700 Club

If you think my social interactions are steeped in awkwardness, you should have seen me at that posh mall boutique trying to find a pair of glasses today. Not only was I completely disinterested in the entire process, I think I was being downright rude to the nerdy, balding fellow who clearly struggles to earn commissions. Well, I dropped some fat cash on a pair of glasses, so I hope he enjoys his fancy dinner this evening at the fucking Red Lobster (send me money, Red Lobster!).

I’ve never felt more pigeonholed than when he asked me, “What do you do for a living?” I responded by stating I am a writer. He disappeared for a second, and returned with a pair of “retro” frames, chuckling, “You’d probably like these. They’re very non-conformist.” One would think that after being so harshly stereotyped, I’d have turned around and bought a different pair of glasses merely out of spite. Not me. I’m a stupid bastard, so I ended up buying those very frames. Boy do I look stupid in glasses.

The rest of my day was spent working, and running errands around town. Tonight, “band” practice. I guess this is life as a 700-club member (see: number of posts since starting this website)…

Look at 3/4 of Obscure References at a social function. We bring the fun.

Check out the hairy guy wearing the “aw shucks” face (and a lady’s undergarment!)
