'My jimmy hats.' I love that phrase. When shit is street and I don't get it or kinda get it makes me laugh out of control. Like a your so cool It's killing me sort of laugh. This is one of the many reason to listen to Hip Hop.
Anyway I was in New Hampshire in September with Caleb and Mike and Wren and Robin and C, M and I went for a Booze run to 'Tax-Free Booze Heaven' (no Tax in NH) We are looking around shopping for booze and I forgot my wallet and looking as young as I do I wasn't going to risk buying anything. So we select our boozey cheapnesses and walk up the counter and the american lady says "can I see you id's"
Caleb: yep
Mike: sure
American Lady: What about you?
ME: ME!?
American Lady: Yes, you.
ME: I'm not buying anything.
American Lady: You touched it?
Me: What?
American Lady: I saw you touch it.
Me: I- I- I
American Lady: I was watching.
Me, Caleb and Mike in unison: ...!
Me: ...well ...I forgot my wallet.
American Lady: I'm sorry. I can't sell to you.
Me, Caleb and Mike in unison: ...!
American Lady: You'll have to leave.
Me and Caleb in unison: ...!
Mike: He's 31! Are you telling me you don't think he's 19?
American Lady: He maybe 19, but the legal age is 21.
Mike: ...f u c k...
We leave. We go next door. We buy booze.
Americans, free and easy with guns and hard as nails with their booze. The worst thing was I didn't leave my wallet at the cabin, I left it in the car. double doe!
Today's Song of the Day is "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" by A Tribe Called Quest off "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm" released in 1990.
