Fight!

I saw a fight between two fifty-somethings at Costco yesterday. One of them was leaving the produce freezer while the other was trying to get in, and neither would budge. They stared each other down and argued for a little bit and then the guy going in pushed the other guy's shopping cart and started to walk away. The guy leaving put on a really annoyed look and it seemed like he was just going to move on, but then the rage boiled in his face and he slammed his shopping cart into the other guy's back. The guy going in whipped around and pushed him. Then the guy leaving pushed back. Then the guy going in slapped the guy leaving's arm. Then I yelled "Fight!" and everybody in the store ran over to the produce freezer and surrounded the two in a big circle -- just kidding. Instead, a Costco guy came over and asked what was going on. The two pleaded their cases and the Costco guy was like "whatever" and the valiant warriors went on their way. It was awesome. As Richard Hawkins can attest, you see amazing things when you hang out at the produce freezer in the Marina Del Rey Costco.
And in other disturbing news, I learned today that Lorein knows the names and can identify all the kids on "Jon & Kate Plus 8". Let's get that girl back to work!

Sounds like a Torts final.

Costco is battle! The parking lot is urban welfare. Dad never gets the world I live in -- some nice action there Christopher. You should have handed them your card.

Betsey also knows the names of those kids. She can even tell the identical ones apart. Crazy. This is why she and Lorein are such good friends--they are TLC addicts.
