Overheard at the bar tonight
So I stopped at Em-R-Wings tonight to pick up some BBQ wings, and I overheard two amusing things. I may have to paraphrase cuz it was a couple hours ago. I was standing at the bar waiting for them to finish my carryout order...
First, the folks at the bar are discussing the band Journey. One of them said that he liked Journey with their original singer. Makes sense to me... then he says "But then Steve Perry came along."
What? Damn, I didn't even know Journey had an original lead singer BEFORE Steve Perry. I thought Steve Perry *WAS* the original singer, but anyway apparently I was wrong. How about that.
Second, I hear them talking about Christmas and religion, and one of them says, talking about something but I'm not sure what ... "And they made it all religious" and another one says "Well, you gotta expect all that religious crap at Christmas time."
Hah. Admittedly, the Christians did kinda take over Christmas from the pagans but still, I thought it was kinda funny. Christmas *IS* a religious holiday and really only became the retail giant that it is maybe in the last 50 years.
