That's Good Eatin'

Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: (Looking through mailer) Would you like to go to Floyd's Barbecue?
me: Why would I want that?
Brenda: We could get $5.00 off any cut.
me: Any cut of what? (Looking at flyer for Floyd's Barbershop not Barbecue)
me: (Seeing picture of barber holding razor poised over a man's cheek) Looks like you can pick your own meat.
Brenda: Oh my God I need new glasses.

I overheard someone of my generation (born in the early 60's) recently say, "Kids today don't even know how to write in cursive," in a negative way. That statement got grumbled agreement from the codgers nearby. I was thinking without saying out loud, "Grandma, you can't even turn on your laptop without getting six viruses and wiring half your retirement money to a Nigerian Prince."

Shopping Day. I went grocery shopping earlier today because I had the afternoon free and I prefer to get it done when I have the chance as opposed to shopping at night because that's the only time available after a full day's activity. Added bonus: no UOAS. Go »

I'm sure a modern-day update of Sweeney Todd could change the meat pies to BBQ.
