If there's disposable income to spend on alcohol, it's there to take a taxi. Alternatively, having a designated driver is still free.

Dallasites can take comfort in knowing that even as of last week blondes with breast implants were getting totally wasted in Stockholm despite the stricter drinking and driving laws.

The 0.08 evidence is based on thousands of cases and it's pretty compelling. I don't think anyone would disagree with a deterrence or alternatives program.

There's no reason to justify any alcohol while driving. I'd advocate taking the approach in Sweden and lowering the level to 0.02.

Post script: Dallas cab services still completely suck

The .08 is pretty well associated with reduced performance behind the wheel and increased numbers of accidents.

Of course, for some people this summer's must have accessory is a tin foil hat and as such, I imagine they'll disregard the evidence.

I have no special interest in the place other than it's another nearby sushi joint.

I'd agree with you that the volcano roll wasn't that great.

In the spirit of trivia, Canada and same sex, uh, sex, identify this quote:

"The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation"

Oh, googlers, it won't be there for you on the first!

Ah, yes, Canadian antics. Got married up there, yes we did.

I suppose you're right about the name. Maybe "Internet Bag Ladies Off Haldol" is the way to go.

Interesting. What was your problem with the place? I agree it isn't mind blowing, but for mid range downtown sushi, they've done well in our couple of visits. Specific fish? Cut? Temp? Rice?
