Oh, I've been wanting to post a story I told people at work a couple days ago for a couple days now, because it totally cracks me up.

Anyway, apparently Garry Moore, a newscaster from the TV station I used to work at, stopped by the store not that long ago. I was talking to a coworker that I don't really have a fancy nickname for, and he brought it up.

Coworker: Yeah, Garry Moore stopped into the store, and this one lady thought we were related or something because we were having an animated conversation.
Me: Garry Moore from WEEK?
Coworker: Yeah.
Me: I worked with him! Well... I sat at his desk all the time and read online comics. We worked different shifts. I also would stare at the pictures on his desk. One of them was really gay. He was like, hugging this dude and they were both wearing tuxedos and it was a studio portrait so it wasn't like, an impulsive hug, it's a posed hug. Also he has this photo of him in african tribal dress doing a splits in mid-air.
Coworker: Phoe, you crack me up.

Anyway, it was a funnier story in real life, probably. But man, I just can't get over how gay that picture was, and I wanted to share a description of it with you all. And let you know: I had a LOT of time on my hands at that job, so I spent a lot of time at that guy's desk looking at his pictures and back archives of Sluggy Freelance.
