Apropos of nothing, I gotta say that if John Kerry doesn't stop spamming my ass more than the dick enlargers, I'm gonna bring the hammer down -- Kilmer-style.
Anyway, I have a good story and a bad story from Los Angeles, which is kinda perfect for this stupid town, where I saw a guy earlier riding a skateboard in flip-flops. See what I mean? Ridiculous. Bad Story: Yesterday I was eating breakfast in Venice with J.Ro at a restaurant on Electric Avenue (yes, the very same) called The Brick House, which provides an al fresco dining area where legislatively disenfranchised smokers like us can indulge our addiction as we enjoy our omelettes. The outdoor tables are on a raised wooden platform with a railing, further sheltered from the street by some lush ficus plants or something. Our food hadn't come yet, but my coffee was soaking in, revving up my synapses, when a guy walked up to the fenced-in area, snaked his hand under the railing, took my cell phone, and bolted down the street. Then I was chasing him, though I don't know how that happened. I was sprinting as best I could, and I think I shouted something at him like DROP THE FUCKING PHONE YOU FUCKING FUCK, but I haven't sprinted for more than 40 seconds since like eighth grade, so as the cracky thief pulled away, I had to make a choice between continuing to run or continuing to breathe. I stopped in the middle of Brooks Street, heaving like ship in a storm, and Speedy McCrackhead dodged around a corner, disappearing down the rabbithole into the Venice ghetto. Some nice lady in a jeep who saw the chase gave me a lift back to the Brick, which was good because I was done. People were all kinds of freaked out, trying to figure out whether they should've called 911, but sensing that a snatched cell didn't qualify as an emergency in this universe. The waitress asked "was he black?" which is too bad, because she seemed nice otherwise. A fat guy told me to quick cancel my service, and J.Ro dialed my number on her cell and handed it to me. There was no answer. I wasn't too aggrieved by the situation, feeling that the dude certainly earned the phone with that sneaky behind-the-ficus move and the ensuing dash. Kudos, Snatchy McCrackerson. I looked up the nearest Sprint store, savoring the appropriateness of the company's name, and rode a stupid red one-speed bicycle along the beach to Wilshire to unsever my link to the world. I lost all the stored numbers, but I got more exercise than I have in years. My thighs are on fire. Woo! Good Story: This evening, walking with Morgan back to his car from a successful mission to the bookstore, two twentysomething girls walk up to me. One of them gets my attention. GIRL: Excuse me.... UD: Yeah? GIRL: Are you single? UD: Um... yes? GIRL: Okay. I just wanted to tell you that you're really cute. UD: Oh. Thanks! (pause) Wait -- would I have be less cute if I weren't single? GIRL: (walking away) No. But now I can think about you later. Hee. 0 comments |
