x: got some quotes of deductible vs. premium tradeoff at progressive.
x: also getting a quote from gecko.
b: i tried to call you earlier...D and I were discussing his coming over for dinner tonight & Buffy watching...
b: then he got a call from S saying she and S had just picked up 100 small Johnson's oysters and invited us over to eat them...
x: wow, nice. so we tape buffy or jag?
b: so, we can eat oysters at S & S's ( would drive us over at usual time) or we can stay home and do Buffy with D (and he said he'd eat oysters with them tomorrow)
x: your call...
x: you like oysters...
b: tough call. maybe since D tapes Buffy we could tape JAG
b: oysters are hard to turn down.
b: but weeknight carousing can be hard on me--and tomorrow I have a meeting and a lunch with Big C...
x: uh... then let's defer to the weeknight and pass on the oysters? (boo hoo)
x: probably the smart thing. i was thinking it would be nice to see dick.
b: oh, i don't want to spoil the fun ?
b: we had discussed his dropping by Bowl and getting a rotisserie chicken or something--any other ideas?
x: no, i can't handle fun right now. i'm a work frenzy.
x: you hate the spices in thos erotisserie chickens and they've stopped offering the barceue or jerked sauce.
x: better rotisserie and weird south african greek lucca
b: ok then. I'm going to tell D we have to pass on the oysters but would still like to have dinner with him?
b: what's greek lucca?
x: i mean better rotisserie at weird south african greek rustica in montclair across the street from notlucca
b: you mean better roast chicken than pizza?
x: {rimatsfn-} was left out... notlucca = a.g.ferrari a.k.a. a.e.ferrar
b: you are losing me
x: yes, saying that if roast chicken then rustica better than bowl
x: she's breaking up! she's breaking up!
b: actually--do you have time to call D--i'm struggling with an action alert
x: also, new puzzler: where's my cellphone?
x: yes, i will call dick
b: i have no idea!
x: i will call him deke, of chez deke.
x: it was a rhetorical question
x: but a puzzler nonetheless
b: you had your phone yesterday on the way to Al's
b: and you called me from the car after Al's
x: I know. I had in Eve on the way home. I think Eve is starting to leak objects into a nearby nano-blackhole.
x: "At what age did Briggs obtain a U.S. state-issued driver's license?"
b: 15.5
x: oops, i said 18. that could skew the quote at gecko i guess
b: have you talked with D?
b: should I call him?
b: i just left a message for D--turning down oysters and asking if he still wants to get together with us for dinner tonight
b: we still have to figure out the menu
b: and were you saying Rustica chicken was a better/easier idea than Bowl rotisserie? if yes, do you mind getting it?
x: yes, i talked to him, sorry
x: i didn't hear you buzz
x: i did call d and left him a message
x: he just called me back.
x: we didn't discuss the chicken, but he is in charge of meat
x: weird it says they'll mail the quote now
x: i guess with accidents they don't do it online?
