Think back to the first time you and your friends tried mixing all the sodas in the pop fountain. You watched each different fizz cascade into the 64 oz. Big Gulp, mesmerized as the cola-colored puddle metamorphosed into a rust-colored, guaranteed gut-buster of a beverage. You thought to yourself, "Is this a good idea?"

And if you're anything like me, you said, "What the hell," and took a sip and even as you felt your Cheetoes and chocolate milk crawling back up your throat (with just a hint of Dr. Pepper), you swore to all your friends--you swore to God--that it was the "best thing ever made, try it, you gotta try it, just try it." And in the end, after fighting back your lunch, you decided it wasn't really that bad. And you took another sip.

That's what life is like in mredison's neighborhood. Welcome.

Bottomless?

If you pay $3 for bottomless chips and salsa at a kitchy Tex-Mex place, there should be a constant rotation of chips. As soon as you're 2/3 done with the basket, a new one, hot and fresh.

But my neighborhood joint sucks. You have to try to get a server's attention as they run to and from the kitchen. Then they look at you like you're crazy for asking for more chips. I paid $3 for what? Crappy service and an empty basket? When it comes to Mexican restaurants and chips, this is not a one-and-done, especially when you've paid for something that most places give away.
