daniel dulaney asks the following about this post…

daniel, i thought no one would E-VER ask. you have inspired the very first ever…. foolishnotions video.

here we go…

jen mcgee: i went to the grocery store last night and saw like three people i knew. they were all doing the same thing as me - - buying food that they didn’t have.

valerie: i have a tatoo.

me: what is it?

valerie: well, now it’s a cross.

me: what was it?

valerie: a kangaroo.

me: trying to visualize… [ -- ?!? ?!? -- ]

this is matt (a.k.a. smatty or hazmat). he is our resident bass player at the rock and star of flipside’s kick me short feature films. he gets the prize for the best lunch room story of the day.

matt: “the other night i put a dollar in my pocket and went home. i took my pants off and set them to the side. and when i got up in the morning, i put those same pants on again, and i looked in the pocket and there was a dollar bill in there.”

(longer than short silent pause)

me: “is that it?”

matt: “yeah, that’s it.”

the best part… he was sincerely sharing an experience that had made his day. we laughed until we cried at lunch today. i love lunch. i love these people.
