So today at the bar...

[AngryAmish]

I sat in traffic for 2 hours. I needed a beer.

Got to talking to the guy next to me. He told me, in order,

1. He was an electrician.

2. He beat up my roommate in college.

3. He was a nihilist.

4. he did not like people from third world countries.

5. He worshiped Satan.

Why do I talk to strangers?

[everythingsxen]

1. That's kind of cool

Certainly an interesting person...

[AngryAmish]

2. Interesting is a word

Scary is another.

[everythingsxen]

4. Yeah but you got out without incident..

so it was just interesting. :D

[liontamer]

3. did he actually beat up your roomate in college?

[AngryAmish]

5. Yes

The guy he beat up was my roomate for half a semester but he actually got beat up a lot (bad drunk). The stories matched up pretty good.

[liontamer]

6. well that's a bizarre coincidence

kind of makes the whole conversation worthwhile (especially if you're still in touch with the roomate)
