1. Salad course
2. Hors d’oeuvres
3. Soup course
4. Self-loathing
5. Meat course
6. Staring into the void contemplating this thing we call life that is really a blip on the radar of an infinite timeline which stretches backwards and forwards to infinity leaving you with a sense that you are nothing and will always be nothing despite what any deities real and unreal tell you.
7. Dessert.

This is a damn good thread... keep it going lol...

BTW, #2 is French for "***** bent over". Its good to have a little exercise between courses... burn some calories, etc.

so this is also where the phrase “from soup to nuts” originated?

i remember starting work at northrop in 2002 and i had two colleagues that used to always use that phrase —

finally o had to ask what the hell it meant :)

i couldn’t fathom how those words expressed any meaningful range in f activities or - why the hell you’d eat nuts after your soup


turns out i was just ign’ant

and i’m all about good food baby -
probably get TOO excited about it ....


back to getting educated now - ;)

I worked with a guy that always said the whole nine yards. That must be cubic yards or something because it certainly isn't football. Now that I looked it up I feel stupid.

The bullets for the machine guns used in American combat planes of WW2
and since were in chains twenty-seven feet in length. Thus if a pilot was able to fire all his bullets off at one target he was said to have given his adversary 'the full nine yards'.
