Ryan Avent bears a striking resemblance to Neil Patrick Harris, who is back.

Indonesian food is pretty good.

Bars in New York are very loud and expensive, but a lot of fun with the right people.

    NPH was also back in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, wherein he has the wonderful line, “Right, it was a dick move. That’s why I’m buying you breakfast. Oh, and here’s 200 bucks, for the car . . . I made some lovestains on the back seat.”

    I’ve not had Indonesian food.

    It’s pretty similar to most other Southeast Asian food.

    I ate way too much sate sapi (skewered beef with peanut sauce).

    I’ve never had it, but I’m having a hard time imagining too much skewered beef with peanut sauce.

    It’s mostly just that the portions were larger than they seemed.

    That was a quiet New York bar! In some of them the music is so loud you have to sit next to your interlocutor and scream. Someone suggested to me it was because they were trying to make you thirsty so you’d buy more drinks.

    That’s what I figured. I really don’t see the appeal.

    I think there’s another couple of rationales: 1) if you want to talk to somebody, you have to lean way in, thereby facilitating intimacy… 2) fragmentary inananities thereby become witty conversation! thereby facilitating intimacy.

    OK, there’s one rationale: people get laid more easily.

    I find that rationale more than a bit dubious.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Someone should do a controlled experiment.
