ii) Likewise, Spokane is not Spo-cane, as in Cain smote Able, it's Spo-kan rhymes with Cannes, like the film festival.
As in, "Spokane, You don't have to put on the red light

Girl, all that smart talk is overrated in certain situations. I used to have a pump sprayer filled with ice and water to do stealth attacks on f*cks on the street. Shooting a cold blast of water in the ear of some shit and watching the stunned "where in the fuck did that come from" look on their face is priceless.
mrcrisp:
aside from it being a complete bullshit holiday, i enjoy the opportunity to pretend i have the day off. because, let's face it, only banks and government offices close on colombus day.
but today doesn't exactly "suck." it was just overwhelmingly awkward this morning.
so what's in store for me tomorrow?

No hard feelings, I hope. As well, what part of the state? I'm thinking Bristol, for its Ren Fair, or Madison, as it has the flagship u. and the attendant party-scene. But, really, it could be anywhere.
I know that Door County is a popular "weekending" destination.

Random as this may be, I have to tell you that whenever I happen to wander over to Subrosa's page, I see this comment of yours, and the "So no. I won't bite your assholes" part cracks me up, every time.
So, um . . . thanks for the amusement, I guess? The purpose of me mentioning this is unclear, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Hope your move went well. Mine was surprisingly good. Still waiting for the other shoe to drop ... I'm way up in Rogers Park now: where are you? I work in the loop, so I can spring out anywhere for drinks. What nights are good?

I hope that MOMA, the Guggenheim, and the Natural History Museum, are on your itinerary. 
as for home town theme song, i've lived in so many places that i might as well settle with talking heads' "cities."
