Note to the college student who was doing his nervous best to pick me up in the bookstore earlier tonight: while yes it was sort of amusing that you're so excited that an actual female is perusing the manga section that you attempt to pick her up despite her monosyllabic answers, it is best to be heeding this advice: when you're trying to chat up a girl, please to not be digging your pants out of your ass with your other hand.

I am reminded of when I went "Fullmetal Alchemist"-DVD-shopping with a pretty girl friend a few weeks ago: the cashier guy trying to chat her up over mutual FMA love stuttered to a horrified stop when we called the series 'cute'. Because violence + blood + angst + shonen = automatic negation of all cute vibes, you see.

And this is sort of on-topic in the general clueless-geekboy-category:

Dear Clueless Geekboy Skulking About the Manga Section in Hastings,
I'm sure you're thrilled that I noticed you because of your enormous and dramatic floor-length black fuzzy felt duster. However, it is June in West Texas and 96 degrees in the shade. You are not impressing anybody. And Morpheus called to say he hates you.
Sincerely,
Kawcrow
P.S. Fuzzy black felt?!

When I went on a cruise to Mexico there was a Goth girl wearing armwarmers. No one needs armwarmers in 80 degree weather, yo.
