Pre-Cinderella Dinner

[Trek420]

"Bruno’s has passed on. Bruno’s is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late restaurant. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-restaurant."

Is it pining for the fjords?

I was wondering when someone would catch on........

Okay, are you going to enlighten us as to the joke?

I talked to my sister and she didn't have any good ideas for us. She lives in Tracy. She knows San Ramon/Danville well, but not Dublin/Pleasanton. Sorry.

It's from Monty Python - The Dead Parrot Sketch. Was also paraphrased by one of the MP members, at Graham Chapman's funeral when he passed away a few years back. "Graham has ceased to exist......"

I figured it must be some MP thing. My fave is the one from The Secret Policeman's Other Ball where the rich guys at the men's club are all sitting around trying to outdo one another about how poor they were as children.

Thanks for sharing!!
