Overheard on the Los Angeles Board

"Overpriced noodle dishes and bread-based concoctions made [by] mediocre cooks from mainland China on expired F1 visas." – ipsedixit on what's popular these days in San Gabriel Valley

"It tasted lightly of liquefied Bac-Os ... in the vanilla shake, with the salty tears of having fallen prey to clever marketing. I sucked the whole thing down and enjoyed it. I liked it as a one-time kinky exploration, but probably wouldn't do it again. If you're bacon-curious, by all means try it so you can say you did it once when you were young and crazy." – Professor Salt on the Jack in the Box bacon milk shake

"The Indonesian/Dutch crossover that was so common [in Los Angeles] even a decade ago seems to have faded away - you used to find wooden shoes and spice pastes in the same markets, and you never had a good Indonesian meal in a restaurant in which at least one table was filled with Dutch ex-colonials reminiscing about the war." – condiment
