Decoy:
Ha, that was funny. My boss just came in to my office and said something to me. I had to fumble for the volume controls to turn down the music and I finally say, "I'm sorry, what was that?" He says, "You can go home early ."

The Char-Dog

Given the popularity of the hot dog as backyard grilling fare, it is surprising how few commercial doggeries cook their franks over hot coals. But in western New York State, a hot-dog stronghold, many outlets offer charcoal-grilled dogs. The outstanding doggery in the region is Ted's Jumbo Red Hots in Tonawanda, a town just outside Buffalo. The grill men poke, pierce and cut the franks as they cook, allowing the charcoal's smoky essence to penetrate deep into the meat. The result is a hot dog that smells and tastes like a cookout. And for dessert, there is an Anderson's custard stand just down the road.

Decoy:
Is that what you had for lunch?
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:29:29 pm)

Chewing Wax:
God no. I had a cup of cherries.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:29:54 pm)

Decoy:
So, I'm ooout at 2.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:29:59 pm)

Decoy:
I cup of cherries? That's chick food, man.

Chewing Wax:
I was just reading that article in the NY Times and whenever the NY Times actually acknowledges the existence of any part of New York State outside of the city it's worthy of note.

Chewing Wax:
Chick food? It's what I found in the fridge. The new guy left it for me. I think he's kind of queer.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:31:23 pm)

Decoy:
You're right about that. Fucking NY centric news source.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:31:30 pm)

Chewing Wax:
He has a bag of peaches in there too.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:31:52 pm)

Decoy:
Uh oh. Did he take a shine t'yah?
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:32:02 pm)

Chewing Wax:
He's totally in love with me. He asked me to break up with Anne and move in with him.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:32:34 pm)

Decoy:
God you're sexy.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:32:59 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Ha ha. He has eight girl friends or something. He met Brian Setzer in a bar last night and hung out with him for a while. That would have been cool.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:33:42 pm)

Chewing Wax:
But honest to God, he told me he was going to leave me a cup of cherries. So I'm worried. Maybe he was just being nice.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:34:46 pm)

Chewing Wax:
The upshot of all this is, maybe it's chick food, but it's not like I went out and bought it for myself. Alright?
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:36:41 pm)

Chewing Wax:
My flaming gay co-worker left it for me.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:37:03 pm)

Decoy:
I'm fine with it, now. Thanks for explaining.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:38:34 pm)

Chewing Wax:
I don't want you to get the wrong idea
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:38:57 pm)

Chewing Wax:
So what time you lighting out?
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:39:33 pm)

Decoy:
We all went to lunch to Old Country Buffet. I'd have had some cherries if they had them there.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:39:54 pm)

Decoy:
I'm leaving at 2.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:40:10 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Uh oh. The Old Country Buffet eh? That sounds so disgusting.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:40:23 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Hey bela, can you tie a cherry stem in a knot in your mouth?
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:44:32 pm)

bela:
I just sort of told my boss off in an email. Shes driving me nuts! I can't take her anymore. Shes soooo fucking controlling it drives me insane.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:45:05 pm)

bela:
UUUGH! I am so mad.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:46:13 pm)

Chewing Wax:
You know, with your tongue?
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:46:34 pm)

Chewing Wax:
Forward e-mail to me please.

Decoy:
I was just calling the lumber yards. I found one where I can get the cedar clapboard to finish fixing the garage. That's what I'll do when I get home. Then I'll go in the pool.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:46:54 pm)

Chewing Wax:
A little work. A little play. Well done.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:47:43 pm)

Decoy:
I just consulted the archives - the accident happened on new years eve and I'm just now fixing it.
(Wed Jul 3, 2002 - 1:48:56 pm)

bela:
It wouldn't make sense to you.
