I don't think it means anything, Connie. I mean, nothing beyond the fact that it is.
ION, fuck me. My boss just told me to call a courier to pick something up, and they won't be here for an hour! I've been here since 8 this morning. But the truly terrible part is, I've already turned in my time sheet!!! Maybe I can just leave it with a note.
I just heard one of my cow-orkers, obviously on the phone with her kid, say "Have fun! Make good choices!"
I didn't think any parent actually said things like that.
Mine did. Those very words.
What the hell is Moxie? (The brand name)
Some nasty-tasting soda pop, far as I can tell.
My mother really said, "Be good. If you can't be good, be careful. If you can't be careful, name it after me."
Moxie is still for sale, I think, in some states. It is a dark-colored soda, and then there used to be a brand fo flavored Moxie seltzers I drank when I was a preteen. Moxie soda I have avoided, but the seltzers were quite good.
I think Moxie is regional to the northeast, so I am not surprised it is Ted Williams shilling for it.
Har. I just thought this kid who came off the elevator was the messenger, but no -- he was a grad student. Ah well.
I'm leaving anyway.
Grad students always need money, Jesse. Give him the package and a ten and see where it gets you.
I have a good friend who loves Moxie, and has the Ted Williams magnet on his refrigerator.
