<div>Carvings generally fall into <s>three</s> <s>four</s> a bunch of categories: Wilbur trays, "Tray of" trays, tray puns, Cult of Tom trays, trays with pictures, and...other trays.<br />
<br />
==Wilbur...==<br />
<br />
(An unlikely but intriguing possible source for the great resentment towards Wilbur may be the late 19th century serialized novel "Wilbur of Williams", [note: title may need correcting] which can be found in the Williams Archives. It is, naturally, a romance. Jealousy, perhaps?) <br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know where the story above came from but this is the true story. Once upon a time, there was a Williams student who was named Wilbur, and he sucked. To spread the word about how much Wilbur sucked, his friends took the time during meals to carve reminders for other Williams students on Mission and later Greylock trays. They later became creative outlets for people give other examples of how much Wilbur sucked. Wilbur graduated years ago, but was succeeded by another Wilbur (his brother) who sucked even more. This Wilbur's friends brought the Wilbur Sucks message into the digital age and started the Wilbur Sucks facebook.com group. Everyone is encouraged to join and will receive a Wilbur Sucks nickname upon entry. <br />

===I, WILBUR: The Truth Behind the Trays.===<br />
<br />
I feel I must set the record straight. While well-meaning and reasonably thorough, the previous entry is incorrect at least partially. I write for and represent the group of individuals who began, begat, and beset upon the world the Wilbur Tray Series. At its pinnacle, the Series exceeded about 150 Trays and up to almost 20 people were involved in the creative process surrounding the manufacture of each Tray. We knew Wilbur. We were his roommates, his teammates, his friends. To begin with, Wilbur did not suck in many aspects of life. He worked hard at school and had, in my humble opinion, a solid GPA. He was a fast and strong lacrosse player, he dated a pretty, smart, athletic girl, and it’s rumored that he fucked DeRosa’s girlfriend. Of course, this is a highly simplified and generic view of Wilbur. In truth, he worked too hard and his scholastic diligence often caused him to miss nights of beirut and general tomfoolery. His lacrosse game relied upon his quick first step and he was oft-injured after his stellar junior year. His girlfriend throughout college was terrified of us and we substantiated rumors that Wilbur had cut her tongue out, eradicating her power of speech. Please forgive my candid tone. Wilbur was, is, our friend. He once drank a bottle of gin and insisted we shoot him point blank in the chest with a pellet gun, a request we obliged more than a few times. However, he also missed the amHerst game his senior year because he had to take the MCATs and would not reschedule them. It was also famed coach Renzie Lamb’s final home game. We won despite the absence of Wilbur’s power sweep and played amHerst again the following day in the first round of the playoffs. Back from his MCATs and freshly rested, Wilbur made it to the Herst to help us out with the speed we needed. We lost by 2 goals. Poor Wilbur, he will read this. However, he is emotionless. He has no pity, no remorse. It is what prompted his nickname: The Automaton.<br />
<br />
When we were sophomores, we lived in Mission Park. Dennett, 4th floor, to <br />
be exact. This was in ‘01-’02, prior to the renovations that made that cinder block a desirable place to live. We were often bored, cooped up in our hallway, with its firedoors and dull lighting. We had no common room. For the most part, we amused ourselves by imbibing inappropriate amounts of Fleischman’s gin and case after case of our beloved Busch Light and P.B.R. At the time, there were six of us: Bee, The Automaton, Radar, Rack, Kam, and me. I’m Mojo. I don’t recall the date specifically, but it was maybe <br />
mid-way through the first semester. September 11th had numbed us all. A couple of us had just ended long-standing relationships, others had begun new ones. All in all, we were reliant upon one another, as friends and cohabitants, for entertainment and solace both of which often occurred in the form of a mean bender. As I said before, Wilbur was sometimes a serious part of our steam-letting. More often than not, however, it seemed he was not. Living and eating in Mission while our friend was seldom around and <br />
not enthused by our shenanigans prompted us to adopt a mantra: Wilbur Sucks. <br />
We’d be at ‘family dinner’, when all 6 of us would be eating at that infamous, now famous, dining hall. “Where’s Wilbur?â€, someone would ask. “I think he and Kristin had to study and were having dinner at Doddâ€, someone would reply. “Man,†one of us would interject, “Wilbur SUCKS.†Everyone would nod in agreement over their Upscale Pizza or salad bowl.<br />
<br />
Please realize, this wasn’t said out of real spite or hatred. He was our friend. But he went above and beyond to piss us right off. So it began. Inspired by the occasional carving we’d see on those oddly-shaped Mission Trays (‘peneTraytion’ was a favorite) Kam and I set to writing “WILBUR SUCKS†into the Trays. Kam’s carving tool of choice was his fork, which he would rinse, in a short ritual, in the remains of his drinking water before scratching his lower-case print into the beige plastic. I carried a Swiss Army knife in my pocket attached to my keys. Its awl provided a precise sharp point with which I etched our legacy in a fine-lined, all-caps print. While Rack often had football practice, he enjoyed long meals and was present for much of our inscribing. Bee and Rade were fully loyal to the cause, brainstorming new ideas and even scratching out the occasional work for the good of our ouevre. So, in Mission it began. White flakes and filings curling from the already scratched Trays as our fingers ached under the pressure we applied to make our mark. We took pride when we’d get our own Trays at meals. We would reach for one of the stacks and flip the Tray over eagerly, anticipating a rare find like the elusive XVI or one of the original unnumbereds. Often times, right out of the wash, the marks were hard to read until the Tray dried. This was especially true of my narrower grooves. However, what we truly loved, what got us beaming from deepinside, was waiting in line for a new batch of chicken fingers to emerge from the scullery and hearing groups of friend around us delight in their finds.<br />
<br />
“Hey, Vlad, I got one of those Wilbur Trays!â€<br />
<br />
“That’s great, Jeb, I got number twelve. Who is this poor bastard?â€<br />
<br />
“I don’t know, Vladdy, but apparently he sucks, huh?â€<br />
<br />
“Yup.â€<br />
<br />
And so our days were brightened.<br />
<br />
All in all, we don’t know exactly how many Wilbur Trays we finished that year and I was sidelined from my work for 6 weeks with a broken right index finger, my carving finger, but our estimates range from about 85-100. We started with just “Wilbur Sucksâ€. Over and over, we etched these letters with as much variety as we could muster, with the hopes of covering every piece of flat serving plastic we could get our defacingly creative mitts on. We were unknowing followers of Haring, Basquiat, and, eventually, the Romans. We started to want to catalogue our history, numbering the Trays from the numeral I. Each was different and we were sure to pass on to one another which we made so we’d know which consecutive number to carve at our next earliest convenience. The simple beginnings morphed into limited edition Trays such as the infamous “Seventeen Lambda†so named for the slip of the fork which caused a lambda-esque mark. These were the Limited Edition Mission Trays:<br />

<br />
Upon the completion of sophomore year, and the final realization that we’d made it out of Mission alive, we left our Trays behind us, but with the knowledge that Wilbur’s little brother would be joining us the following fall. We also knew that the chances of his living in Mission would be great and that his mates and he would be reminded, daily, about his unfortunate genetic malady.<br />
<br />
Junior year saw me off to Melbourne, Australia, away from the friends and co-artists with whom I’d lived in such close proximity. I missed a whole football season and Rack’s shaved head. My return coincided with Kam’s month-long departure for the duration of Winter Study. My artistic soul pined for his return. However, I found another interesting lot of people. Men I knew from the previous two years, people like The Dog and Gregor, who now lived with Radar and Rack placing them closer to me and to my heart. Gregor’s ascerbic humor and outlook on life provided a solid sounding board for The Dog’s anger over the “Girlfriend incident. Coupled with the usual spark from Radar and the sage judgement from Rack, this was a veritable breeding ground for new Wilbur insults. I was also now living with Goose, whose objective disgust of Wilbur was helpful in balancing our strong bias, as well as Kam, Bee, and of course, the Robot himself, as well as a handful of others: Doc, whose bizarre, no-holds-barred razzing meshed seamlessly with the work of Deaner, Blakely, and more. It was upon Kam’s return that our now enlarged force set to work bouncing ideas off of one another like a New York City taxi passenger against the door frame. We decided that the Wilbur legend must persist in the red brick confines of Greylock Dining Hall. So it was. We decided to put aside our sophomoric yet accurate decree and focus on slightly more pithy, witty, timely, and thought-provoking Trays. Ideas were suggested, shot down, modified until they evolved into the Greylock series. Here is what we recall, in no particular order:<br />

It was our hope, after all our effort, that we would one day be able to reclaim the Trays we had defaced in the name of art and information dispersal. However, upon inquiry into the matter before a Greylock meal during my senior year, I learned that Wilbur Trays were being systematically destroyed by the Dining Hall Staff and Services so as to prevent futher “vandalizing†by the unknown assailants of the beige plastic. I was crushed. Our Warholian workshop of Wilbur wailing was wasted. I sometimes wonder about the definitions of art. Part of my Williams number-one-liberal-arts-school-education focused on that very topic. If it once was, but is no longer, is it art? Is the concept itself art? Without the originals, is it art? Yes, yes. A thousand times, yes.<br />

== Cult of Tom ==<br />
* Cult of Tom<br />
* Cult of <s>Tom</s> Tom<br />
* Cult of <s>Tom</s> <s>Tom</s> Tom<br />
:''and so on . . .''<br />
<br />
The Cult of Tom story orginated in 2000 when Tom Fleming ('00) and Jeff Grant ('00) were talking to each other and realized that people would wear pretty much any free T-shirt. Thus, Tom decided he could start his own cult merely by printing up shirts that said "Cult of Tom" and distributing them. The only rule for the Cult of Tom was that you must wear the T-shirt. <br />
<br />
Then, Tom asked everybody with the shirt to wear it and come to his thesis defense to ask questions (perhaps silly questions or pre-arranged really intelligent ones). It was afterwards that "Cult of Tom" began being scratched onto Driscoll trays.<br />
<br />
This is where the story diverges. Some say that Tom Stackpole ('01) got jealous and scratched out the orignal Tom and put his own name in. Others say that a friend of Tom's started the corrections, and thereby created a new Cult of Tom (Stackpole). At any rate, the original Cult of Tom supporters were angry, and scratched out the new Tom and replaced it with the old Tom. As a result, the system of odd-even number of Toms was created. An odd number of Toms meant Tom Fleming, and even numbers were Tom Stackpole. <br />

==Sledding trays==<br />
<br />
Trays that have been stolen and used as sleds often have shallow or deep grooves in the bottom, running parallel to the long axis of the tray. This is courtesy of the rocks buried underneath the snow that Williams students sled on. Rocks: not your ordinary tray carvers.</div>137.165.202.208https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Skills&diff=4246Skills2005-11-06T02:44:18Z<p>137.165.202.208: </p>

===Sweet Jumps===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez] likes to go as fast as he can when he sees speed bumps and likes to think he gets an inch or two of air in his 2-ton SUV every time.<br />
<br />
===Change a Tire===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcap-removal tool into the jammed area and whack the crap out of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky, that wheel will pop right off.<br />
<br />
===Jumpstart a Car===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has also had his fair share of car jumpstarts and knows not to connect the black plug to red and red plug to black. If you do, you will blow the battery fuse in your fusebox and burn out some expensive component in your car. Through his learning processes, he found just how costly it is to replace the stock amp that powers your stereo.<br />

=== Parallel Park ===<br />
<br />
[[Jonathan Landsman]], native New Yorker, has parked in spots so tight that getting in and out depended on using room provided by nudging cars parked in front and behind, counting on the flexibility of their shocks. His record in Williamstown was set when moving into his [[Morgan#East|Morgan East]] room for the [[Summer 2004|Summer of 2004]], when he parked at the top of [[Spring Street]], leaving enough room on either end of the car to fit one finger, but not two.<br />

===Drive Really Fast In Reverse===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dsf Danny Fischler] once pulled a k-turn, maxing at around 20mph, across the width of a freeway entrance. With [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06rmb Becky frickin' Burditt] in the back seat. Ca-raaaaaazy.<br />
<br />
===Sweet Jumps===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez] likes to go as fast as he can when he sees speed bumps and likes to think he gets an inch or two of air in his 2-ton SUV every time.<br />
<br />
===Change a Tire===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcap-removal tool into the jammed area and whack the crap out of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky, that wheel will pop right off.<br />
<br />
===Jumpstart a Car===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has also had his fair share of car jumpstarts and knows not to connect the black plug to red and red plug to black. If you do, you will blow the battery fuse in your fusebox and burn out some expensive component in your car. Through his learning processes, he found just how costly it is to replace the stock amp that powers your stereo.<br />

<br />
=== Parallel Park ===<br />
<br />
[[Jonathan Landsman]], native New Yorker, has parked in spots so tight that getting in and out depended on using room provided by nudging cars parked in front and behind, counting on the flexibility of their shocks. His record in Williamstown was set when moving into his [[Morgan#East|Morgan East]] room for the [[Summer 2004|Summer of 2004]], when he parked at the top of [[Spring Street]], leaving enough room on either end of the car to fit one finger, but not two.<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez] is also a native New Yorker and often takes it upon himself to giggle at the non-city folk that have such a tough time parking in huge spots on Spring Street.<br />

===Change a Tire===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcap-removal tool into the jammed area and whack the crap out of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky, that wheel will pop right off.<br />
<br />
===Jumpstart a Car===<br />
<br />
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has also had his fair share of car jumpstarts and knows not to connect the black plug to red and red plug to black. If you do, you will blow the battery fuse in your fusebox and burn out some expensive component in your car. Through his learning processes, he found just how costly it is to replace the stock amp that powers your stereo.<br />

=== Parallel Park ===<br />
<br />
[[Jonathan Landsman]], native New Yorker, has parked in spots so tight that getting in and out depended on using room provided by nudging cars parked in front and behind, counting on the flexibility of their shocks. His record in Williamstown was set when moving into his [[Morgan#East|Morgan East]] room for the [[Summer 2004|Summer of 2004]], when he parked at the top of [[Spring Street]], leaving enough room on either end of the car to fit one finger, but not two.<br />

<br />
WSO/wiki is hosted by [[Williams Students Online]] and is not officially related to the college. It uses [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/ MediaWiki], the same software that powers the free and famous [[Wikipedia:Main page|Wikipedia]]. A Wiki is a site with many informative articles that anyone can edit. Feel free to contribute! We want this site to become a definitive source of information about Williams. Articles, biographies, stories, and how-to's are welcome, and on nearly any subject: buildings, people, organizations, classes, computing, hiking, anything of, about, or near the college. To edit an article, click "Edit this page" at the bottom of the article. To create a new article, there first needs to be a link to it; you can edit an existing, related article to create that link. You will probably want to consult [[Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page|Wikipedia's editing guide]] to learn the proper syntax. Feel free to experiment in the [[Sandbox]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The Mad Cow is Williams' premier humor magazine, and its second oldest student publication ([[Literary Review]] being the oldest). It puts out issues once a semester, hopefully before finals, and can be picked up for free at a dining hall near you!<br />
<br />
History: <br />
<br />
It started in 1907 with a group of literary gents and that infamous poem. <br />
The [[Purple Cow]], the original Williams humor magazine with the harlequin and holstein cover, was loved proudly for half a century. Somewhere in the 40s, it paused for WWII, and somewhere in the 50s picked up a few colors of ink beyond the original purple. In 1960, all vestiges of a humor magazine at Williams mysteriously went extinct. They stayed that way into the early 90s, which priefly served up the spoof magazine Beeph. <br />
<br />
Jump ahead a few years to [[Winter Study]] of 1998. Inspired by Paul Park's parody class, an intrepid band of idealistic young whippersnappers with time on their hands decided to try and bring back the glory days of old. Sure enough, later that spring, an elite cadre Scotch-taped their idea of a humor magazine over the depths of cyberspace. And there was much rejoicing, among the three people who read it.<br />
<br />
These words come to us from the ancestors who lived through the historical days of the inception and birth of the first Mad Cow. The Spring 1998 issue was published only on the internet, and the first printed issue was published in Winter 1998. After that, there has been an issue published on nice shiny paper every semester, with perhaps one exception. We can’t really figure out which semester went Cow-less, because some issues have the unfortunate tendency to print years on the cover that don’t necessarily match those on the title page.<br />
<br />
It was for the Mad Cow that the word “derecognize†was coined in 2001. In the Spring of that year, the magazine published a list of departmental pick-up lines that were of questionable taste. The staff worried that campus would not take kindly to this crude humor. However, most concentrated on the ‘Hans Oji’s’ article, which satirized the then-new post of CC MinCo representative. For this, CC threatened to derecognize the whole organization. The editors realized the need to be more sensitive to the feelings of the campus community. From that issue forth, the Mad Cow has asked volunteers to ‘test-read’ its articles for things that may be hurtful, and publishes a disclaimer in the front of each issue. Volunteers to test-read can be made by emailing madcow@wso.williams.edu.<br />
<br />
The Mad Cow has gone through several editorial dynasties, beginning with the reign of David Ramos '99, who soon turned the reins over to Seth Brown and Art Munson (both ’01), followed by Josh Ain, Rachelle Hassan, and Jenny McElroy (‘03s). In 2003/2004, control was placed on the ’04 triumvirate of Neil Anderson, Al Gordon, and Dan Bahls. Upon their graduation, responsibility passed to [[Amanda R. Van Rhyn '06]] and [[Katherine L. Dieber '07]], who will soon add some names to their administration. <br />

<div>Where's there to eat around here? Here are some restaurants that are nearby, cheap, or good.<br />
<br />
== Colonial Pizza ==<br />
<br />
Constantine, the proprietor, is a minor Route 2 celebrity. This pushy flirt almost invariably concludes his phone exchanges with "OK, I take care of you" in a Greek immigrant accent. Anyway, the pizza is pretty good and not too pricey, although not many people swear by the crust. The calzones aren't bad, either. Colonial's delivers to Williams, and closes at "midnight" (11:30-midnight) on weekdays.<br />

Phone: (413) 458-9009<br />
<br />
== Little Anthony's Pizza ==<br />
<br />
Little Anthony's, located in North Adams, is an establisment relatively unknown among Williams students that is becoming well-regarded for its thick, tasty pizza. The Anthony Deluxe is a winner, they deliver to Williams, and they're open till one. What's not to like? Well, for one, they have a $15 minimum order for deliveries. Usually a pizza and a big bottle of soda will get you there.<br />
<br />
1 River St<br />
North Adams, MA 01247-2404<br />

<br />
==Mezze Bar and Bistro==<br />
<br />
Located a couple of stores before Water Street Books. The fancy restaurant you get your parents to take you to when they're in town. Nice [http://www.mezzerestaurant.com/ website], too.<br />
<br />
== McDonald's ==<br />
<br />
Located a block past the overpass on Rte. 2, the North Adams McDonald's is almost always visited by Williams students between the hours of 1:30 and 5 a.m., the time when it's the only hot food in town. Caveat esor.<br />
<br />

North Adams, MA 01247-3548<br />
Phone: (413) 664-7272<br />
<br />
== Subway ==<br />
<br />
Delicious well priced sandwiches. You will have eaten at one of these before. Ask for the special spicy sauce (it's red in colour - I don't remember its name but it's awesome) Closes too early though.<br />
<br />
== Desperado's ==<br />
<br />
Located in Colonial Plaza, probably ''just'' too far to walk (though you can certainly do that if you want to). It looks kind of like a hole in the wall, but the food is good. Tex-Mex makes for a nice change from the Spring Street restaurants.<br />
<br />
Pretty standard American fast food type tex-mex fare-- Nothing too well seasoned or too savory. Just a basic alternative to wrap night.<br />
<br />
== Hobson's Choice ==<br />
<br />
Located on the west side of Water Street between Latham and Meacham, Hobson's Choice offers excellent "American cuisine and seafood" for moderate prices. It features a make-your-own-salad bar, and the cozy atmosphere is highlighted by lots of those little hand-crafted puzles where you have to get a metal ring off some convoluted intertwining of other metal rings and triangles and bars. You know the sort. [[Brent Yorgey|I]] highly recommend the Cajun blackened swordfish/tuna.<br />
<br />
Not to be confused with [http://afactor.net/hcf/index.html Hobson's Choice in Williamstown, Victoria, Australia]. You may also be interested to know the [http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorh.htm#Hobson's origin of the phrase] (a "hobson's choice" is a supposed choice where there is really no choice at all; presumably, in this context the implication is that one has no choice but to eat at the restaurant, since the food is so good).<br />

== Helen's Place ==<br />
<br />
== Blue Benn Diner ==<br />
<br />
Located in Bennington (Keep driving up Rt. 7 through Bennington. You'll se an authentic, tiny diner on your left. An amazing bvariety of food available, from meatloaf to french fries. Not high class, but still delicious.<br />
<br />
== Water Street Grill ==<br />
<br />
== Thai Garden ==<br />
<br />
== Spice Root ==<br />
<br />
Spice Root is a mid sized restaraunt on Spring Street that serves Indian food. The food is as close to authentic Indian that you'll find within a pretty good radius, and tastes quite good. Modestly priced student meals are available ($10 for a sit in meal and $5 for a take away of small proportions) The Naan bread is good, as is the tandoori chicken. The chole (pronounced chho-lay) served with a student meal is excellent.<br />
<br />
Not for the hard-core Indian food fans who might be offended by the mixture of North Indian and South Indian cuisines, but definitely worth a try.<br />
<br />
23 Spring St, Williamstown, MA<br />
(413) 458-5200<br />
<br />
== Rattlesnake Cafe ==<br />
<br />
The best...or only place in the area to get Mexican food. Large portions of food and well worth the trip. To get there, take Rt. 7 most of the way through Bennington. It will be hidden back a ways on your left, and very brightly colored.<br />
<br />
== Jae's Inn ==<br />
An asian fusian restaurant that is better than both Thai Garden and Chopsticks (in my opinion). Jae's Inn is also less pricey than Thai Garden...It's located just a little past Walmart on the right. Their pad thai is especially amazing if you prefer for pad thai is americanized, sugar filled glob. The sushi is divine as well. <br />
<br />
It's a little far, but definitely worth the drive! It's also an Inn (as you might guess from the name...), so it's a bit nicer, but the ambiance is still very warm and inviting, with an art collection better suited for the walmart across the street.<br />

<br />
== Moonlight Diner ==<br />
<br />
== Gramercy Bistro ==<br />
<br />
A small, cozy bistro right near Mass MOCA. Excellent appetizers (especially the crab cake with a light wasabi sauce) and pretty nice desserts (the chocolate cake with raspberry hits the spot), but the entrees themselves were on the weak side. Reservations recommended. [http://www.gramercybistro.com/ Website]. Phone: (413) 663-5300.<br />
<br />
== Gideon's ==<br />
<br />
== Ye Olde Forge ==<br />
<br />
A restaurant/tavern on Rt. 7 about 20 minutes from campus. The wings alone are reason enough to make the trip. Also famous for its wide selection of beers and the Beer Card (sample 50 different beers within a year and you'll get an engraved pewter stein).<br />
<br />
Don't forget to have a designated driver!<br />
This is a classic getaway, especially for upperclassmen, but over the years it has become increasingly popular among the Williams community. A perfect night at the Forge involves several of their quality beers on tap (they normally have about 15 on tap at any time in addition to almost 300 more bottled varieties available), a cup of chili with cheeze and top it off with some Dean's Original wings (the buffalo style). Contrary to popular belief, the Forge also does food other than wings, which is also very tasty.<br />
<br />
