Metal Claws of Doom

While I sit here in a coffee shop preparing to "work", Christopher Grundy is in front of me talking on a cell phone. I don't know if he's a local celebrity, but I certainly know who he is. I saw him perform at Impulse Theatre a couple times, where I thought he was easily the funniest performer. Then I saw him on that Vehix.com commercial where he's trying to grab stuff out of that carnival machine with the big metal claw of doom.

But I digress.

I just got done having lunch with Blizzo, and as I get back to my car, a chick in authentic punk garb asks me for $2 for a cup of coffee. COFFEE?? I try to figure out why someone lacking even $2 needs it for coffee. Is it because you're thirsty? No, that doesn't make sense. Is it because you need nourishment? No, coffee doesn't help much there either. It's a pretty warm day so I don't think drinking something hot is the goal. I really wanted to make some comment about how the tragic incidence of drowsiness among America's youth is on the rise, but I wanted to get through today without an ass-beating.

For the record, I didn't have $2 at the time, so wipe that look off your face.
