Fantastic word game

Chevy Chase has a city named after him in Maryland!

Dear me, Silkie takes the spot.

A pretty funny character actor like Chevy Chase can aspire to have a city named after him, as long as it's in Maryland.
 
Maryland is but one place called by the name Chevy Chase, but the name comes from the ancient Scottish "Ballad of Chevy Chase" which refers to a hunt in the Cheviot Hills, which are on the border between England and Scotland.
 
The British Empire once extended into Africa and the Middle East, but today is mainly what tourists and outsiders know as the current United Kingdom.

[size=8pt]And no, Ireland is not a British territory (Tuaiscert Éireann excepting.) Hasn't been for years.

The name "Chevy Chase" was taken from one of the absorbed plots of land. Its name in turn, according to the Village of Chevy Chase's official history, can be traced to the larger tract of land called "Cheivy Chace" that was patented to Colonel Joseph Belt from Lord Baltimore on July 10, 1725. It has historic associations to a 1388 battle between Lord Percy of England and Earl Douglas of Scotland. At issue in this "chevauchée" (a French word describing a border raid) were hunting grounds or a "chace" in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland and Otterburn.

Besides, if I were a comedian (who says I'm not?) I'd much prefer to be billed as "Chevy Fox" than "Cornelius Fox".
 
United Kingdom countries all seem to be overcast and rainy much of the time, judging from shows like "Waiting for God" and "Last of the Summer Wine," both of which are funny shows in their own rights.
 
Rights granted unto you by the Constitution provide for freedom of speech, the bearing of arms, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I don't feel like listing at this hour on a Saturday morning.
 
Duty calls is a little bit too much information, quad, but since you brought it up, I hope you remembered to flush and wash your hands.


;D
 
Flush and wash your hands before returning to work, or the health inspector will skin you alive.

[size=8pt]I'm a restaurant industry survivor expatriate. I've seen it happen. *sobs* The humanity.... *starts crying* it was dreadful...just dreadful.......

*exits stage left*
 
Dude, in most cases, if you know how to talk to the health inspectors I used to know (most of them have a favorite ball team or other thing to distract them from looking too hard at your shortcomings), then you can get some leeway, and even if they write down "Employee did not wash hands after going to the bathroom" it won't cost you more than a point.

But you still might end up on the local news station, since they like to recite public records like restaurant inspection scores as often as they can.
 
More than a point will be deducted if the health inspectors find your employees having relations on the tables.


Quad, I remember from my time (10 years ago now and still miss it) in your state that the local station always mentioned that week's restaurant health inspection scores. Some were, on occasion, pretty bad. None were any that I may have frequented.
 
Relations on the tables would likely get you shut down, but you'll probably just get blank stares and a lot of "Ohnodayditant!" if your off-the-clock relationship-building exercises cause you to spill someone else's $9 drinks at some clubs.

The Newsreaders act like there are "surprises" when they list the restaurant sanitation ratings, like when a country club or a fancy restaurant gets a B, but it's usually in the upper B's, and they regrade it to an A. And then you gotta think, at any given moment, sometimes restaurants are short-staffed, so that costs them points, but sometimes they are just sloppy and take shortcuts, and that costs them points. People usually can tell, over time, which places habitually groom themselves at the register, leave their refrigerators open, and store their raw meats over their flour bins and dead birds in the freezer.
 
$9 drinks at some clubs are, at other clubs $399 drinks, but then some clubs live larger than other clubs.
 
Clubs vary in what they offer to their patrons be it Under 18 entertainment or watered down drinks to their disc jockeys.
 
Watered down drinks to their disc jockeys are at best a comped way to show appreciation for the dj's contribution to the club; at worst, a high-profit way of maximizing profits while mocking the dj without their knowledge.
 
Without their knowledge of good entertainment, PowerWorld's own club officers would not have been able to book the lovely ON-J for years to come.


Tomorrow is move-out day for the Feb vacation session. Anyone with an extra hour or two is more than welcome to drop into band camp to assist the band campers and their families with whatever is necessary. Thanks to the band camp staff for a great session. Thanks to Miss Silkie for feeding the move-out troops.
 
In MBA classes the world over one of the more difficult theses is the mastery over a sour puss in business, especially among the more coddled and sperlt rotten, who think business is nothing more than unchallenged gain by use of innocents for mortgages, college educations, junkets, cars, whatever your pleasure.
