hahaha and indeed i was! that story just gets better. nothing good every happened when i used the bergen station! you get all the good stuff. i love the visual of groucho running. I might do that in public at random times.

today i chatted with a man drinking beer out of what would normally be a brown paper bag, but instead was completely printed with graphic promos for Dog The Bounty Hunger "bagging criminals, not lunch!" and the guy was lamenting how he felt it was giving his secret away. Not too much art left on A&E eh? I told him it was still his bagged lunch, whatver he chose to have. He laughed and seemed to feel better.

that's me, reassurring the good natured derelicts, block by block.

friends of mine who were in clowns in Barnum and Baily Circus were witnesses to the firing of Chester, who was part of the set up crew and a real derelict. he had showed up to work drinking vodka from a shampoo bottle thinking this would hide his little secret. after the firing he left weeping and hugged a few zebras good bye on his way out. true story

also, i was at the Folsom Street Fair a few years back and this little old Chinese man was drinking alcohol from a Wishbone salad dressing bottle with a straw. the bottle was wrapped in a clear plastic bag. he eventually exposed his weiner to those who cared. we have a picture of it somewhere.

Mia,
:)

Eric, visit soon. I miss your stories.
