I used to like to eat breakfast out so I could get some reading and relaxing in before work. I was in often enough that the other regulars started talking to me and inviting me to visit with them at their table — so now, most days I don’t read much.
I also don’t have to place an order as the staff knows what I want and starts getting it ready when I hit the door: an Egg McMuffin, Fruit & Yogurt Parfait and Diet Coke (never mixed).

I hate being recognized as a regular. If the Mexican place I visit once a week starts recognizing me, that means they’ve also noticed that I refill my Coke/Diet Coke cup (I’m a fan of The Jenny: The Beverage) up to two times, and use their bathroom up to five times, and hang out at their tables writing on my laptop for way too long. In other words, I’m not sure they’d like The Cheryl.

That whole exchange would have made me VERY uncomfortable.

I can’t believe you didn’t do this? I want to name a sandwich! I ate there 4 times last week and got the same thing— every time. What am I chopped liver? “The Melszo” is delicious, it’s a taste sensation.. complex and yet so simple. Everyone stops to comment when they see me eating my office.

As a lonely young single man who clearly had no one to keep him neatly dressed and outfitted, I once purchased glasses at a discount eyewear chain, "America's Best Glasses and Contacts." It wasn't until several years later, when your roommate / my eventual wife took me to buy another pair that we discovered that these were, Costanza-like, women's glasses, evidenced by the name in the bows: Jenny. I trust you with my vision and my countenance; and now, my sustenance as well.

avitable: BRILLIANT! maybe it’s not too late…
ren: yeah… there was no mention of a discount. ‘sup with that?
dave2: the dave burger sounds kind of like a cheese sammich…
seamus: oh yeah – i forgot i had an alias!
shari: Shari F. don’t like it… ROCK THE CASBAH, ROCK THE CASBAH.
jess: you know i love you babe, but like beyonce always says, if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it.
fiorello: but i figure if i blow my 15 minutes on this, then i might miss my REAL 15 minutes of fame.

I’m really impressed with a woman who can give up her 15 minutes of fame. What strength of character!

Jenny, if you peruse your comment archive you might notice my pattern of proposing to you at least once (sometimes twice) a year.
This post has unexpectedly forced my hand quite early in 2009:
*Ahem*
Jenny….will you marry me [and cater our wedding with delightful fare named after thee]?

See, my middle initial is “F”, which, when paired with “Shari” often gets condensed on junkmail and applications into “Sharif”… stay with me here… which would be the perfect name for the falafel/baba ghanoush special you were talking about, so I hereby give you permission to have them name The Fake Jenny after ME. Or my misnomer, whatever.
As for The Jenny, well, I think if it came with macaroni and chopsticks, it’d be perfect.

Just go with your stage name and call it the Gina.
