I'd begrudgingly pay the extra dollar and stop going for lunch

I believe it's a reference to John Carpenter's "The Thing"

I work at Google. An invite form was sent to employees prior to launch.

The process isn't too different now. My first interview (on campus) was mid January of this year. About a month later (mid February) I had another technical interview, after which I was put into the pool of possible interns. Then in mid March I had a "host interview" with my eventual manager, which resulted in an offer. A two month intern hiring process, when other companies make decisions within a week of the interview, seems arrogant (i.e., they don't think they need too be quick because people want to work at Google). FWIW my recruiter was very friendly, and she explained that she had a pool of about 30-40 intern candidates she was managing.
