Considering I was carded earlier this week and one of the reasons I hate going to R movies by myself is because it's such a hassle you'd think I'd be used to this, but....
Woman: "I didn't know they let kids in here."
Me: *slightly stunned* "...I'm 25 next month."
Woman: *looks closely* "Are you sure? You look like a kid!"
Me: "Yeah, and I get that a lot. It's genetics."

Simple solution, Star- just grow a goatee. I used to get carded a lot when I was clean shaven, but never when I had facial hair.

Probably helped when you let your leg hair grow, too.

I don't show leg, Sean. Girls get the wrong idea.

So my wife and I are eating at a steakhouse the other night, and about midway through our meal we notice that our table has this rather large button affixed to the end of it. By the time our waiter came over, he sees me holding back my wife's hands, twitching toward it.
He sizes things up. "You want to know what happens when you push the button, don't you?"
"YES."
He hits the button and stands back. Literally five seconds later, a guy just RUSHES out of the kitchen right for our table, stopping short when he saw the waiter.
"They wanted to know what it did," the waiter said. The kitchen guy just rolled his eyes.
"Does he sing? Like an oompa loompa?" my wife asked. The kitchen guy went back to the kitchen.
Now, you CANNOT finish a meal at a table where there's a button that summons an instant kitchen guy and not feel the incredible pull of temptation to be slamming that thing every two seconds. We had a major in-booth wrestling match to keep hands away from the thing.
But on the way out... I'm ashamed to say that we quickly hit the buttons on about four tables as we quickly walked away. The kitchen door exploded behind us.

The only thing that could make this story any better would be if it was a shiny RED button. Tell me, was it so?

No, alas, it was licorice black. It actually looked like a cover for a screw or something that would've attached the table leg, which is why we overlooked it for so long.

So this is a Funny Thing I saw... I'm walking through a bookstore yesterday, and I see something. It made me stop. Right there. Pregnesia. A Harlequin about a woman who is pregnant. And has amnesia. Pregnesia. That may be the most awesome title in the history of ever. |

Today at the grocery store check out line...
Cashier: *begins scanning items* How're you doing today?
Me: Oh I'm fine. You?
C: Oh I can't - Oh My God! 85?!
M: What?
C: This sun screen is spf 85! I've never seen one over 70! But wow 85?(!)
M: *amused* It's 85 *dramatic pause* PLUS!
C: Daaang, why that's like not even going outside! And it's Neutrogena! That's a good brand!
I swear I could not make this up. I don't think I've ever seen someone so excited over the blocking of UVA and UVB rays.

Why, StarOpal, you frightened the poor chap! You could have bought some garlic as well to counter his suspicion.
Hmm, 85...
Or could you?
