I broke down and ordered a DSL modem from AT&T, after being unsuccessful in my efforts to secure one on the free market.

It can’t get here soon enough because I’m on a 30-minute time limit on the computers at Melrose Place.

Here’s an excerpt from another conversation with Anonymous Buddy.

BENNY
You get naked today?

ANONYMOUS BUDDY
Yep.

BENNY
Geez…you are sick.

ANONYMOUS BUDDY
(laughs)

I read an article on STLtoday about the new casino wanting to rename a stretch of road in South County to “River City Casino Boulevard”.

I mentioned this to Mr. O, and told him I thought it was bad idea.”The casino is trying to buy their approval for $500,” I explained.

“What’s the big deal?” he asked.

“People have been living on those streets for decades. They raised their families there. And you think it’s okay to change the name to advertise a casino?”

“It’s just a street name.”

“Do you think $500 is a fair price?”

“I’d do it for a $50 casino chip.”

“What if you lived on a street, and some company wanted to change the name to Shit Turd Avenue?”

“Make it a hundred.”

Burning down love.
