Mrs Dr GB:
I see a business opportunity there. "Bu's coffee shop". Alcoholics could go there and say to their spouses, "What?! I can't have a coffee on the way to work?"

Hes a trip man. Hes obsessed with maps too. And he doesn't stop talking ever. Hes really smart.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:20:47 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Ugh, maps. I can't see them. When Cushca and I go driving, it's quite an adventure.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:21:26 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Map dyslexia.

That's just women in general. Don't feel bad.

Chewing Wax:
Mmmm. Bombay Saphire.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:23:00 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Mais non. Cushca is an expert map reader.

Chewing Wax:
My gin and vodka come from England. I love that place. I think I belong there.

Mrs Dr GB:
I can't drink anything except wine any more. A pole dancing incident on the London underground.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:23:47 pm)
bela:
He has books and books of old maps. Old maps of Boston, of China - he goes to the statehouse and looks up old train maps. Hes obsessed with commuting and trains. He harrasses the hell out of the commissoners of the T and whatnot. He walks around town in his Pilgirm hat , people don't know what to make of him.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:24:08 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Can I meet him?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:24:25 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
You know who the richest cartographers must be? Russian ones. Always bloody changing the boundaries. You can imagine them rubbing their cartographic hands in glee.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:25:20 pm)
bela:
He really is from another century. His apartment is amazing.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:25:37 pm)
bela:
I've travelled with him. The best fun.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:26:21 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
What did you steal?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:26:47 pm)
Chewing Wax:
This guy is my hero
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:27:20 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
I modelled my life on the drummer from the Pretenders.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:28:57 pm)
bela:
I didn't steal anything. He stole alot of stuff. We went to Hungary, Venice and Amsterdam. Hes trying to live in Amsterdam. I bought him an old soapdish that has an old scene of Dachau. He loved it. He bought me a few things, I can't remember what.

bela:
We went to see La Boheme at the Opera House in Hungary and some of these little kids were wearing those collarless jackets with the pockets - just like one he wears all of the time, and Bu pointed at this little kid and said "Stealing my act" really funny.

Chewing Wax:
I need some travelling really bad. Just New York City and LA for me. That's so boring.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:31:34 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Pilgrim hats too?
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:32:02 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
It's all relative. Could be Scunthorpe and Grimsby.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:32:48 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I think I'd prefer them
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:34:25 pm)
bela:
Yeah. He has this big weird black hat. He hates the sun and heat. He keeps track of his accounts in these big black dusty books with the silk trim. He wears cravats and all of that. Hes such a character, I've never met anyone like him. I feel bad for him sometimes, I think its hard for him sometimes being such a big eccentric weirdo. Its not contrived at all, hes just in the wrong century.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:35:02 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
I like the sound of him.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:37:09 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
And I don't mean that in a lascivious way.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:37:19 pm)
bela:
He lived in China and Japan for a long time and he told me that one of his students said "Bu, you have the vampire style - or something like that. He said his students loved him because he would have them write about their favorite rock stars and he would give lectures on different types of shoes in America, he'd have drawings that he did.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:37:20 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Different types of shoes? Magnificent!
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:38:46 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
But anyway: time to go. Good evening everyone. It's been scintillating.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:39:07 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I can't compete with a guy like that
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:39:18 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Night bird
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:39:38 pm)
Chewing Wax:
How about this? It's made of horse hide so you don't have to worry about the cows.
(Thu Jul 12, 2001 - 4:54:07 pm)
Chewing Wax:
$675. That's really expensive.
