Amuse-bouche bloglets

An amuse-bouche, for those of you who don't do the French, is a small bite of something tasty to tide you over until a real meal happens. Which also tends to happen when you work the hustle routinely; things that aren't a full story, but worthy of note on their own. Including, but not limited to... 

> There is no weather that will force Certain Women who attend Greek college events to wear a protective layer of clothing. On some level, you have to admire the commitment.

> There is also no weather that will keep Angry Old White Drunks from fighting in the streets of Trenton. I can only assume it had something to do with a halftime show being mostly in Spanish.

> A recant fare chose to purchase a ride for a guest, who they then gave the name of (g-word) (n-word), only without my web subtlety. The fare canceled the ride, which gave me the easiest $3.90 of the day, and presumably made the purchaser have to do it again. I'm not here to shame anyone for how they choose to spend their money, but, um...

> I picked up a Fredo, who did not (gravitas on) BREAK MY HEART. (If you don't get the reference, either I am too old, or you are too young, and maybe both.)

> I recently picked up a local college football player who was discussing his post-school options, most of which involved "the three-letter agencies."

Whenever I drive past these places, my mind starts to imagine 

a) the rest of the Super Pollo Cinematic Universe, possibly with side order sidekicks

b) a Tupac-Bigge style rap battle between Super Pollo 1 and Super Pollo 2

c) having lucha libre wrestlers fight each other in Super Pollo 1 and Super Pollo 2 costumes, preferably on the sidewalk outside the restaurant

d) how, if I had All The Moneys In The World, all of this work would exist, and 

e) how it is probably for the best that I do not have All The Moneys In the World.

> Marketing slogan for a beer in the hood: "It Ain't Gonna Drink Itself." Well, the truth is important...

> Recent email from Uber: "Let's stop human trafficking, together". Which my suspicious mind read as a tacit admission that Uber's been up to some things, and is making a very big presumption on me...
