I just now went to the Sketchy-Mart to buy a pack of cigarettes, despite my intent to swear off them. As I exit and approach my car, a tiny, curvy, hijab-sporting woman runs up to me.
"Hey!" she calls in a vaguely Northern African accent, "One dallah for a cigarettes?"
Mildly confused, I say "You want a cigarette?"
"No," she says, "I want a dallah for buy cigarettes."
I say, "Oh, sure, I'll give you a dollar."
Then she peers at my throat and says "Nice necklace! I have same one!" and pulls aside her hijab to show me her five-fingered hand of Eris.
I say "Thank you!" and she says "Thank you! Happy New Year!"
I hand her a dollar, and she runs into the store. I proceed to my car and drive home.
:eek:
how... odd
:lol:
She's doing it right.
NICE.

...Wow.
I think we have a year of weirdTM on the way, folks.
O.o If I were the sort of person who looked for omens and portents in things like this; I'd be stocking up on Pepsi, popcorn, and Hazmat suits right now.
A Dollar for cigarettes? They're £7.50 a pack here!
We are everywhere, and we were the last to know. Figures.

If Timewave zero is correct then 2012 is going to be the weirdest year in the history of man.
