Long Live The King
I consider myself to be the reigning king of awkward small talk. You know how when a movie ticket taker tells you to enjoy your show and you say, “Thanks. You too.” That’s got nothing on me. Last night I was in the Stinky Kroger wearing my WMU hoodie. A lady approached me from the end of the aisle and this is what we said:
Her: Are you from Michigan?
Me: I sure am.
Her: Me too.
Me: Great!
Her: I saw your shirt.
Me: Thanks.
Having thanked a stranger for noticing my shirt, I awkwardly walked away. Yeah, I’m that smooth. As I’m writing this, I just realized I’ll have to turn this into a Johnny Rockstar cartoon.

Awkward conversationalist...Fantastic writer! What makes you so good is that you take notice of the little things in life and relay them in poignant detail. And I'm NOT biased!

John, I haven't been to your website in years. I will be drinking Miller High Life and catching up on your daily anecdotes for the remainder of the night.
