Well hello there, you naughty little vixen. I got 8 hours of sleep for the second night in a row...still no difference. No additional pep in my step, gas in my tank, or bun in my oven. I actually feel a little more tired, which is sort of disappointing. Moving along...On the way to work today I heard this conversation:

Worker Guy #1: What are you doing for the Fourth?
Worker Guy #2: barbecue.
Worker Guy #1: Oh yeah? Sounds good.
Worker Guy #2: Yeah, we're doing it up.
Worker Guy #1: Burgers and dogs?
Worker Guy #2: Yeah.
Worker Guy #1: Chicken?
Worker Guy #2: Yup.
Worker Guy #1: What about ribs?
Worker Guy #2: Oh yeah.
Worker Guy #1: All the fixin's, too?
Worker Guy #2: Of course.

Worker Guy #1 went on to ask about every item that is typically present at a BBQ. They went on like this for so long that I don't even have the patience or memory to recount the rest of it. One might imagine that a conversation around the holidays with these guys might go something like this.

Worker Guy #1: Tree?
Worker Guy #2: Yep.
Worker Guy #1: Egg nogg?
Worker Guy #2: Uh huh.
Worker Guy #1: Nativity scene?
Worker Guy #2: You bet.

While amusing, the BBQ discussion was a bit too long to be considered for "Best Small Talk Moment", where the current title holder is this exchange witnessed by Irf and Andy Bean in the liquor store:

Male Patron: (Looking at TV behind counter)What channel is this?
Female Clerk: Channel Seven. Game Show Bloopers.

Short, eloquent, utterly ridiculous. I think it's really the extraneous programming information given by the clerk that makes this a classic. I feel that the printed version might not do it justice.

By the way, Steve...get your lab on this, pronto.
