The Goldberg File: "So the question remains: Why is French-hating so popular today? It's not like they've denied us fly-over rights recently. We haven't had to liberate Paris again (yet). French forces haven't fired on us like they did during Operation Torch in North Africa. They haven't stuck us with Vietnam, or propped up Carrot Top's career the way they kept Jerry Lewis going all those years. And yet, if Major League Baseball goes on strike, smacking frogs with heavy sticks may finally become the national pastime, as God no doubt intended"

I know its wrong of me, but I can't help it. I just love a good France-bashing article (with no offense intended to our french speaking neighbors to the north, or in my case, the south--most French Canadians can drink beer, watch hockey, and chop down trees as well as any red blooded American)  8:40:11 PM     Add a comment   

By the way, the worst thing about being a video store clerk isn't the porn-renters, it's the B-Movie People.  8:34:24 PM     Add a comment   

These are great! True Porn Clerk Stories  [The smelly feet] [jenett.radio] [life - listed chronologically]

Sometimes new customers don't see the security cameras right away, and they sure as hell don't expect the Voice of God mike. When you're scrutinizing the charming cover art of White Trash Whore the last thing you want is to be chastized by a booming voice from above.

Talk about bringing back memories! This snapped me right back to the college video store clerk years! Our most unusual customer was the bathrobe guy. He'd arrive in the early morning, wearing either a bathrob, or pajama bottoms. He was incredibly polite, as anyone who leaves their home in pajamas has to be if they don't want to get evicted from the video store (or the supermarket, or the espresso bar), but also incredibly creepy.

The best part? He was also one of those ambulance chasing TV lawyers, as evidenced by the bar association card that he left behind on the floor of the adult section one too many times for it to be accidental.  8:18:08 PM     Add a comment   

Update: It was a guy in a white jacket.  8:08:57 PM     Add a comment   

Okay, either a guy in a white jacket keeps ducking into my driveway, hiding behind my truck, and then running off, or I'm seeing things. Neither one is especially comforting.  7:47:33 PM     Add a comment
