Phantom of the Opera we could have all dealt with. The big fear was that he'd end up with some version of (whitefonted just in case there's anyone out there who hasn't yet seen
Sideways
and is planning to)
Thomas Haden Church's crazy-ass full face cast contraption.
I'm betting the wee bit of plaster looks almost unbearably cute. I hope he gets his friends to sign his cast.
So glad to hear that the news is good for Emmett.
Funny how you can develop a soft spot for somebody you never met.
(I'm still hoping to fix that over the summer, though.)
Are saltines soda crackers?
I always thought so. My guess is that soda crackers are crackers leavened with baking soda, and saltines are soda crackers with salt, but I've been misled by similar logic in the past.
I'm pretty sure "Saltines" is just a brand name for soda crackers that's been adopted item-wise like Kleenex for tissues or Oleo for margerine.
Hee! Clearly, they were trying to make you uncomfortable. How marvelous that it backfired every time.
Yeah. It was always so obvious when some guy was asking that to make me uncomfortable -- you could just see it all over their faces.
There was some guy who called the store all the time and never came in, he'd ask about what kind of adult style videos we had -- Playboy, penthouse, movies, and go through the list. Then at the very end he'd ask if we had videos with guys in them. I think maybe he was developementally delayed, and he called all the time. My manager who was cool also had a cruel streak and would give the phone to me everytime he called. (He called enough we could recognize his voice even though we never had a name).
YAY for Emmett's successful surgery!
Yay for Emmett and his super fabulous doctors! Yay for Hec and JZ too!
Glad Emmett is doing well.
Then at the very end he'd ask if we had videos with guys in them.
Snerk. That rmeinds me of the video store clerk's blog, where she would talk about the people heading down into their basement o' porn, and how things like TS movies were basically gateways for straight men to their gayness, as gay men are never interested in TS porn -- the TS porn is kept in the straight porn section.
It was fun reading.
It also left you feeling a little creeped out about being a video store patron.
