Mall Adventures

Of course I am working today, and the thrilling chilling peeps at the mall do not fail to amuse. A couple of high school kids informed me that we are "fuckin' stupid" for not carrying 8-mile.

Then some old guy came over to buy a ticket to Real Women Have Curves. He asks for it, then says "is it true" I smile at him in a customer servicey way and say "I guess so". So he says "turn around."
I'll be honest, this surpirsed me, and I asked him again how many tickets he'd like. And he says, "C'mon, give an old man a thrill."
I contemplate asking for his credit card number, but I don't. No cc, no thrill.

Sorry, old guy.

Oh, dear, no -- I was the poster child for nerds in my hometown, thanks to my appearance in the national spelling bee (and, as a result, on the front page of several local newspapers).

That is soo HOT!

Oh wait. What I meant was..that must have been terrible as a kid. Your folks must have been so roud. Did they tell all of their friends. But I bet you could totally score with that story if you told it right.

It's so cute.

I think you are the first person ever to say that was hot. You must, on some unconscious level, be aware that of the 200-some entrants, I was the one chosen to wear #69 around my neck. I shit you not.
