle” (the trash bin), it’s in the same spirit.
In “L.A. Story” Steve Martin goes through hell to get a reservation at a restaurant called L’Idiot.
LOL – I’ve eaten there!! – It’s really overpriced and very odd, but the company was paying . . .
idiot
DD lol
Hmmm, how’s the service?
