Your acquaintance here sounds paranoid as balls, so I'm going to talk to whoever I feel like and form my own opinions of them on my own.

[lightningspark]

i think the acquaintance weakens this question. it could've used a re-write.

[gonzo_md]

the question is kind of open-ended and subjective anyway, i think

klosterman's a little hit-or-miss, even with just regular writing topics. some things he's fantastic at and he's very funny. other things he just sort of grazes the surface and you're left sitting there with your head tilted to one side.

personally, i'd be more skeptical of anyone who felt the need to warn me about everyone who walked into the goddamn bar, but that's just me. and jenn, as commented above.

they can't all be winners. was too tired to think one up this morning.

Everybody has a past. The man with a past is far less interesting than the guy who just woke up from a 5 year coma with amnesia.

I'd like to know why my "companion" is trying to start rumors and spread malcontent toward these two individuals.

Strictly speaking, I'd like to know why I'm talking to strangers in the first place, since I don't particularly do that.

Maybe I'm one of the people sitting at the table alone. Did you ever think of that?

[lightningspark]

everyone has a past. and everyone lies. ;)

you're talking to strangers because they like your hitler skull.

This is why I needed all that duct tape.

Do I still have time to add a quart or so of chloroform to my wish list?

[lightningspark]

sure.

The man with no past. Anybody that good at keeping secrets has a lot of stuff to hide. Not good stuff.

That said? I don't trust the guy with a past either. Baggage.

And I don't trust the acquaintance either. I'm keeping my baccardi WAY over here, out of his reach, so he can't put anything in it when I'm not looking. Why is he so soft-spoken? That's just creepy.

The whole thing is creepy. I don't like this tavern. Fuck it. I'm going home.

this comment made me cackle.

katya actually asked if i just went crazy.

i fucking love you.

[keleos]

Right back atcha, baby.

[lightningspark]

blast.

I would go ask the man with a past what the deal was with my 'acquaintance" and why he hates everybody...

Then I would ask the man with no past what his favorite movie was to see what would happen.

Then I'd have some Scotch, go home, and bang my husband, who should probably be in the bar with me anyways, shaking his head and making faces.

[lightningspark]

this.

this is why you're my best friend.
