He's an adult! More or less:D
We're going out for a Brazillian style steak house to load up on
massive amounts of meat. http://www.boinabraza.com/

    In PA & Delaware the legal term is emacipated!

    There is a Brazillian restaurant in Manhatten, all you can eat, every kind of meat, seafood and Brazillian delicacy. Is this the same franchise?

    This reminds of my drive home last night. I'm driving along in stop-n-go traffic when a car goes blowing by me only to be stopped in traffic. Written in bold pink letters all over the windows of the car was "I'm 18 and finally legal", "finally legal, woo hoo" Of course there we 2 chicks in the car with the tunes blaring, not a care in the world. Needless to say many cars were weaving in and out of traffic to keep up with them.

    I guess be blessed you have a male and not a female. I would kill my daughter (if I had one) if she drove around town in a car with that painted on the windows. As a red blooded male it was funny, but as a parent, aye, aye, aye :eek: .

    Almost the same. There are three different ones around here with different
    names. I went to one in Addison, TX. with son #1 and the rest of the
    family a few years ago. The Mrs. was disgusted. She will only go to this one because
    they will sell her just the salad bar!

    Boys are much better in many ways when you are a parent. When they go out at night, as long as
    they come home without a police escort or a blood trail, everything is ok.
    #2 is much quieter than #1 was at this age.
    At 25, son #1 just starting to come out of his funk. He thinks things
    through instead of just rushing in.

    God gave me two boys cause He knew that if I had a girl, I would have a nervious breakdown when she started to aproach 12. I would have had a baseball bat by the door so that every time one of those little horny teen age boys would come to the door I would answer it with the bat on my shoulder. See I remember what I was like at that age and would be a paranoid loony if she went out without her double thick chastity belt.

    Which one did you go to in Addison? Texas de Brazil or Fogo de Caio? Fogo is much better IMO, Texas de Brazil isn't nearly as good, yet seems to do well and it's right across the street almost...

    Fogo de Caio.

    Anywhere they bring meat on a skewer is my kind of place.

    We have a Brazilian steakhouse named "Geen Forest" here in Pittsburgh. Meet on big skewers (swords), buffet dining, the wood bolock has a red colored side and a green side. Green side up means to keep brining the food, red side up means no food. They have these Brazilian drinks that taste like lighter fluid and fruit juice. Real potent and flammable!:D

    Congrats....give him the talk...boys tend to think they are
    invinceable at that age.Still,boys are soooo much easier than
    girls.Boy-baseball mitt,old ripped up jeans,and a mud puddle,and they are happier than shite.
    Girls-have to have the most current line of clothes,shoes to match,purse,
    ear rings,necklace,hair done,nails done,tanning,and still whine about one thing or another.Be thankfull for the boys....congrats again.

    I heard this from one of the pilots I work with about having boys instead of girls...."With a boy, you only have to worry about his ****. With a girl, you need to worry about all of the other penises."

    God I hope I have a boy when the time comes....Don't think I could handle a daughter, I have enough problems with a younger sister.....

    Well, I'm full!
    Yes,big heaping piles of meat!
    And more meat.
    and a salad bar.
    And more meat.
    Then, desert.
    THEN COMES THE BILL......ouch.
    I think he enjoyed it.
    They tend to keep it coming, even when the red side is up!
    We hit the place early, only two tables were filled.
    The supper crowd doesn't come out big till 7 pm here in Dallas.
    There was some broad at the next table sporting HUGE melons.
    I was being good. Tried not to notice. Easy when your stuffed.
    Overall, I guess the mother's day/birthday outing was a success.

    I've not eaten at Foga or Bion. I definitely need to though. Oh to be 18 again. I've got 7 more years before I kick my first one out of the nest.
