So right now, on different people's journals, I'm having conversations about the merits of various types of wine and about American painters, specifically Sargent, Eakins, and Wyeth.

Wow, I'm all cultured and stuff.

Didn't you realize that going to an Ivy League school meant that you'd be having pretentious conversations for the rest of your life?

As long as your place setting doesn't regularly feature more than one fork ...

No, but that's because I grew up having the dessert plates and forks set aside in the kitchen, away from the table. We regularly serve meals that require at least three utensils. (I know, it's not a shrimp fork or a tomato knife, but still.)

Though, to be fair, we do own crab forks. And have used them.

Ok, you need crab forks. That's less an issue of manners than of not cutting your hands.
