Take Me to the River

Did all y'all get a myspace friendvitation from He Just Kicks Hard? Some Pensacola band, featuring some Grifteraoke folk? I had to ask Pat if I met them (I was on the not-remembering juice) and he doesn't know, but I accepted 'em anyway. I only add people I've met. (So basically Eric's bands make up 93.75% of my friends list.)

The two guys who sang "Maps of the Sun" were the guitarist and bass player for that band. They opened for Mudhoney the next night.

Yeah, I remember them singin', I just don't remember meeting them...

Yes.

Who's the moron, script reader?

But they were reaching out to you as performers.

Everyone welcome my good friend Black (that's really his name)  from Hull, England.

Welcome, Black!

Your dreams were your ticket out.

I am currently doing the cigarette ration thing: "If I only smoke one cigarette per hour between now and when I go to bed, I will have enough to last me." But I have had four (ok, whatever, five) glasses of sangria and one small serving of coleslaw (I know, awesome base for drinking!) so I know the cigs won't last and should really just go to the store now while I'm still functional and stock up. But the store is so faaaaaaaaaar (2 blocks) and... why will no one in this town deliver smokes? I'll totally order take-out food if that's what it takes.

I'm hoping my friend picked up her Vespa from the shop and now is coming over for sangria drinks and will bring me cigarettes.

Yeah, like they knew I was there.


I do vaguely remember talking to a stranger, but that might've been this guy Kurt.

Do you think he'll get that joke?  Do they watch "Welcome Back, Kotter" in England?

More weird details about M_____'s family place...

When they bought it, it came with an old woman in it.

Basically, there was a woman in her 80s who'd lived there for decades. The place was way too big for her and she had no family to take her in. So the deal was, M_______'s family got to move in and claim ownership and as part of the deal, they had to care for this old woman until she died. They called her "Rosica Nini" (Little Old Lady Rosie, basically) and she lived for something like 6 or eight years.

Anybody wanna hear the story about M______'s condo and how she bought it via a pyramid scheme, or is this all too weird/boring?

Jeff, you're full of great stories today.

These are my wife's great stories. I'm just the lucky dude who gets to sleep next to her.

I think I'm strange even if you know me.

If not, I'm sure he'll look up the reference, now that it's been made twice.

Strange-r.

I had a public school education.  All of my history teachers in grades 6-12 were football coaches.

My 7th grade history teacher had a nickname for everybody.  I was Dirty Kurty, but later he changed it to Strange Ranger.

[Just Some Girl]

I like it.

No nicknames in elementary school, but high school most of the (male) teachers called me by my last name -- which my younger siblings never got, even my li'l bro (and boys often get called by their surnames). And then all the high school friends started in with the vaguely rhyming things, then in university got "punk rock-a," then Ottawa was ChaCha and LaVodka (and LaCrotcha, and LaCaca...nice), which still sticks, and now at work it's Roxy and Rox. Some of my friends have taken to calling me Roxy, too. I'm the sort of girl people give nicknames to, I guess.

And a bunch of clients call me by my last name.

There's also K-Rock.

During tests he liked to walk around and look at everybody's answers, sometimes making comments for the class to hear.

Particularly he liked to put his hands on the shoulders of the girls who had big tits already and sort of "look over their shoulder" a bit.
