-Hey, let's go to lunch! ... I don't care, what do you want? ... Seriously, where should we go? ... I know, let's try that new place! I heard that there's some real culinary gems over there. Like this delicate bird, I guess it tastes like fois gras ... You mean, you've never heard of l'ortolan? Wow! Maybe you should let this guy explain the concept(30MB, MPEG) before we go!
Man, this is freaking nuts. I had to look it up for myself (not that I do not believe in Stoker). I did find one website, with a few more having very little information about ortolan bunting and the late Mitterrand.
I told a few people last night about it and a few more today (unfortunately, I do not have Stoker's story telling capabilities, so I just directed people here). These are a few things that I learned these last 24 hours:
- people do not have a tendency to like to hear stories about what goes into preparing culinary delicacies (specially when it involves cute little birds or dolphins and not the ugly cows or the stupid tuna).
- people have weak stomachs. Do not tell this story while people are eating.
- people do not have a tendency to be impressed by my knowledge of this, it just sickens them. I guess that I should not tell everybody about the ortolan. Mental Note: This is not a way to pick up chicks.

Technical concepts for interested nerds:
-Yes, the camera work sucks. I've had it for only two weeks now. Javelina and the sandwich let me know already.
-it was a 90MB quicktime file, and I processed it down to a 30MB mpeg file. the video looks okay but the audio sounds kind of hollow. If I can get a hold of some software that will publish streaming windows video, I'll redo it.
