I had a dream last night that I was starring in my high school production of Back to the Future. I forget what part I was playing, but it may have been Marty McFly. I would rather’ve had the part of George McFly, because it’s a funnier, more fun part, isn’t it, but what are you going to do. They gave me a bigger part.

We were sitting eating and one of us noticed a short heavyset black man sitting alone at the adjacent table.

You know how he likes clothes. Read more »
