ranting and raving, as usual
i have one rant and one rave for you today. enjoy.
rant: i hate people who can’t parallel park intelligently. here’s the deal. when the sign indicates that you can’t park beyond a certain point (i.e. beyond the sign), you pull up AS CLOSE TO THE SIGN AS POSSIBLE so as to make room for other cars. you don’t fucking plant your Buick 8 feet from the sign and think, “ho hum, good thing i found a spot, now i’ll go vote Democratic and buy a new pair of Birkenstocks while i’m away from the commune.” no, asshole, you think about EFFICIENCY and the COMMON GOOD. i swear, every time i see one car taking up two spots, i want to slash the damn tires.
rave: ok, now that that’s settled, let’s talk about something more pleasant. D&D has the best damn soda i’ve tasted in years. they actually put the right amount of syrup in their fountain machine instead of trying to rip off the customer with some watered-down crap. have you tasted a real Coke? i mean, Coke is REALLY good when it’s good. and it’s good at D&D. and D&D is a half block from my apartment. there’s something to be thankful for.
