shame is so in this season

tricks are for kids

(i know i shouldn't be talking about alcohol. so i will abstain and madlibs my way through this post.)

the judes told me that she met a guy at a coffeehouse who was able to take off a girl's earrings with his teeth and then put the earring back together in his mouth. i thought that was such an oddly cool (and somewhat unsanitary) coffeehouse trick. and then i thought of what i would want to do as my signature coffeehouse trick. i don't smoke so i can't do anything with a lighter and cherry stem tying was so 1996. then i remembered - maura tierney's character on news radio was really good at math and she could do things like instantly compute the square root of 4793. i thought that would be totally cool if i could actually do it (i can't) but then i had second thoughts about it - i'm asian and my coffeehouse trick is doing math really well. yeah that's not so much a trick as it is promoting cultural stereotypes. oh well, back to the drawing board.
