...their ambitious attempt to alienate every single one of their fans, Weiland's bubble-grunge outfit Stone Temple Pilots went on to fill the blustery-rock void. STP sold millions of albums on the strengths of such artistic master-pieces as "Creep" and "Trippin' on a Hole In a Paper Heart," with self-confessed "fashion whore" Weiland squarely at the helm. Sure, they were hooky, but compared to Pearl Jam, STP exuded about as much genuine angst as Gavin Rossdale...
Diplomas are tangibly rather flimsy--a piece of paper with some calligraphy and seals (not the handsome sheepskin of old), oversized and suitable for framing--but symbolically they're worth their weight in gold, representing four years of blood, sweat and toil and, as our parents would hasten to point out, upwards of $120,000.

Then, she proceeded to create the Ridge...
...white wine sauce. The empty bowl offered for shells was nowhere near the capacity needed to account for the volume of sucked-dry detritus that remained after the mussels were finished. Empty mussel shells were scattered around the table like fallout, creating unsightly wet patches in the crisp white paper tablecloth. Snoot is hard-sought at Alloro, however--the waiter seemed thrilled at our animalistic enjoyment of the food. A third appetizer seemed impossible to pass up. The only glaringly untraditional dish on the menu, the grilled shrimp on fennel salad is the last vestige of Alloro's former image...
