There I was, minding my own business on the Loser Cruiser this morning when who should appear out of the blue, board the bus after Soon-to-be-Mid-Life-Crisis Girl, and seat himself down right in front of me and next to Daddy Sutherland (the state representative who bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Donald Sutherland himself)? EBERT!!!! I almost didn’t recognize the fellow; evidently, he’s been working out. Let’s just say, now he looks more like Siskel than Siskel does. It was all I could do not to pee myself at the sight of Ebert and Daddy Sutherland sitting next to each other. There hasn’t been such a meeting of middle-aged minds since Walter Cronkite got on the wrong bus heading south out of Knoxville and sat down next to The Brady Bunch’s Robert Reed! I was beside myself with joy and excitement! I only wished I had a decent camera with me.
One other moment worth mentioning: the sighting of Kind-of-Cute-in-a-Manly-Way Red Hat Guy (not to be confused with Cute Red Hat Girl). This guy has become a regular as of late and didn’t wear a red hat until Cute Red Hat Girl was first spotted. Coincidence? Hardly!
