What I learned last night. Wednesday Jan 28, Murphy’s Pub and Casey’s Condo, Seattle

What I learned last night.

1. When talking on a cell phone, you are 43% more likely of getting hit by a car in Miami by a hooker. Another golden nugget of knowledge from Murphy’s Pub Wednesday Night trivia, or actually as manipulated by a table of tech geeks. We lost at trivia this time, but only during the final quick fire beer guzzling round. Although Ben can guzzle a beer faster than the buck-o-five Asian girl – contrary to popular belief he does not know the state inhabited by the mother of the child who died of 7-11 salmonella Ketchup potato chip poisoning. We have learned it is not Alabama. Ben looks harmless enough, but this guy has an evil side. Like, “First one’s on me, kid” kind of evil side. This evil side of Ben taught me to smoke a Nat Sherman clove cigarette like Humphrey Bogart/James Dean. The technique is to hold to smokeable filter end between your thumb and pointer fingers, with the smoking aflame end cupped, hidden from outside view in the palm of your hand. And if a brick or concrete wall is nearby you must lean up against it…with knee propped up, hat pulled down over eyes, leather jacket collar up. (I only had a 1970’s rabbit fur.) Very nonchalant. You totally know the look. Ben is more chic chic then he lets on. Maybe Ben was just trying to get me alone outside. We hid a clove in the window pane in case we are ever in need of re-enacting Humphy and sans cig.


2. When Casey buys a condo, you will eat taco.
So, Casey buys a condo. A purchase requiring a longer and more thoroughly thought out commitment then marriage or raising a child to adulthood. 30 years guaranteed! So Casey carefully plans her first get-together for Friday evening. Might I note that Casey is all about theme parties. More on the “Awkward Party” at a later time... Genius.

The theme of her first get together at this new condo? Any guesses? What do you think it could be? Chick Taco Night. Literally. All chicks. Eating tacos. Condos, chicks , and tacos. It’s Taco night at Casey’s new digs. Wonder if the Exotic Bakery sells pink taco shells…

3. There's something to be said for a man you can sit still with. The end says Mary
