I mentioned a long time back about this old dude I see at the bus stop sometimes. He just sits there waiting except for whenever a young woman walks past he will chuck out some line to her. Here's his new one:

Do you work for McDonald's?

(pause)

Because I am lovin' it.

I don't know, it seems like something that would be irritating if someone sort of yelled that to you when you walked by. But he is really fucking old so I don't know-- I wonder what it seems like to his targets.

I'm worrying about "they"-- but if I try suddenly the lines-- when thinking various absurd guy things, and anyways, in that certain state of mind if I tried it they might stop suddenly, or what?

The old thinking, various absurd thought lines. I really would hope they'd just go past the stop suddenly and pretend like nothing happened. But later I'd go check on craigslist to see if any one of them mention it. I'm not old enough to get the absurd old guy breaks, not old enough not to look like my state of mind.
