Overheard

There were these two big, burly men standing across the aisle from me. One of them was wearing one of those big brown, down jackets, and the other, a black leather coat. Both had flannel shirts on underneath their coats. If they weren't wearing steel-toed workboots, they were in my imagination.

Guy One: "I don't know. I mean, either one I get, I know the other one will have been the better choice."

I was standing in line, waiting to purchase an overpriced electronic gift for an undeserving giftee, when I saw this exhange. The men were blocking my view of the "Staff Selections" DVDs, so I assumed that's what was under discussion. It was logical, right? Two probable construction workers, macho man's men, deciding between STAR WARS flicks, right? It made perfect sense.

They turned to leave, offering me a perfect view of the source of the concern: seasons one and two of the brilliant episodic drama, LAGUNA BEACH.
