    I'd say that "Burrito Bar" is an acceptable thing to not say ever again, but the two terms, individually, should probably not be banned. I don't really know why I'd go on living if I couldn't talk about burritos or bars anymore.

    B-b-but if we ban the mention of the place, how would we talk about how to find the happy hour or whatever?! Be reasonable, man! :wink:

    I say we ban the phrase "Crazy Lane"

    banning words = banning books

    sorry to create a kerfluffle ... (i'd much rather be canoodling ... hmmm, come to think of it ... see ya ... )
