it's a tragedy for all of us, really

best quote i've seen in a long time:

"The fact that I'm not friends with Tom Waits is a tragedy. I don't even know him, but I love him."

-Billy Bob Thornton

i know, i was so bummed i missed it, too! i'd heard he was coming, but realized i was too late when one of my clients informed me she had gone. after hearing how hard it was to get tickets though, i figured i wouldn't have been able to, anyway. like you, i didn't have the money.

this dude im friends with/was dating is like obsessed with tom waits. he got to go to that concert recently. when he found out that tickets were on sale, he told me i wasnt allowed to tell ANYONE because he wanted to make sure he could get tickets. i guess there was a 2 ticket maximum or something.

anyway, weird.

i hears about the 2 ticket maximum, also. and you could only pick them up at the box office. i guess he was trying to avoid scalping, and people selling them on ebay for much higher prices, which is kind of cool, i guess. tom waits is so awesome, i think everyone who listens to him wants to hang out with him. :)

you mean, this isnt the best quote you have heard?

Salesgirl: And, with this purchase, you get a free set of panties. What size would you like?
Girl #1: Oh, really? Cool. Medium, please.
Girl #2: How are you a size 4 in pants and an extra-small in shirts but a medium in underwear?
Girl #1: Well, underwear always run true to size. You can't kid yourself into thinking you look skinny when your thongs are cutting off circulation to your labia.

I've been saying that same thing for years and years.
