fantastic. Can't wait for this ridiculous show to debut. It's going to be so awful/great.

Um...excuse me...Mister 'Stache? I believe that the collection of living cells to which you were once attached actually wrote "Italian Girls" with the phrase "pasta basta," not "pasta pasta." "Pasta basta" is a phrase that used to get used a lot when I was a kid--not so much anymore. I've always wondered about the etymology of that phrase, beyond the fact that there are long-lived restaurants in NYC (Basta Pasta) and Europe (Pasta Basta in London, Pasta y Basta in Amsterdam) that use it. It was always my sense that "pasta basta" was a nonsense phrase used casually back in the days when Italian food was universally considered a low-rent cuisine by Americans.
I know that "basta" means "enough" in Italian and Spanish, but if anybody has the 411 on the phrase "pasta basta" I'd love to hear about it (and so, apparently, would Monsieur 'Stache).
