I once overheard a person in a diner talking about the long awaited album by LAZE!

The Bridge Diner is such a slice of Americana. Never have I so fully bathed myself in blue collar Maryland. God bless them all.

Actual conversation between myself, my friend Vince, and a very, very insane homeless lady named Carol, that took place at a Denny's in Niles, Ohio.

C - hey, you kids wanna buy this pen for a dollar and help me out? (it was actually a broken mecahnical pencil)

V - uh, no thanks.

C - (noticing my lower lip piercing) Hey, did that help you get your eyes back better? That thing in your lip there, that's cute, did that help with your eyes?

Me - Um, no?

C - Gee, that's too bad, you're a nice girl, you know, I should get me one of them, maybe I could get my eyes back, you know, the doctors, they had to take the bones out of my foot, they took the two bones out and put three bones back in.

Vince and I - Um . . .

C - Yeah, and they took my eyes, and I've been living on a hill under a tree for a year, I've gotta get to the FBI and see about getting my eyes back, and then I have to go Vegas and kill someone (starts muttering and wanders away . . . .

Molly -- WOW.

BTW -- You must really be into Denny's... I came across this (see May 18) trying to figure out why your name and e-mail address sounds familiar.

Ryan -
If you'd ever been to Niles Ohio you'd know that there's nothing else to do.
