By Any Other Name

Friday, April 28th, 2006 at 10:49 pm

I ended up working by myself tonight at the video store which means I had no filter or controlling agent to slow the high clockspeed of my brain processors. She’s called Nancy, by the way. I was finishing helping a customer when I tuned into a couple debating about which movie to rent and came in on this part:

Customer: …I did like that, but I don’t think it’s as good as Guy Ritchie’s Snatch.

Me: Are you guys talking about Madonna?

You couldn’t have paid for a better set-up.

Listening to: Naked Eye - Luscious Jackson

    Sorry, I’ve heard it all before!

  2. Howard Says:

    You’ve heard it all, have you? Well, then I guessed you’ve heard that I’ve decided to keep your birthday presents for myself, too.

  3. Lorne Says:

    That’s beautiful. The joke, not Guy Ritchie’s Snatch. Though it was pretty good movie. And I’d much rather look at Guy Ritchie’s Snatch than Madonna’s snatch.

    I’m with Lorne…. but I think I will most of all appreciate the fact that there are a few quick wits left in the 21st century. Dorothy Parker would have been proud.

  5. Howard Says:

    Lorne, I’ll drink to that! (Where’s my Ensure?)

    Hermit, are you comparing me to Dorothy Parker? Cool!

  6. TheHermit Says:

    Well, not really comparing you to her (she had bigger breasts)…. but I’m channeling her right now, and she says that you may be the most sardonic wit since her passing. It was she who, upon sighting a broken-legged sleazy young woman at a party, commented that the young woman probably broke her leg sliding down a barrister (that’s a sort of British lawyer for those who are Anglo-challenged).

    Perhaps I should construct a small chapel to honor Sts. Howard and Dorothy? I could fund it with donations! If you send $1000, I’ll put a shingle with your name on it on the chapel! So you don’t forget, send by midnight tonight!

    Ok, maybe I’ll just quietly appreciation the sarcasm and wit of your blog instead.
