In other Visions news, today I was trying to deal with a crazy rush and a "hipped-out" looking girl walks up and asks if she can use the phone. I directed her to the payphone. She says she needs to call 911. I directed her to the payphone. "No, you have to pay, can I use your phone?" I tell her it can't reach, what's the emergency. She says she saw a dog roaming around loose. I direct her to the payphone. She says it had tags, it must belong to someone. I direct her to the payphone. She says, no you have to pay to use it. I tell her its free for 911. She screams at me that "animals have rights, too, and just because it's an anaimal doesn't mean it's not an emergency."
911 calls are free, but if it's such an emergency, why couldn't she spare 35 cents?

God people are idiots. Reading about that girl made me mad, cause I deal with stupid people like that all the time.

I accidentally interpretted this to mean you were struggling with the crazy guy who wanted to throw people off the balcony, so I thought this whole conversation was going on while you were wrestling someone to the floor. it made it more amusing to imagine someone would be angry that you didn't care enough about stray dogs to STOP wrestling the crazy man and go and get her a PHONE!
heheh
but then I realized you meant lots of customers were there.
angele said at 2:00 AM 12-08-2001: Were you there when the man was trying to throw people off the balcony? I was. He sure freaked all the movie-goers out when he called to the audience, "Please God, help me put this condom on my penis!" Then he wrestled the bartender to the floor and punched him in the eye. Dude didn't even flinch when he was maced in the face.
talysman [ url ] said at 3:27 PM 12-08-2001: nope, I wasn't there, seeing as it happened on another coast and all.
however, we have crazy people here, too. this one time, I went to see the director's cut of bladerunner... some guy got a little too worked up about the people being killed onscreen. fortunately, he quieted up after a talk with the cops, but after the movie, he kept screaming "I hate cops! I wish I had an AK-47 right now!" and "did you see the way he shot that one woman! BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!"

talysman [ url ] said at 3:31 PM 12-08-2001: well, it varies, based on which company is ripping^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcharging for using the phone.
35 cents seems to be the rule, although you can occasionally find quarter pay phones.
it's too bad it's not ten cents a call still, 'cause then when someone asked for a dime to call a friend, you could say "here's two dimes, call all of them."

talysman [ url ] said at 4:00 AM 12-09-2001: gee "prentiss riddle", if that is your real name, not only did you post this on your website and on killoggs, but apparently you've posted it everywhere else, too. I even found it right smack dab in the middle of ARK, when we were trying to have a serious discussion about dating vegan chyxxxors and whether or not a charlie brown cartoon about a girl dying of leukemia is really funny.
anyways, the answer to your question is: all those white people look alike.
