Dear So and So

[tangentgirl]

Dear Male Friend of My Sister,

A stripper for my sister's birthday?! Really... that's going to make all the guys at the party uncomfortable. My family can be tacky and uncouth all on their own. They don't need the addition of a stripper. I'm sure there will be lots of raunchy comments without the stripper. Please weather gods make it super humid so I can spend all day in the water.

Dear Male Friend of Veronica's Sister: Just take her to see Magic Mike. Apparently it's the Citizen Kane of stripper movies. (Does that mean the pole's name is Rosebud?) Done and done!

Dear LBS: Thanks for the amazing discount on tuneups, and thanks for being so nice. I know you are a small chain, so bigger than some of the other LBS's and able to give better discounts, but the niceness is free for everyone. So rock on, my friends, I'll be back. Well, duh, because I have to pick up the bikes, but you know what I mean.
