haircut

I'm currently in Bowling Green Ohio.

I've traveled back in time to the 1950s... maybe the 40's (I just did Lost Film Fest last night for the student dems at BGSU)

So this morning, I'm minding my own business at a coffee shop, nursing a double soy latte, an older man, walked up. He looked at my laptop, and then at me, back and forth, sizing me up. Looking up, I invited him over to chit chat.

Our conversation went like this:

old man: "I can loan you my comb if you want."

beibin: "I kind of like the 'unmade bed' look, thanks".

old man: "You know, there's a recruiting office down the street. They'll give you a good haircut, and teach you how to make a bed. They'll teach you some discipline".

beibin: "Thank you for the tip."

old man: "Which high school are you attending?"

beibin: "I actually graduated recently...maybe 2 decades ago"


Sigh.. middle america


My friend Taran is thinking about developing some kind of comedy television show, and asked me I would participate if I were involved, soI've been contemplating about the kinds of things I would do if I was on the show. While brainstorming, the idea of playing games with military recruiters to see what I could coax from them came up. So I'm thinking about getting a hidden 'tie cam', and hidden microphone to hear what kind of stuff said recruiters would give me to have me sign up. I would tell them about my outlandish desires, and see how they would try to fulfill these desires to get me to sign up... Would they bring me to Theme Parks? restaurants? Bring me shopping for vegan food?

....the gears are turning.
