Ah. My cable company has no record of charging me $2740.00. Apparantly they credited the wrong account.
Wow. That sucks. It's bad enough cable prices are ridiculous, but that's just unbelievable.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I am just as fond of the neighborhood bar.
I knew you were a Gus' Pub regular!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Who is your cable provider, tommy?
Comcast.
Did you get a confirmation number when you paid them by phone?
Yes. They said they can't tie that # to an actual account number.
My bank has a little branch at a nearby supermarket, so I'm off....
Also, I'm leaving town right from work today. Money would be nice.

B-what!?! What the hell is the point of that number if they can't actually use it for anything?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I like dive bars now that I'm older and married because you don't have to worry about people going there to hook up. It's mostly just about the cheap booze. And the bathrooms are always gross.

What do you consider your local, amych? If I went to bars anymore, mine would probably be Jo and Joe's or The Federal. Actually, when I do go to bars anymore that's where I go.
I had a doctor's appointment and just went home instead of back to work. I only sloped off on 45 minutes - that's okay, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like neighbourhood bars if it means I don't have to drive. But I don't really have one. Now I want dive bars.
I had California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and salmon mango rolls. They really need better mango, but I'm good and full.

So the bar on Center Street where they don't have windows, the door has an industrial lock, and they used to have strippers would be a dive bar, where as the bar section at Applebee's and Red Robin would be the pick-up joint (it's certainly fun to be sitting to the side and watch the young-and-desperates trying to attract each others' attention.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think ita convinced me to go get sushi. I bet they won't have Mango rolls though.

Good call. OK, then I question Sue's liking of neighborhood bars as a category, until she qualifies the type of neighborhood.
I guess my typical neighborhood bars are unpretentious, probably pretty working class bars. But not necessarily dives.
I knew you were a Gus' Pub regular!
I haven't been in eons! I loved the El Strado. Which was my neighborhod bar, and a huge dive until it burned down. (Which really, answers Jesse's question above.)
