Don't say nothin, just give it here
Last night I dined at this bougie establishment with my friend The Hammer (look, you're on the internetz!) I was carrying a lamp with me, very similar to the one on the right. I scavenged this fully functional beauty and spent the rest of the evening carrying it around the city (on train, at movies, etc.)
I was very proud of my find and had all sorts of fantasies about fashionably using it if/when I get into grad school: Tappa tappa on the typewriter I don't have, smoking cigarettes that I don't smoke, drinking whiskey, pulling the little chain on the lamp...
It's all ruined now. I accidentally left the lamp at that stupid Frenchie restaurant and now they're pretending they never saw it. I swear I heard them turn it on while we were talking on the phone today, then suppress a French giggle. The Hammer is going to shiv our bitchy waitress after her shift tonight.

See what happens when you are honest and actually pay the check?
My dad had a lamp like that when I was a child. It ruled. Sorry to hear you lost yours, but you'll be able to find more.
Dude, were you at Le Gamin on Vanderbilt in my 'nabe. I love that place. Great crepes and cafe au lait.
Yeah, get the oeuf gamin, it will change your life.
We were actually at the one on Houston, after watching the explosive Bob Dylan movie at Film Forum.
I had a turkey swiss melt, Hammer ate goats cheeses on green. It was admittedly delicious, though I heard mixed reviews on the Prospect Heights Gamin.
you know, i've heard that's what happens to people who come to boston without visiting ALL of their friends...they get their lamps stolen.
:-) viva la lamp karma.
Maybe that foreign couple took it while you went to the ATM and I was deeply immersed in your Hop-Stop literature.... or perhaps it was the smarmy hipster waitress with the rattail?
P.S. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE RICHARD GERE VIGNETTE?
Yeah, the Richard Gere part. WTF?
That sucks. I'm sure they are lighting their kitchen right now with that thing.
Restaurants cannot be trusted.
