Pennybrain and a few others are so goofy it's not worth the time
typing much. We talked to the friends Saturday morning and they had a
few errands and packing to finish up before they went out of town. So
Louise said: "hey guys! we've got these gift cards,,,,,wanna meet at
OG for an early dinner so you don't have to cook tonight before you
leave?" They said: "sure what a nice idea"

So now I'm cheap, have a drinking problem, and have taste in ass
disease. Bunch of assholes.
