A few conversations you could have overheard
1. Matty B.: So, you all don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Me: No, not really.
Matty B.: Because you're a Kven?
2. Me: I'm telling you, trailer in the country, lots of cats, and I'll sit on the front porch with a shotgun and keep the world at bay.
The missus: That's starting to sound good.
3. Me (an internal monologue): We could fly to London, take the train to Chester or Wolverhampton, catch an EPL match, then see the reunited Squeeze, all in one weekend. How much could that be?
[Mouse clicks, keyboard clicks, several "hmms" later]
$3,000 is a little steep for an adolescent obsession and a weekend. They better come to the States.
4. Pete: I tell people I'm 40 and they act surprised. Then I tell them I'm immature for my age and they agree.
5. The missus, upon Spencer appearing on the screen: I think I just threw up a little in the back of my mouth.
Me: No, not really.
