Today at GNC:
Employee: “Do you need a multi- vitamin?”
B: “Nah. My doc said I’m good without them. I haven’t taken them since January.”
E: “And how do you feel?”
B: “Like I look…awesome.”
E: “OK then.”
Find Someone You Can Trust. And Then Trust Them.
Fuck, how depressing man:
“Brian, thank you so much for helping. We honestly could not have done this without your generous help. You’re a dream. We shall be off on a new adventure living an abbreviated life in abbreviated space; who knows for how much longer? We are both 86 yrs. old.”
Welcome back to Baltimore

R: “One of the things I love about you is your bluntness, but sometimes it’s like being punched in the nose.”
B: “Don’t you prefer that over ignoring something that immediately just gets in the way?”
R; “Yeah, but a tender poke would be enough.”
B: “In the nose?”
