Public Discomfort: In-d-pen-dant

Look who I found riding on PATCO this week, Betsy Ross! The bitch was late to work. That flag ain't gonna sew itself. Who knew she was so ahead of her time: duffel bag, long johns under her gown, bobby pins, and orthopedic shoes! Glad to see Philly is keeping it real.

Public Discomfort: It was wet and wild.

In the hospital waiting room - "he's taking waaaaaaay to many enimas. way too many. oh lord. and laxatives too, honey"

Public (Dis)Comfort: Have a Cigar

I saw an almost entire cigar in a ashtray outside the Kimmel Center. It's like a jackpot to a homeless man. I only wish I could've seen some dude find it. He would've been so happy.

Public Discomfort: A former Solid Gold Dancer

Unfortunately, the gold Lamé jacket clashes with the white sweat socks. However, that black Beret really does bring the entire ensemble together.

Public Discomfort: Vampires, Per se

at barnes & nobles in deptford, nj:
tween gf to tween bf: we neeeeeeeeed to see new moooooon!
tween bf: noooooo, we don't.
tween gf walks away in a huff.

Public Discomfort: Kate had to get a real job.

Well lookie here! It's Kate Gosslin on the Broad Street Line.....

Oh, wait. Nevermind, it's just an idiot with her hair cut.

Public Discomfort: Not, your baby. Your baby is aight.

On PATCO @ Lindenwold station:

Preggo Chick: Oh I am having a girl, but you know, I just hope she is healthy."

Man (who I took to be a lost family member): "This fucker better move soon, I'm already late. Where youse heading?

Preggo Chick: "I know right. I'm late too. Heading up to North Philly to get my Methadone."

Public (Dis)comfort: I. Want. One. Now!

The doormen at Tiffany (which is so conveniently located to my office...right next door!!) are wearing Tiffany Blue 'Tiffany & Co' cashmere scarves. I think I need a Tiffany Blue 'Tiffany & Co.' cashmere scarf.

Christmas, you're not too late. Perhaps the Capt can hook a girl up.

Wait! According to the site, Christmas you were too late! HUMBUG.

Public Discomfort: Give that guy a raise! NOW!

SEPTA was on strike last wk & everyone bitched abt it. this a.m. there was a pile of human poo in the stairwell & 2nite it's gone. a SEPTA dude had 2 clean it. I don't blame that dude 4 striking. i mean he had 2 (somehow) pick that shit up. that man deserves all the $ he is asking 4. what a crappy job...pun so intended.

Public Discomfort: I don't trust a man in a cape.

at starbux in the bellevue and there is a man in a cape. and not a "i'm wearing my halloween costume" cape. its a cape cape.

I know with Public Discomforts I usually leave as the original text, however, I feel this topic requires more discussion.

Who in their right minds thinks a man cape, WITH A HOOD, is a good idea. I mean come on. The dude not only looked incredibly ridiculous, but my God did he have an air of pretentiousness. Just based on looks I deduced that this idiot was a UArts student (almost makes me embarrassed to be a UArts Alum), possibly photography major. Although a theater major would be the obvious choice, he didn't have the annoying personality to be a theater major.

Anyway, here's a picture. I tried to take it incognito but the SOB kept moving. How dare he!

Check out that wing span!

He reminded me of the losers from that King of the Hill episode, "The Witches of East Arlen," where Bobby Hill discovers tarot cards. You know, the one where the main dude in the coven always says "resplendent"

And FYI to any man (regardless of age) reading this that owns a cape:

1) you look FUCKING ridiculous.
2) it never was a good idea
3) no one thinks you look good

A little Seinfeld tie-in:

From The Chinese Woman
Season 6; Episode 4

George: I don't trust men in capes.

Jerry: You can't cast aspersions on someone just because they're wearing a cape. Superman wore a cape, and I'll be damned if I'm going to stand here and let you say something bad about him.

George: Alright, Superman's the exception.

Public Discomfort: Why am I carrying a jump rope with me?

lost my gym card in my purse. realized one important thing today. i carry faaar too much shit on a daily basis. one positive today: found my most favorite hat!

Public Discomfort: The Poo Vault

the best part of riding SEPTA? we'll its leaping ovr piles of human poo @ the bottom of the stairs. if this were the olympics id have gotten a 10!

i would've taken a pic of said poo but thought ur mental picture is disgusting enough.

Public Discomfort: Maybe he's just bigged boned.

toothless phillies fan at the far end of the subway car to someone at the other end: "hey yo steve ya fat bastard. WTF dude u keep getting fatter and fatter."

Public Discomfort: What am I hard of Smelling?

i cant wait for jacket weather to kick in. this way there is a barrier between me and the rancid BO on the packed subway.

Public Discomfort: In a big country things stay with you

moe. version of Big Country playing @ DUI Friday's. i thought the only place i'd ever hear this would be coming from Prof. Funkchops' iTunes. love it!

Sorry for the crappy version, it's the only thing available. Although some of the visuals are quite interesting.

Public Discomforts - I Only Have 8!

Public Discomfort - I can hear your hearing aide from over here Mister

Public Discomfort - Apparently the No Shoes Rule No Longer Applies
