It's a beautiful day in the Hub City and we are enjoying all the Starbucks we can slurp down, surreptitiously checking out the bookstore wimmen (my favorite kind... I love literati types) (said wimmens are also surreptitiously checking ME out), all while availing ourselves of B&N's free wi-fi... which enables us to make our blog-rounds even as we're over a hunnert miles from home.
Least you guys still have a decent bookstore. Since Borders crapped out, all we have are the little independent stores. Which is fine, except they smell musty and are usually small and cramped and are staffed by weird little men with soul patches on their chins. Not really my scene.

ReplyDeleteAnd if they be not, Buck, they’re gay. At least that’s what I tell misself, gots to protect the ole ego, sayz I.
Our Borders just closed. George Bush's fault.
Indeedy-doody! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI was at the bookstore last Wednesday, and this really interesting woman was giving me the eye, so I sauntered over and said "are you some kind of Jesus freak?" (she was in the religious section).
ReplyDeleteWithout missing a beat she said "I was praying to God you wouldn't come over here!" Oof!
Not to surrender too soon, I asked if she would like to put a hex on me over some coffee. Without missing a beat, she said "You know why God gave men a bigger brain than a dog?" Ah, actually no...
So they wouldn't wank on womens legs in public.
I took that as no coffee, and went to pay for my Hot Rod magazine...

ReplyDeleteWell, the folks in Lubbock do, Inno. P-Ville has one used book store (that I know of) and I ain't drivin' two hours one way to Lubbock every once in a while just to hang out at B&N.
Small Tee: I LIKE the way ya think, Sir. I caught a couple o' smiles this mornin'... but one doesn't know if they were out o' pity or sumthin' else.
Moogie: I did!!
Les Jambes: Well, keep on keepin' on, Sir. At least you're tryin'.
Apropos o' nuthin': I learned a new word en français today; thanks. I learned my French in elementary school and "branlent" wasn't part of any vocabulary drills I remember. ;-)
Oh, well, I learned that word on a toilet wall, which is where all good French conjugation is performed... Hee...
ReplyDeleteToby and I bicycled to the Starbucks near the campus one morning only to discover we had no money with us. The cute little worker girls gave us coffee when we promised to return with money later. Then they were surprised when we actually returned and paid.
