I read The Mister in public (and survived)
🕑 Added 2019-05-13 13:39:20 +0000 UTCIn our last episode I challenged those of you who were not so traumatized by the damage that buying The Mister had done to your Amazon algorithm to go and read it in a public setting. I would never ask you to do anything that I wouldn't do, so I boldly ventured to my favorite coffee shop in town (it is a total coincidence that it is a coffee shop that serves beer) with the book in tow, sat at my favorite table in a window so to be more visible to passersby, and read it for the better part of an hour.
I received no odd looks. Nobody tapped me on the shoulder and then punched me when I turned around. There were two woman close by that I suspected might be surreptitiously taking a picture to mock me on social media but it turned out that they were just looking at their phones instead of talking to each other.
In short, it was a positive experience, in that the beer was cold and delicious. I hope you will give it a try.
Of course, the perceived shame it did to my reputation was so large that I retreated to the woods the next day. I am posting this from a home computer fashioned from twigs and powered by jury rigged hydroelectric dam. I may never return.
Also I saw this Bob Honey inspired beer on the way to the campsite. I did not buy it, as the association with Chimeras and Sharting is too powerful to overcome.

It begs the question which is the chaser

Wait...so you were drinking a beer AND a coffee at the same time?

That could put into motion a whole "Say It Isn't So" (2001, starring Heather Graham, Chris Klein and Orlando Jones) chain of events that you might regret.

I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow and will read it in the barber's chair. I assume I will return home with one fewer earlobes than when I started. -- mjn
