On the 12th day of Christmas

[robby]

I scored a bottle of Remy Martin Cognac, and a Handspring visor deluxe. It's nice to be appreciated and loved and showered with more and more gifts. I've never had a PDA, and I'm toying with the idea of buying a modem for it, and connecting to the internet via my cell phone. I have a Qualcomm phone that is able to do that, it also has text messaging, but I've never used that feature.

I was out today in the rain, doing errands, and was stopped in a parking lot by an elegant European woman. Her Acura wouldn't start, so she handed me her keys and asked me to fix her car. After a minute, I realized her battery terminal was loose, and had her sit in the car, while I twisted the cable until it was tight on the post. It started like a charm, and she took it very matter of factly; she thanked me and drove away. I realize now she was a consummate judge of men. She knew I could fix her car. I wonder who she would have chosen for a torrid love affair.

Did she ask nicely, or did she really just give you the keys and expect you to help her?

I think she was sort of stressed. Maybe she had to be somewhere quickly. I thought it was a rather odd interaction, but I played my role to perfection.

What a bitch. If it was me (or my mom) I'd give you a couple dollars and say, "Go get yourself a cup of coffee." I don't know...that's how I was raised. Selfish people like that piss me off. I hope you made a mistake and her car blows up!!

I thought it was sort of funny, and I would have been offended if she had handed me a few dollars. Remember I'm the late 60's David Bowie!

Well then, in that case, did you tell her about your fork lift?

No, to be honest, I think she had been stuck there for a while, was stressed, and had to go somewhere. She didn't want any small talk. she wanted a man that could take care of business. I'm Ok with fixing her car, maybe it will make up for some of the bad things I've done in the past.

I hear ya. I think I'm still making up for the time I rigged a rope to try to trip Grandma Gus, but I tripped Uncle Duke instead.

You've only got 3 decades worth of transgressions to make up! I'm actually presently at the point of making up for misdeeds in the summer of 1988, and that should take me quite a while. (I was 23 years old!)

What's the baddest thing you ever did?

Did I ever tell you I would make a good spy? I can't tell you the terrible things I've done. No joke.

As long as it doesn't involve me :)

I'll tell you one if you tell me one.
