is what I got called this evening by the liquor store attendant for buying a 12er of OM. If I wanted taste I would've went up the street to the better liquor store I told him, he scowled and gave me back my change. As I walked out the door I heard him discussing my purchase to the man who was behind me in line. I am now drunk.

Mission accomplished.

I would have bludgeoned him with a can of OM while screaming 'Fuck Canada!'

I woulda thrown it at him, 'specially if it was a glass bottle. Of course, in Flint all the liquor store cashiers are behind bulletproff glass for exactly this reason so the desired result (ie, head trauma and bleeding) is negated.
Not that I've made a habit of throwing glass bottles at convenience store cashiers. Just that the general populace is inclined to do so.
My god, what has this "city" done to me?

somebody yelled 'homeless' at me from a car window the other day

Jeez, i was just waiting on a bench, not sleeping there.

were you drinking out of a brown paper bag or something? pehaps looking a bit disheveled.

i was hungover and unshaven, wearing torn jeans and an open shirt

might explain it i guess

That was you??? Sorry about that...

Aren't you also OPA?

what, like you never took a nap on the sidewalk before

Hawaii has some world class bums in residence anyway

including the first one man band ive ever seen

Once, a friend and I went to a Senseless Things gig and after a night of stage diving and general boisterousness it was time to go home.

Our hair was straggy and all over the place, our clothes sweaty, pulled out of shape and torn and we may have had alcohol on our breath.

Anyway, we were waiting under a railway bridge for the bus, our bottom half sprawled out on the pavement, our top half propped up against the wall, when a guy, obviously out on a date, walked past and threw us some coins.

For some reason being mistaken for homeless was regarded as a badge of honour and the money was spent on a fish supper, most of which was launched skyward in order to provoke mid-air seagull fights.

snooty liquor store attendant = silly

You sell booze to people who drink booze. Get over it.

If he were a video store attendant he'd chuckle at those who buy Massive Mams Beach Party 18 but give an approving look to one who has the good taste to get Partito Voluminoso Diciotto Della Spiaggia Di Peti.

It's like a Dashboard Confessional fan looking down on Thrice.

Nice comeback. Being fast on your feet is awesome! I'm sure his joke is one he uses often, but your retort was probably new to him. haha

I'll bet it was the Cher tune you were humming

If it were "Bang Bang" it were cool. If it were "Just Like Jesse James" it were not.
