You know, these wintergreen smooth mint mints are good and all, but without that caustic chemical burn feeling, I fear my fresh breath will not proceed me into a room like I prefer.

I have Columbus Day off in an election year. I work for the most pretend political organization ever.

My aunt lost her house in the fire last night. Tons of water damage and the firefighters had to chop down the roof to keep the fire from spreading to the rest of the block. Everyone is safe as they were out to dinner when the fire started.

Man, my condolences. Hopefully she had good insurance.

Make sure you tell her to get an independent insurance adjuster. I know some may find this hard to believe, but the insurance company's goal is to pay you as little as possible.

She should be fine. The adjusters were out there this morning with the owners of the warehouse and she felt assured that things would workout.
Since she was the second house from the warehouse most of her damage was smoke and water related, so no real loss of anything of sentiment.

I was just coming out of the convenience store across the street and this guy interrupted his conversation on his Motorola Razr to try to panhandle me in Spanish.

Him - You speaka Spanish?

Me - No, sorry.

Him - My car. Fucked up.

Me - What?

Him - My car. Fucked up.

Me - Huh?

Him - My car. Fucked up. You. One, two dollars? Gas.

Me - No, sorry.

In a random thoughts thread? That might take a while.

That seems foolish.

I need a good costume for Halloween this year. Halloween wedding and the invitation says, "Costumes are not required, but strongly encouraged."

I usually dress up as a religious figure. I don't know how concerned you are about offending people but my Pope costume last year was a big hit.

adults that dress up for halloween are one step above pedophiles in my book.

Yeah, on these steps:

You should dress as a bride. Maybe a corpse bride.

Adults that get too excited about Halloween--I mean the type of people that are REALLY into it--creep me the fuck out. And for the record I'm talking about people that like it for themselves, and not their kids or anything like that. If you LOVE Halloween, you're either 9 years old, or a douchebag.

How would adults who love Halloween compare to adults who dress up for comic con?

Lil' Vulture is kind of fussy about the candy she eats, so I get the cast offs. That's pretty cool.
