FEED NOT UPDATED NEARLY AS OFTEN AS THE SITE:
º º º REPORTING FROM A STARBUCKS NEAR AN OFFICE BUILDING Yesterday: very clean cut, French blue, button up, square glasses, late-thirties manager guy has a little off-site coffee chat with a totally hot young woman who is maybe twenty-two years old and apparently working in the same office. "You have to be careful. You just...you have to be careful. You could start typing and your true feelings can come out. People think email is anonymous." It was sad and cute how he said it with such a strained sense of confiding in her. Such a 'you and I have a really close relationship...sure we work together, sure I'm your boss, but...we're friends' kind of way.

HUGE, BURSTING OPEN MAIL BAG FILLED WITH MANY LETTERS AND THE LARGE STAFF'S RESPONSES TO EACH LETTER: A SURE SIGN OF MASSIVE POPULARITY.
From: kbosch Attn. Really Small Talkies, Your all encompasing fun loving online journal has found it's way into my bad books as of recent. In relation specifically to your RST merchandise. I was hoping to purchase one of your fine rst baseball tee's--as they seem to be quite the rage these days-- for my friend Victor. However upon visiting the shopping area I was disgusted by the $3 extra charge on the 2x-large shirt. I ask you, should Victor be punished because he is a slightly glandular man? He's also a japanese homo-sexual, would you like to tack and extra dollar on for that too? Now what am i supposed to do? Say, "Victor, I'm sorry, no tee-shirt for you dear, only the slender get to be cool"? FOR SHAME Really Small Talk! For shame. From: ReallySmallTalk [merch] <merch@reallysmalltalk.com> Dear Consumer-- The charge has nothing to do with the double-extra size of the garment. It is, in fact, actually a three-dollar 'Japanese homo-sexual' charge, and we agree with you that it is not right. It is out of our hands. It's on the fulfillment house's end, and we're as peeved as you, mostly because one of our best friends is gay and Japanese. Plus, we have several friends and loved ones who wear the 2x large size. They are big people. They have big feelings. Your fearless editor in chief, frankly, is currently working on sporting a 3x large himself, and will have nothing to point to in the way of genetic fate having played a part beyond his control. You ask, "Now what am i supposed to do?" Say, "Victor, I'm sorry, no tee-shirt for you dear, only the slender get to be cool?" Firstly, no. You're not. The consensus here is that this would not be the way a friend should handle this. Obviously, you should pony up the three bucks, BUT, having said that, and having admitted we think the charge is bullshit and isn't even money on OUR pocket, we would like to make Kim Bosch, longtime RST regular and contributor, and now kind friend of Victor, this offer: When we receive an order confirmation for a 2x large RST Jersey from you in our weekly sales report, we will kindly send you at least twice the amount of the JH charge worth of interesting reading materials, as well as a limited edition ReallySmallTalk button to put on your guitar strap or backpack. Place your order with confidence, then send along your address. Thanks for your support-- Dan Kennedy
THAT'S THE END OF THE HUGE, BURTSING OPEN MAIL BAG FILLED WITH MANY LETTERS, OKAY SO NOT SO MANY LETTERS, AND NOT MUCH MASSIVE POPULARITY

TRICK OR TREATERS THAT SHOWED UP HERE ON THE 20th FLOOR BEFORE 7:30 PM Indifferent Bumble Bee who needed a nap. Amazed and entranced Ballerina who tried to walk inside by almost sneaking through Mia Skaili's legs. Shy polite Medieval Princess. Very busy, hyper Darth Vader with mask askance. Tiny Elephant who started laughing and also tried to get inside. Two girls who seemed 13 going on 30. One a kind of Marilyn Manson character and the other a..student? Anyway, went something like this after opening the door: "Trick or treat." (Absolutely no exclamation point) "Oh...okay. Cool purse." "Thanks. Bye. "
