Wisdom (and sometimes the cereal guy): 10/01/2014

24.10.14

rider on the deuce: "is this the bus that keeps getting longer and longer?"

native spanish speaker on the deuce: "a cannoli is an italian pastry. it's like a burrito."

b1-66er: I really really don't understand sports mentality. the older I get, the less I understand it.

solid goldstein: On one level it is rooting for laundry

b1-66er: there's a jewish take-away point here that is very very odd. read 4 paragraphs from the bottom ...

special K: The Barak thing? It seemed pretty innocuous to me.

b1: you are smokin' crack if you don't think that rich thing is just riddled with slime.

1. you could argue that rich wasn't really even american...at least not in the way you and I are (wasn't born here, didn't live here).

2. why does the head of israel care ANYTHING about financial clemency for an american?

3. name ANY time the head of state of another government has had a PERSONAL REQUEST (not a request made by "his people") DIRECTLY to the prez.

there's really only 2 things at work here: money and religion. I'm not sure which is bigger in this case.

if hussein had been asking for clemency for cat stevens, your eyebrows would be raised back to your neck.

(and that comparison may look absurd on the surface, but it's actually nearly identical.)

K: I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant it was odd of the CSM to mention it.

b1: oh.

then you're not smoking crack.

me: I get on the bus from salt lake city to las vegas.

friendly guy behind me - "where're you goin'?"

me - "vegas. how 'bout you?"

guy - "gallup."

m - "that's a long way. what takes you there?"

g - "my son was murdered."

m - "OH! that's terrible! what happened?"

g - "FBI doesn't know. bodies are still in the morgue in Albuquerque."

b1: woman on phone with a val accent "that isn't a paper towel for cleaning! that's the paper towel I used to blow my nose!"

dr. bob: Hopefully our football bets win

b1-66er: I wouldn't bet on it.
