Oh, goody.
Rumors already abound on the subway this morning, as highschool kids talk out their asses about the events surrounding the capture of the boston bombers.
They're even talking about how they'd have gone down fighting, too, and trying to one-up each other with other tales about what they would've done.
...and now we've moved on to talking about how they were all, apparently, going to run the marathon this year. One of them was going to run last year, but he didn't. His friend, coincidentally, did run the marathon last year, but not this year.
Right.
The fat, pimply kid gnawing on a chicken wing ON THE FUCKING SUBWAY AT 7:40am ran the Boston marathon last year, but not this year...because he's over it.
Bullshit.
Speaking of bullshit, did you hear the latest in frivolous lawsuits?
A Korean lady in New Jersey, Hyun Lee, (you'll see why it's imperative to use her actual full name in a moment) is suing CVS, because one of the pharmacy workers "changed her name to Ching Chong on the receipt." She decided that that was a racial slur, and is now suing CVS for a cool million for emotional distress.
Here's the thing:
It didn't occur to her that she might have gotten the wrong prescription. She went right for racism. As unlikely as it sounds, there may in fact be a "Ching Chong" who uses that pharmacy. I've known two Chings in my life, and everyone knows Chong is an actual, rather common last name (See Tommy, Rae Dawn, et al).
So who's the racist?
Well there is one saving grace. The science festival kicked off last night, so over the weekend, I hope to take a refreshing dip in the gene pool.
