For a while G was "dating" the Nephew's girlfriend's sister.
Big nights out, double dates, for a while they were "bros" in the literal sense of the word, but somehow or another it fell apart.
G's explaining it to me.
"He said she was a slut..."
And I'm raising an eyebrow, G continues...
"I mean, from the stories he told me I was pretty sure she'd..."
Graceless, this, where upon hearing a girl's a slut I'd lose interest fast, G's interest was piqued, he played his cards wrong, though, got nowhere fast, and now he's blaming the Nephew.
"Why would you be interested if you thought she was a slut?" I ask by way of provoking him, inferring by my tone that he really ought to know better and somehow the fault is his, he sees where I'm going, doesn't want to answer. She's blocked him from her BBM, Facebook, doesn't answer when he calls, I can only surmise somehow he came on a little strong, heavy in his hopefulness that she was easy, he's a bit upset.
Meekly now, defensive, it's not his fault: "He said she was a slut..." .
"Well, buy them a drink then..."

We have a group in the restaurant, oil & gas, name of the reservation synonymous with recent world wars and corruption. You can't have turned on a TV in the past year or watched a documentary without seeing some reference to their nefarious doings.
The owner doesn't recognize their name, "Oil and Gas?" he asks, I explain that their name is synonymous with the Iraq war, Internment Camps, environmental catastrophes, high level corruption and oligarchy in both the US and abroad.
He thinks for a moment on this, then:
"Well, buy them a drink then..."

From the same blogger who brought you letters of note comes another one: Lists of Note.
I like lists, and so it only makes sense that I'd like reading other peoples lists, often as screwy and messed up as my own...

Having avoided answering the phone, checking my email, all for naught, Sadie Hawkins Day passed again without a single marriage proposal.
Although, having informed a table celebrating a 20th birthday of the attendant folk customs the feted birthday girl, just turning 20, Great Grandma as it were, suggests that perhaps she should propose marriage to me. How to escape this? "Darling, at 20 you're far, far too young, call me when you're 37 or so...".
