Traitor!

I would now like to use this very public forum to reproach (and hopefully humiliate) a very dear friend. Today, during lunch, Sonu confessed to me that he succumbed to evil temptation, and lifted our 5 year long embargo on Tom's Diner.

I remember that fateful night well. It was Junior year, and I was studying, most likely for Stochastics (that is how I spent most evenings that semester). It was late, a little after midnight. I went to CRF to meet up with the three Starcraft playing crack monkeys. We were all hungry (I - from studying, they - from killing zerg), so we went to Tom's. The food was awful, as always. The service was even worse. And it was at that time that we all agreed to never go back to Tom's again. We were all fed up with the lousy food, the annoying tourists from the Midwest, and the rude waiters who always messed up our orders. It was a serious oath.

It was difficult at first. But soon we discovered Westway Diner - a much more genteel establishment a few blocks south on Broadway. We never spoke of Tom's again. And, things were Ok.

Now, Sonu joins Jason Giambi, Metallica, and the developers of Civ4, in the w116 hall of shame. Let the shunning begin.
