SINGLE-PAYER COFFEE DRINKERS
There's a slot in the front door of Naro Video, where you can drop off returning videos before they open at noon. This morning I returned the first season of Extras, which I have now viewed 158 times, allowing me to recite the dialogue along with the actors, a skill which will allow me to Mildly Annoy© anyone who chooses to watch it with me, which is the fly in the ointment, since anyone who might be remotely interested in doing so will already be aware of my predilections and who will have to wash their hair on that night. Be that as it may, and don't you hate people who say 'be that as it may'? Perhaps it makes you Mildly Annoyed©? Be that as it may, when I dropped said video in the slot, a Boston Terrier immediately appeared, snatched it up, and trotted back into the dark recesses of the store with it. Now that's service! Just try that at Blockbuster! I think we should all demand that Boston Terriers retrieve our returned videos. That's the only way we're going to effect change, by voting with our mouths. Instead of our index fingers, I guess. I kind of lost the thread here.

I might suggest that to our library where books land all over the place beyond the After Hours slot. Suffice it to say [don't you hate...]the dogs would need to be computer litterate.
Wally, you are a Mildly Annoying© God. I fall at your feet in worship.
The Bossie (that's short for Boston Terrier, isn't it? although I know realize that this parenthetical aside has more than negated the benefits of shortening the name) probably ate that copy of Extras. I know this because it was delicious.
Was the guy in the top left of the drawing urinating in the drop slot? His posture suggests that he was.
Oh, I am so relieved. I thought from the title that you'd decided to jump into the healthcare reform fray. But I'm still a little concerned that a little Boston terrier in Atlanta may have a bone to pick with you next time you're there.
That little Boston Terrier looks too willing to please to want to pick a bone with anyone though, it'll also be the spitting image of it's owner as dogs usually are. Guessing hazardly (I like to live dangerously).
