You couldn't make up shit like this. :D

Only the change has been named.
(e.g. "Donald Moore's change", "Guy who buys a lot of porn's change".)

Sorry, it was a stretch.

An excellent stretch and nothing to apologize for!

No, it was awesome. I'm not firing on all syllables lately.

You should write a book.

A screenplay.

This American Life had a segment on recently comparing the stress in the life of a soldier in Afghanistan with a dealer in downtown Philly. Lots of shootings. Constantly having to be on guard, etc.

Thought about what stress you might be living with, UT.

"I couldn't make this shit up if I tried!" was a regular interjection in storytelling amongst my teacher friends.

I kinda wish "retarded or high" was like a game show, where the audience could vote and then we'd see how many people got it right.

While I'll be sad to lose the interesting stories, I do hope you're able to get out of there soon, UT, before the place bruises your heart and soul for good.

"Constantly on guard" is exactly it peetz. And paranoid: every customer will run out with an item if you let them; everything brought in is probably broken; everyone is trying to get one over on you.

And everyone believes you are getting one over on them. Everyone is suspicious of you.

Maybe your next job could be in law enforcement. Seems to have some similarities.

Or may----bee you could do both at the same time. Two fer.
