Ow.

Went Christmas shopping last night. Slipped on the wet ice outside Best Buy. Landed on:

--Curb
--Right coat pocket, which was full of those orange Tootsie Pops I got at the Quickie Mart while buying a Sunday paper two weeks ago and haven't put in the candy jar.
--Right trouser pocket, which contained approximately $30,000 in quarters.

So, ow.

On the bright side, got my brother some fab classic movies for nothing.

Ow.

Although I'm surprised you still have a right trouser pocket, considering how many quarters you had in there. Is it a special pocket, or special trousers?

They may be special quarters. Now, instead of the profile of Thomas Jefferson, they're emblazoned with the Geek Squad logo.

I like those orange tootsie pops.

It's pretty much the only orange candy I can get nowadays.

Orange Mike & Ikes are good.

Oh, wait, are you vegetarian?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

No, but Mike & Ikes kind of creep me out.

[twigcollins.livejournal.com]

Really? Intriguing!

(I am mostly put out about "Now & Laters" because they are obviously lying.)

Chocolate oranges?

Chocolate oranges?

No. Orange candy should be hard, the way God intended.

I'm always happy when someone else calls a random convenience store a Quickie Mart. It was a running joke when I was in the Peace Corps; the volunteeers would all stay at the same hostel whenever we were in Manila (if you're ever going, I can give you the address), and everyone called the convenience store on the corner the Quickie Mart. I think that makes you an honorary member of the Peace Corps.

There was also an 'entertainment' club on the corner, which led to a wacky misunderstanding when I told an English guy about the women standing on the corner wearing oversized men's shirts and no pants. His immediate reaction was, "How could you tell?"

That's fantastic. Seriously. "Well, after that one time I saw Jacquelyne Pearce at a convention, the image is pretty much burned into my mind."
