As a fellow Queens native, I really want the Kal Penn show to be good, but I also fear what it’ll devolve into.  I also would love it if it were filmed here in Queens.

Queen Arya & Princess Regent Sansa smile ruefully at one another as they view how poorly their names were spelled by the Barista.... fade to black.

Perhaps a final one?

Just so creepy, right?  Hope he got the message and doesn’t try again.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

I thought so too, about the ‘come’/‘cum’ thing.  And about the creep thing too.

Yep.  I’ve let a few folks know, just in case things go there.

When I was in my 20s, I’d do the same (except I was the bartender and there were two customers I’d hook up with from time to time (separately)). I’d never have written ‘cum’ in any messages to them.

I’m nearly 50; I thought I was beyond this shit.

I thought so as well. Glad I’m not alone in that.

If he’d gone with “Hey - wanna grab a coffee?”, I wouldn’t be so squicked. I wouldn’t have answered any differently, but I wouldn’t have felt so skeeved.

I seriously thought about how to reply for a full three days. I didn’t want to use “please” or “thank you” (though I can’t quite express why). I did consider…

I have no advice for you, I’m sorry. I just want you to know that across the country in NY, you’ve got someone praying for/thinking of you & Mr. OprahAngelou.

Office. If it were personal, I’d’ve been more concerned.

Office email. If it were my personal email, I’d be more worried.

((((DerbyDuck42))) & all good thoughts going out your way. Take care of yourself please.

Thanks.

Yep! Yep! Yep! On all points. Add Alabama to that list.
