buzz kill!


Hello, hello. C here. With an annoying story that Im sure will leave all of you (at least the ladies) feeling our pain. So on Thursday the weather was gorgeous in Manayunk. Sunny. 65ish. Probably the nicest day we have had so far in Spring of ' 09. T and I didn't think that the day should go to waste so we decided to take a hike to Main Street and grab a little treat. Naturally, we chose ice cream. It's the perfect warm weather pick-me-up and was the other thing missing from our beautiful spring day experience. So off we went to what used to be Rita's (new place, can't remember the name). We are standing in line chit-chatting and we are next soo I decide what I want and begin to assemble the necessary funds from my wallet. Oops, I drop a quarter on the floor. I go to reach for it but the girl infront of me is already on it. I think "oh thats nice of her - she is picking up my quarter". I fully expect her to turn around and hand it to me. UGH - Wrong. She picked up the quarter and kept it. T & I looked at each and could not contain our laughter. So we proceeded to half giggle/half silence ourselves until we ordered. So we order - choc cone for me, frozen yogurt and sprinkles for skinny-girl T - and decided to consume our treats in the sunshine at the table outside of the ice cream shop. So there we are talking, loving life when a young man traveling in a passing car decides to share his thoughts with us. His exact words "Calories, calories" (think of the words in a "tisk, tisk" type of tone). UM what? my chin dropped. So did T's. Did that really just happen? I'm sure I wont be giving up ice cream forever, but you can bet your booty that I will not be eating ice cream in public anytime soon.

  1. I would have thrown my ice cream cone at him. Unfortunately, not in an aggressive "I am going to hurt you" way but in an insecure and slightly insane way. Asshole. TTB.
