Huh?

Who the heck calls any meal that starts at noon and ends at 1:30 brunch? Even on a Sunday during finals. That just isn't accurate.

when i worked as a waiter, "brunch" was served from noon to five on weekends

man, i wish i had enough money to eat eggs benedict and drink bloody mary for five hours.

also, im pretty sure youre being unnecessarily dictatorial on your definition, here. even if you take the standard intuitive definition of brunch as half way between breakfast and lunch, that doesnt necessarily mean a meal beginning halfway between the standard accepted time for breakfast and lunch. indeed, many regularly wait to break their overnight fast untill well into the afternoon, and lunch often means anything you eat before nightfall. with that in mind, i think a very reasonable definition of brunch is a traditional meal served during daylight hours on weekends usually consisting of eggs and either bloody mary or mimosa.

Agreed. And, boy, do I love those afternoon drinks.
