As we were leaving the pizza place, the ACM asked "You going to be in your office around 2:30?"

"Yep. Looking to bug out @ 3:00 though"

"Okay see you then"

Thinking in my head "does that mean 2:30 or 3:00 now - crap"
 
When was the last time I had pizza? I want to say about two weeks ago. ,

No Dude: we had pizza when you went to sign those treaties in Paris and you were a little bit drunk so you said I could go if I could make myself fit in the steamer trunk. You underestimated how much of my body-weight is hair gel, and how much I wanted to go with you and be your treaty-signing wingman. Remember? Because you were actually pretty nice until you said I couldn't use your fountain pen because I don't have a moustache. I can't help it if the way you used your words made me cry and then you made the mean waiter get me pizza at the fancy cafe to make it up to me and it was actually really good so you had some and said it "paired well with your beaujolais."

Then when I asked if they had Diet Dew they kicked us out of France and we're not allowed back. You don't remember any of that? Well, you did have a lot of beaujolais.
 
Pizza with spicy sausage and honey and some kind of BBQ potato pizza. Not bad, but I still like just plain pizza.
 
We are all time travelers...just in one second forward intervals.

Who was the model and inspiration for this? I hope they're getting royalties.
 
Coolest Christmas gift posted on FB was the Simpson cartoon on the coach rendering of a family portrait.

Would you do it with your family?
 
One time when I worked at the frozen custard place during high school, I ate an entire package of Oreos while it was slow and we were goofing around in the winter. When I threw up later that evening at work, it looked like the Devil was being expelled from my body. I remember I had never felt more alive. Good times.

When I think about something while I'm doing it...I can't do it right. Those meditation people are always saying "focus on your breathing..." and I swear to god I always almost suffocate because I can't breathe if I'm thinking about it. Same with chewing. It's a weird thing to do. I should probably stop doing it.

At the same place where I ate the Oreos, Kami (who worked with me) said something profound that has never left me:

"You're a smart guy. How the fuck are you so dumb about life?"

I've continued to wonder, as I have proved her right all these years....

So there is hope for Itty Bitty?
 
@dandy_warhol Also, there are so many posts....but I saw your dream post about the pregnant lesbians and pockets full of cash, etc., and the imagery is fantastic. I think you have the beginnings of a really great supernatural horror/mystery there and I'm dying read it. Keep me posted!
