Where do you want this killin’ done
Before I went out to meet my friends at a local bar last night, I read claims on a local message board that this bar is THE PLACE to score cocaine. I was worried about having to deal with some amped up assholes.
It was very quiet there when we arrived at around 8:30. About 45 later, a young ultra-Orthodox [Jewish] couple arrived. One of the bartenders introduced them to the other one as Abraham and Sarai–very apt, I thought. It’s unheard of for the Orthodox to hang at a local bar. Maybe there are special Orthodox bars, but I don’t know anything about that. I watched to see if maybe they’d get bottled beer, so as to not need to use glassware which is probably not kosher. But they got mudslides, in regular glasses and subsequently drifted outside to smoke with one of the bartenders.
I asked myself, “Could they be the suppliers?” I mean, that would be a good reason for this very traditional looking couple to be hanging at a bar. The Borough Park Snow Connection?
This is a problem when I’m supposedly out to socialize. Instead of giving my full energy to socialing with my friends, I am making up a story about people in the bar. Bad Friend! But I kept myself entertained–I usually do. And I would very much like to know the Abraham and Sarai story…which is probably not as interesting as I want it to be.

Must be a February 12th thing, Cranky. I do that all the time. Although I do something even insidious. I look at guys and think: Are they married? Are they happy? Are they cheating on their wives. How are they doing it? My bad! Guess I’m just naturally suspicious.

Out here on highway 61. You with the cocaine and me with the acid.

Very interesting! It certainly does make you think what could possibly be going on. MUDSLIDES??? Weird.
I use that vivid imagination to think up things to worry about with the kids or hubby, like if they are 15 minutes late, they are probably in a ditch somewhere.
Hope you have a fun New Year and an even better 2008. It’s been so fun tagging along.
