"Permission Is Granted!"
Monz allows us to postpone reports of an exciting weekend sojournlunch to relay the following true-slice-of-life conversation when a MYL Tech Services staffer visited Lincoln Park's Graham Cracker Comics location.
(background music: The Who's "Pinball Wizard")
Store Manager: "You know, they never play my favorite song from this album."
Store Worker: (pause) "And that may be..."
Store Manager: "Sally Simpson"
(Store Worker walks to the Marvel back issues boxes in the middle of the store)
MYL Staffer: "Yeah, that's one of my favorites too, except that I'm one of those heretics that thinks the movie soundtrack version is better. And the last verse is a lot like the British version of "A Clockwork Orange," looking back and commenting with the detachment of time.
Store Manager: "Yeah! (Noticing the staffer was carrying back issues of "Weird Science") We're having a half price sale on back issues the day after Thanksgiving.
Monz, who we suspect is seething mildly over the perceived wrongness of comparing the movie soundtrack favorably and the pretentious dialog above, was forced to make a quick run to reliable Fong's for some garlicky brocoli.
