Okay, so not exactly 20 years ago TODAY, but I CAN admit that my 20th high school reunion was last fall. Ugh. I didn’t go. But anyway, I have nothing interesting to report craftwise or foodwise, so I thought I’d bore some of you with the following tidbit. The eavesdropping site<\/a> reminded me of a time in high school when a group of us went to our local hangout, Fryer’s Quality Pie. It was a 24-hour joint that served a huge variety of pie. It was a weird and unhip place, and we loved it. This one time we were seated at the big table directly underneath the bug zapper. There was a balding guy in a pink oxford cloth shirt sitting by himself in the corner. After we’d been there for a while, he got up and handed us a couple sheets of steno paper on which he had jotted snippets of our conversation. I still have those sheets, and this is what they say:
\nGROUP. I am not a punk rocker
\nWait–let us order
\nHow about buttermilk pancakes
\nThey spelled biscuits right
\nIs it good?
\nI get scared really easily
\nSoft or hard ice cream
\nOK I’ll get it
\nWith a glass of milk
\nI have to have mlk
\nI hate milk
\na la mode
\nI could … every day
\nOh shut up!
\nI don’t like any dairy product in my food.
\nShe’s like half …
\nHalf-what?
\nOK. What about her?
\nDo you like her?
\nShe’s supposed to be really nice.
\nWhat happened, what happened?
\nSo Lisa & Mary …
\nThere was blood on it …
\nMurdered girls with a cleaver
\nYou guys … I’m sorry
\nManson was white.
\nThis is a very simplistic explanation
\nIt could have been better
\nDid you see …
\nWho? Who?
\nVitamin deficiency
\nDo fish face
\nDo it! Do it!
\nPut your lips out
\nDo fish lips
\nHer eyes look better
\nHmmm!
\nAre they punk rockers!
\nWhat kind is it.
\nWho’s that?
\nHe was in European History
\nTyler never came
\n…Levi’s for at least a year.
\n…turn in inside-out.
\nHot. Water Water Hot
\nWhat. We’re considered a clique.
\nI’ve told this to Tina
\nBe quiet. Every single one of you said that to me
\nThat’s so funny. That’s funny
\nIt’s true. Who belongs to this clique.
\nDavid likes that. Maybe David needs that.
\nEVeryone’s like that. Frozen yogurt.
\n…is so disgusting
\nI remember we had a big laugh reading it and trying to figure out who said what. Idiocy can be fun, you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
