Somewhat to our local shame, the body sushi thingie has been done here, repeatedly, billed as "naked sushi"

The restaurant is named, er, RAW.

Rude service was available at Durgin Park in Boston long before Dick's Last Resort ever came along.

Well, maybe the pet restaurant. As for the others, no thanks.

I'll go with "just strange" over unique. Although I think I could handle the naked sushi thing.....

Every year our club has an event called the "Bark Brunch." They have an omelet station for the dogs with everything from cheese and bacon to special little doggie treats to fold into the eggs. They serve the dogs on fine china and the people eat out of dog bowls. The event includes a "dog show" featuring members' talented canines. Pretty crazy. It's coming up at the end of the month. We always look forward to it. Little Kirby won "Best in Show" the first year.

You will not be happy when you find out that your table is a hairy Greek fellow named Priapus.

Yeah, bait-and-switch could result in a very disappointing situation.

I would have bet on that. And I've got a quarter that says Robert J. already has. :D
