Douchebags, part one

Cary Randolph (via AIM): So I'm going on a date with [Redacted]
RTC: Yeah I read that. You're like a greatest hits CD of a band called Bad Decision.
CR: I have an idea.
CR: Find me a guy in Where-the-fuck-ever, and if you give me the OK, you can set it up. I fold.
RTC: Haha. Sounds like a plan to me.
CR: No more silver set, no more law schoolers (unless...), no more douchebags. They will have to have the RTC stamp of approval before they can even talk to me at bars.
RTC: Well, at least you won't date creeps. Child molesters maybe, but not db's.
CR: Well, I'm not a child, so they won't molest me. How's that for logical?
RTC: Bingo bango!
CR: Wango tango!
CR: Okay, that is settled.

Email conversation between Mommy and me

Cary Randolph: Well, the dermatologist’s appointment went something like this: I waited in a reception area full of white trash with lesions and pestilence for about 20 minutes. (One woman had the audacity to change her baby’s diaper. In a medical waiting room. WTF?)
Mommy MCF: Oh honey I'm sorry it was so unpleasant. I went to Penney's at lunch today to buy a little shell to wear under a jacket and a GIRL was changing her baby's diaper ON THE FLOOR right in front of the waiting room door. Disgusting. I never did that.
CR: Is it “Wipe Your Child’s Ass in Public Day”? I don’t understand. The worst scenario was on the plane from LAX to STL last month when this couple, God they were awful, let their children yell and jump around and generally act like hooligans during our 4-HOUR WAIT ON THE TARMAC and then the dad changed his kid on the floor in the aisle. Not only is that disgusting for everyone within sight (and smell) range, but it also must be very unsanitary for the baby lying on an airplane floor…in coach.
MCF: At least they should wait and do it when they can afford first class. That should go in your blog.
