Things I have learned this past weekend:
--the clubs here absolutely will not let you in if you are under 21, and may not let you in unless you are, as my friend said, "fully pimped out."

Glad to be of entertainment!
Seriously, though, for the trying on hats. I completely recommend it as an amusing activity. ^_^

I will keep that in mind. Not much to do in Wayne county....haha
Oh! I learned more chinese! I shall attempt to spell it phoenetically in English.

"May may la tofu"

Oh darn, I've forgotten so much and I'm no good without tones...I'm guessing it doesn't mean "Hot (Little) Sister Tofu." But that would be pretty hilarious. The only other meaning I can think of for "may" would be beautiful? And the only "la" I know means hot/spicy. So I was amused either way when I read your phrase!

Haha, nice.
And yes, it was Beautiful Spicy Tofu.
Ben, the cook that translated for us, was trying to explain may may to us "You and Danielle...you may may. Other people who not so *gesture around face, pretty close to ASL for 'beautiful'* they just may."
It was pretty funny and I laughed for a long time.
Now everything is may may.
