You: cute, dark-haired, yellow shirt, on your cell phone
Me: first floor apartment, didn't know my roommate left the blinds open, fresh out of the shower
Your dog: Great Dane, bewildered, possibly traumatized
Let's have a drink and discuss therapy options for your dog. If something more happens, I'll make sure the door is closed so the pooch doesn't have to see it all again.

UPDATE: I can only presume this is a response, since it isn't relevant to anything else from the past few days.

What neighborhood????
What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Well this weekend I had the most patriotic ice cream in the world, and it was awesome.
Damn, I wish we had some ice cream. Time to gorge myself on M&M's.
Book: Show us one of your favorite works of fiction.
Everyone should read this book. Everyone.
Shortly thereafter, he was arrested for public indecency. Through shrewd political maneuvering, he was able to avoid being registered as a sex offender, allowing him to continue working with children, which he does to this day. Their parents are unaware of his history.
What's the most famous movie you've never seen?
Submitted by Mike.
The number of movies I haven't seen that "everyone" knows is staggering, the list is possibly into the hundreds. As for classics, there's Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, The Godfather trilogy, and countless others. I've only seen 59 of the imdb top 250 (though it admittedly skews a little toward "instant history") and parts of a few others listed. Until recently I'd never seen an Indiana Jones movie. I don't know why the Terminator is after Sarah Connor. We watched It's A Wonderful Life for the first time this Christmas. With regards to anything produced outside of the past fifteen years, I'm pop-culturally illiterate.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Dr. Strangelove..., and Leon the Professional are tops on the list to add to my collection and cross off the "never seen" list.
Yeah, I guess it's been a while. I kinda half-forgot I had a vox. What did I miss? Here is a duck.
1. Melissa tagged me for this so I have to do it. Melissa and I are engaged. Hi, honey! I never imagined that trying to plan a wedding would be so damn hard.
2. I'm getting a puppy soon, which is pretty exciting. I dogsit for some friends who have a labradoodle, and he has recently sired two litters of (totally cute) pups. Because they let the breeder use him, they get a free puppy, and are generously allowing me to have it.
3. I've been a Colts fan as long as I can remember. The first game I can really remember that had an impact on me as a young fan was the '95 AFC Championship game in Pittsburgh when the Colts got robbed on bad calls (which never would have happened in our current Golden Age of Instant Replay, right Reggie Wayne?) but they hung in there until Harbaugh tossed up a last-second hail mary to the end zone, and when it dropped to the ground my heard was broken and I was stuck with another losing team for the rest of my life.
4. I've also been a Cubs fan since shortly after my birth. I've come to regret this in the past year.
5. I haven't done this in so long that I have no one to tag, but if I come up with anyone I'll do it. Y'all got lucky.
What's your method for calculating a tip?
I like to tip well, or at least think that I do. At a casual restaurant (i.e. Steak 'n Shake), paying only for myself, I tend to leave a dollar plus whatever change is left from the bill, as long as it's substantial. In other situations I tend to estimate 15% (before tax) and round up to the nearest convenient amount.
At bars, I tend to tip a dollar every other drink. I don't go anywhere classy and rarely get mixed drinks or shots, so 50 cents for a three dollar beer seems about right to me.
There have been times when I've gone to dinner with my grandparents and felt obligated to slip a few extra dollars from my wallet onto the table after they've already done their part. It's not like any of them are cheap (well, maybe a little bit) but they're just out of touch. That's how it gets with old people. I don't want some waitress who's having a shitty frustrating night to get screwed over if I can help it. Too many people are assholes, I'm not going to get lumped in there with 'em.
