CHRISTMAS EVE BRUNCH IN THE CASTRO...

B & I were enjoying a delicious Christmas Eve brunch. We were discussing a few last minute shopping plans for the day and the evening's festivities which included dinner with friends, a late night performance by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus at the historic Castro Theatre and Christmas with fab and beautiful Ing! We were filled with excitement and it was, at one point, rather romantic. It was crowded. There were two older gentlemen sitting next to us.

B had to excuse himself for a minute. It was at this point that I heard the following exchange between our table mates. Please note that the following exchange was performed at a rather loud range. I was not trying to listen in -- it was unavoidable to not hear it. And, this is what I heard:

"All I am saying is that I wish you could have just put the sling up before we got started last night!"

"Well, I am sorry! I guess I thought the chains were enough!"

...and, I thought, "Only in the Castro of San Francisco would hear this exchange over waffles, syrup and mimosas. Gotta love and embrace it!

Happy Holidays! ...And, remember -- sometimes chains are not enough when you want to fist the very best. Uh, I mean, "give" the very best! Toodles from GayTown!

What's a sling? Did one of them have broken arm? Poor thing! Were the chains for their tires? Because I don't think it snows here. I'm confused, Matty!

Sorted Lives! You're more than welcome! LOL! I keep thinking I am jaded but then every once in a while something happens that takes me by surprise and gives me a big laugh. This was one of those moments!

Ing -- Honey, I was confused as well. Best not to worry about it. If that snow comes to San Francisco just suck it up and take public transit to avoid those chains!

I thought people who had slings always left them up. Shows you what I know...

Kalvin -- Yeah, I know. However, I guess that even the most accomplished fisters need to put away the sling when the parentals come by. I guess. Of course, this is San Francisco. Still, I was a bit surprised at the candor of the argument over brunch. Most amusing! LOL!
