All great stories, but unremarkable comment threads. What I want to know is, did anyone here actually try to bribe their way into a restaurant after reading that article?

Thank you, that is helpful. I wish there was a button for it on the top bar at HN.

Not that I know of from your profile, but you can always bookmark the page, email yourself a link, or use something like Read It Later (http://www.ideashower.com/ideas/launched/read-it-later/), which saves you from cluttering up the comments.
