Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>to get to know the secret handshake.<br /><br />you have to join the pledge class.<br /><br />pledges are considered "raw" or "ungraded".... ultimately they work their way to the sought after rank of "slabbed" - and at that point they are taught the secret handshake.<br /><br />Similar to secret societies such with fearsome names like the skull and bones... <br />maybe our proper name is the dreaded and scary 'crease and paper-loss' ?<br /><br />ah - but that could be the topic of discussion for our next meeting.<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Mike- if I had to do it over again I think I would have gone with the steak, too. I didn't know what a cassoulet was and in retrospect, probably not the best dish for someone with a sensitive stomach. I took a risk...live and learn!

Posted By: <b>MikeW</b><p>Really, Barry? That looked so good. Is it possible you said something "smart" to the waiter? He seemed to have ulterior motives at times. I have a hard time trusting a waiter that grins slyly after he takes my order.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Boy, is that a throwback phrase: "slipped me a mickey." I recall hearing that for the first time as a young kid watching Bugs Bunny; invariably Bugs would either have 'slipped someone a mickey' or, in the alternative, been 'slipped a mickey.' Wonderfully descriptive term created at the term of the last century; short for "Mickey Finn." Refers to the spiking of a drink in order to knock someone out.
