Dude comes in with a young dog on a "leash" (in this case, a rope tied around the dog's chest). My co-worker kindly informs the man that he cannot bring a dog into the coffee shop. To which he replies, in a possibly-affected British accent, "It's my seeing-eye dog."
Allison and I look at each other and shrug, 'cause it's not even 6pm and the evening's already been kind of weird. The place is packed, except for a single seat in the front window. Our man saunters the vacant table and starts yelling at the dog -- whose name is Whiskey -- to lie down.
At top volume.
"Whiskey, lie down!! Lie down, Whiskey! I said, lie down!!!" and so on.
Allison brings him his tea and quietly tells him he can stay with the dog, but he really has to keep his voice down. The reply:
"I have to yell; it's my seeing-eye dog."

After he finished his tea, he strolled up to where I was at the cash sans Whiskey and thanked me for what was the finest cup of tea he'd had in ages.

I had a dream this morning. A dream that you unleashed an out of this world blog with the title of "Astro-Ali's ............."
and dedicated it to a specific mission statement or state of being. In the same way that Astro boy and girl had to sum up their missions to the chief computer @ the end of each and every episode...All your triumphs and tragedies were reported into the blogosphere and revolved around one specific theme: the fulfillment of your purest destiny. The blog tracked you moving closer and closer to your destiny....until....until...and then I woke up...
(but in the dream you still kept serendipity because your life still had, and will always have plenty of serendipidilicousness).
I might be rambling...i might delete this when i wake up :P
Oh man, crazy people are great! Especially the ones who figure that they are the smartest people in history. "If I write out an IOU from the guverment, the bank will HAVE to cash it!" kind of people are hilarious.
I think it would rule if you had an Astro Boy type blog. but only if you purposely made an error in your reports, in order to play with us. I wonder how much of recorded history could be just made up parts of this game?
