Excerpted from Kate’s blog:
…then we took the bus back to union square. jeff got stuck sitting next to some guy named tim. this was their conversation:
tim: yeah i used to weigh about 274 lbs. i’m about 204 lbs. now. you know i work out everyday. once you start working out you know, you just got to keep going, its hard to stop.
jeff: yeah uhh huh know what you mean yeah man.
tim: i took a dianetics iq test and i scored like 128, thats like the highest i’ve scored since high school. yeah they told me that poor guys don’t usually score that high but i’ve always been smart you know. like in high school i used to get really high grades. my stop is almost here i’m getting off at 6th street. i live there.
jeff: yeah uhh huh know what you mean yeah man.
tim: ohh by the way my name’s tim.
jeff: nice to meet you–(i’m) jeff.
tim: (practicallly cuts jeff off, sees a button labeled “pink” on jeff’s bag, mistakes it for “pink” the pop star) ohh i just love pink. man she’s hot. i love her music you know. mizundastood. yeah she’s great. i’d jack off to her if she had nude pictures but she doesn’t.
jeff: ohh for reals. uhh yeah she’s hot. yeah.
tim: babble babble blah blah blah “well this is my stop, nice talking to you man, you take care now”
and tim gets off in the tenderloin…. end of story.
