Lunch Bits – Edition 7

We went to Fukada last friday. It was a cloudy day when we talked about:

Meaning of Halal and Kosher.
4 out of 5 of us have the Toshiba HD DVD player. With the future of HD-DVD uncertain, the one co-worker who’s holding out may be making the best decision.

Kids love Guitar Hero. Kids love the Wii too. Xbox360 fanbois like to talk about achievement points.
Possibility of buying a house in Newport Beach. Maybe not the ones with an ocean view.
Skiing. I haven’t ski’ed in ages.

One of us said (paraphrasing), “Anyone who married a prince ended up getting fat, unhappy, or divorced.” Then I quipped, “That’s better than dead.”
