Are you a man or a chicken?

Went to a vendor dinner last night with Kirk and a bunch a people from the materials team. The dinner was at a really nice Thai restaurant called Sukho Thai and consisted of a lot of seafood and wine. The courses, mostly in order, were a large fried oyster, fried soft shell crab, a slightly spicy broth with salmon, some other kind of steamed fish, lobster, beef curry and rice, noodles with seafood, and then fruit and a mysterious ice/milk dessert with assorted chewy things in it.

Along with all the food, there was plenty of wine and whiskey. Everyone toasts each other and drinks (and by toast I mean you toast each person separately and drink each time), and then people 'gan bei' which is kind of like saying 'cheers' except everyone has to drink everything in their glass whether it be wine or whiskey. The title of the post refers to what woman said to a guy she had gan bei'd when he tried to avoid drinking anything else.

Needless to say, people were drinking a lot and we were treated to an impromptu karaoke performance of a Bon Jovi song, a couple of people had their heads on the table, and at least one person needed some assistance walking out of the restaurant. Gotta say it was a fun night.
