Just saw the runner up to the runner up for president at the grocery store. He knows his produce.
You missed your chance to tell him that the most recent season of Curb Your Enthusiasm was pretty meh.
At least one of us would have found it funny. I almost disnt see him. I saw his wife first and was thinking she looks familiar, thrn I saw them together.
Have you met him before?
Every one in Vermont knows one another.

See the "Alternative Tentacles" anecdote upthread as proof.
Which means bob … knows all those damned Birkenstock hippies!

I know a lot of people I dont like.

Getting back to the hat though. Its gotta be mine. I figure one of the kids left it at school and the school eventually turned their unclaimed items over to Goodwill. Thrn this bozo bought it for a nickel.

Overheard (by, I guess, our cats) in Castle Medulla: "We are not going to watch Three's Company!" Said by Dr. Mrs. Dr. Medulla to Dr. Medulla, who didn't actually want to watch Three's Company but wanted her to change the channel.

I smell a sitcom in the making, sort of Odd Couple-esque. We'll call it Doctor Doctor.

If you can get Robert Redford or one of the One Directions to play me, I'll sign off.
