italisizy: Oh, and Dale's a 49'ers fan.

Sir Turley: boo

italisizy: Agreed.

Sir Turley: lame

italisizy: And then he had the stones to goad me about being a Pats fan.

Sir Turley: yeah, that means he was a bandwagoner starting in the early 80;s

italisizy: Yep.
Although, I did get to deliver a sentence today that I never thought I would say.
"I'm not so bigoted as to say that Dale should stop watching football because he's a 49'ers fan. Better to watch football and root for the wrong team than to not like football."
If he was a Denver fan, that conversation would've gone much differently.

Sir Turley: like "fuck you and your mother"

italisizy: Exactly.
"Why would you say something as horrible as that? You like the Broncos? Do you think that's funny? Is that some kind of sick joke?"
SO!
Funny story.
So I'm in Baby Gap--sorry, The Baby Gap--waiting for Kathleen to go on her lunch break.
And she's helping this black woman do a return.
And so she does that and then she helps another customer and then she comes over to talk to me.
So we talk for a minute, and then there's a pause, and then the black woman, who's in Gap Kids--I'm sorry, The Gap Kids--says something to her mother, who's shopping with her, and Kathleen takes this opportunity to say this and only this, while gesturing with her head that she's talking about this woman:
"They steal."
"All the time."
And, for a minute, I was torn in trying to figure out if Kathleen was either a) making a hilariously racist joke or b) being hilariously racist.
And then I figured out that she meant that those two women specifically steal all the time.
And then it was a little less funny.
But that minute where I had only A and B to choose from was a long, strange, funny minute.
Because how hilarious would that be if Kathleen turned out to be a bigot?
