I wonder if anyone out there makes wine so completely generic that it just has a plain white label that says "wine"... like the "beer" in Repo Man. It would be fun to plunk that down in front of the "psychic friends" customers.
Ever see the statistics on the number of people who admit to pretending to talk on cell phones to seem important?
I admit I've done it, but to avoid conversations with nutcases. When it isn't perfect weather, I take the Southbank shuttle in to work downtown instead of just doing the 15 minute walk across the bridge. I'm lazy. And there is ALWAYS at least one unfortunate screwball on the bus.
Besides me.
Case in point on Tuesday or Wednesday...
The good news - I got a spontaneous and unsolicited offer to have my knob gobbled on the bus.
The bad news - it was from a schizophenic homeless guy with tourette's.
At least I think he had tourettes... maybe he just had a bluetooth headset under the greasy cap.
Now that I think of it, he did have kind of a Belgian accent.

That's our Eddie, with that absurd accent, reminiscent of a Euro-trash bad guy in a straight-to-DVD thriller, always trying to make me feel like a Dickensian scamp. He's so proud and full of himself. And idiotic. lovely sentence, and picture perfect imagery...
its amazing to me how similar your role as a bartender and my role as a young litigation associate can be.
everyone i deal with wears those fucking earpieces. even in the office. so mark -the guy next door to me will walk out of his office, to our shared printer and be talking to himself, or sometimes, he might be talking to me, or the person on his ear...who can tell??
i'm totally amazed by what assholes your customers can be? it would NEVER cross my mind not to leave a 20% tip on everything i order - UNLESS the service is so horrendous, i knock it down to 15%. what cheap bastards!!

Ha!
I got my RS after driving home from happy hour.
I went and checked my parking job after looking at the cover.
The car was straight, so I looked at the cover again and realized that I really wasn't drunk.

Hey Cov, thanks for the bus visual. Last thing I needed. Have I mentioned I'm an insomniac who recently quit smoking? You're a real pal.
Kate, it's always been my dream to be a lawyer. It's sad to think it's not all it's cracked up to be, but I do hear that a lot. Still, just know I'm insanely jealous of you no matter how much your job might suck right now. 
Smoove... groovy issue, eh? I loved seeing some of those old covers again.

I don't doubt bluetooth was a loser, but I don't see anything wrong with blackened swordfish on a caesar. I think the chef needs to modify his attitude and stop being so saladist.
