Civil War Forever

You’re aware that I can go pretty much anywhere and find things to amuse myself with.

At times, this includes actual amusing things, and that’s like an exciting thing to have happen.

It’s usually at Borders, where I pretend to write and instead mess around on various hot and exclusive instant messaging platforms of some note.

Brian: This dude in Borders is laughing at something on his laptop and this woman reading “Civil War Times” is looking at him dismissively lolol

Girl: Omg lol

Brian: It’s not like there’s hot new civil war news lolol
Brian: The South – Fighting Mad! (And what it means for you!) pg 25

Girl: Unsure which side you are on? Take our quiz on page 46!

Brian: General Lee – He’s Just Like Us!

Girl: Is she wearing arm warmers
Girl: Like leg warmers but for your arms

Brian: Nah it’s a pink sweater with some kind of sweater vest
Brian: I want to start a magazine about people who read that magazine
Brian: Like we could profile her

Girl: Dude you should just start a magazine about people in borders
Girl: And sell is exclusively at borders and like people who read it and find that they are featured in it can bring it up to the counter and prove it’s them and they get like a prize or something

Brian: Lol
Brian: You know I am putting this on my blog thx

Girl: I hate when you do this trick ttyl

Once the lady left I went and picked up the magazine – there was only one copy on the shelves.

Perhaps the most interesting thing was a sizable “Note From the Editor” right at the front that warned readers there was a scam going around wherein people would call them and warn that their subscriptions were up, and that they needed their credit card numbers right away.

Says something about their target demo, which is primarily premature and naive historical enthusiasts. Not sure how you measure that.

In the back of the mag was a political cartoon that I’d guess 14 people on Earth would understand – luckily I was one, and I laughed so hard, and then I had something to bond with the laptop guy about.

FULL CIRCLE MONDAY IS WHERE I’M COMING FROM.

While you wait for Lost to start tonight, here’s the conclusion to WSM? – my Rocky Balboa moment to be sure.
