How Do You Say Shallow

Last Saturday two regulars came into the video store. This couple is very nice and can throw a good joke back. Both are attractive and are definitely gym bunny types. While they were looking at movies, Corduroy (my newest iPod) started to play the ballad “Na Laetha Geal M’Óige” from Enya’s Watermark album. One of the two started to complain about how Bally’s used to play the song through the overhead speakers while he was trying to work out. Trying, he said, being the operative term.
His partner and I started to make a few jokes about it to lighten up his mood which weren’t working, so I finally just walked up to the end of the counter they were sitting and said, “You see, the song allows you time to mourn the deep, meaningful person you’re losing as you gain muscle mass.”
*Cricket*Cricket*
They took advantage of another customer coming up to leave without renting or saying a word. Perhaps a button had been pushed? I don’t know, but if he was offended by that then I think someone is making some money off of him for therapy.

dude on the radio today they were making fun of Portishead. What a coincidence. But the DJ’s weren’t beefed-up or have self-esteem issues like your customers apparently hehe.

Are you kidding about the therapy?? The gym IS his therapy. He is becoming exactly the sort of person he wants to be by piling up all his inside insecurites on the outside as muscle.
(BTW- I HOPE that is a photoshopped picture! Eww)

You did a great job of describing that ‘type.’ I steer clear of them.

I will pay you 20$ to create a new post by 10 Friday morning so that picture will move down the page.
Serious!

Sigh. People are offended so easily. In your one sentence to them was more truth than a year’s worth of therapy. And you offered it FREE!

I would have laughed.
Of course, I remain deep and meaningful despite my muscles.
