The Dude abides

I get a kick out of chatting with the undergrads.  A couple days ago, I passed on one of their quips, and got a 15-second installment (titled "Rimshot") on my lifetime allotment of fame. 

Today one of our workstudy kids reminded me that the manly virtures persist down through the generations.  "That ‘all-you-can-eat’ deal at IHOP isn’t so great" he said, "after about 12 pancakes, you’re full."  My kind of guy.

Update (24 February).  This young lady demonstrates why you might want to eat 12 pancakes on a regular basis.  Tip from the Instapundit.
