Kobe Japanese Steakhouse

I wanted to go out to eat over the weekend to celebrate my birthday with my co-workers. Looking for a celebration kind of restaurant, we settled on a hibachi grill restaurant. You know, the kind of place where they cook the food at your table because it’s a giant grill? It was really fun. A lot of people couldn’t come because I had given them really short notice and they were busy, but our entire English Department was there, as well as half of the Math Department. We took a group picture, but Peggy blocked her face with her napkin. She was embarrassed that she was looking so “smiley face” yesterday.

I told my mom that I was going to a restaurant like this and she made me promise I would get some sake. I did, Mom. Here’s my proof:

How do you toast in Japanese? I just kept saying 'Hai!'

So why is this post in the “Investigations” category? I was at the end of the table which put me to the side of the chef. I had an excellent view of the sigil he wore on his belt: The Standing Lion. I only know of one group that uses The Standing Lion in Japan. This symbol marked our chef as a member of the Japanese Illuminati. But why was the Illuminati monitoring our lunch? I will wait and see if they show themselves again…

It's hard to take surreptitious pictures of someone's pants.

    Lacking any representatives of the social studies, science or (outside of Birthday Boy himself) religion departments, I insist you have a repeat engagement some day soon and announce your date and time more than 2 minutes before you all go…that’s just my preference; I’m funny that way.

    It looks like you all had a great time, though! But I am shocked to hear there even exists a Japanese Illuminati. Next you’re going to tell me there is Japanese mafia (not that they exist ANYwhere, mind you) and no Japanese Santa or Easter bunny and…….what?…….oh, yea…never mind.

    Peggy, I love your facial – where’d you go for that?! You look a bit jaundiced, but absolutely NO wrinkles and a sunny smile to boot. Excellent!!

    I wish my mom would suggest drinks to me!

    When did you become such an expert on Japanese intrique? You’re a spy, aren’t you?

    The correct Japanese toasts depend on much sake you have.

    I am sure Rosie represented our social studies department very well. I am a bit concerned about this Japanese Iluminati…are they the ones messing with my stuff now that Robert Goulet is no longer with us?

    You have a pretty maniacal look with the sake – just how much did you have?
