Let's pretend we're in Antarctica so we don't have to go Outback tonight


Let's not go Outback tonight. We'd rather pretend we're in Antarctica.

Today we were contemplating a trip to Antarctica -- curious about the dining options and about whether the world contains a foodie-free zone. Serenading our fantasy was the Of Montreal song about pretending to be in Antarctica, "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (and other games)." We were excited to get started on our travel research, but first we needed dinner. What they say about grocery shopping holds true for planning a trip that involves food: Don't do it on an empty stomach.

Since Monday is TV dinner night, we turned on the tube as we scarfed down spicy burritos. Ironically, the airwaves greeted us with Of Montreal belting out "Let's go Outback tonight" to the tune of "Wraith Pinned to the Mist." I hope that they made a ton of money on this sell out. This song is going to be stuck in our heads for a long time. If Of Montreal endorses Outback's steaks, does that mean we can dine on them in Antarctica?
