"Oh, bard. I totally though you said you were a bit of something else there for a sec."
Cue Black-Eyed Peas. Album version, yo, no Radio Edits. It's all good, ninety-nine percent of annoying is Just Fine. There's just that One Percent that Jack doesn't play about.
"Anyway, no bigs. I'm not all, like, American Gladiator either. Keep figuring I should do something about that? Just never seem to." Indirect is fine. Wonderful, even. Fewer dead dope dealers for No Reason. "So, cool, good to know."
Eyebrows bounce a bit at the good being good bit. It was. It can be again. Just gotta find the right mix. Was there totally a story there he wasn't getting? About Dea bailing? Probably. But maybe Nosy Smurf is a lot closer to Curious Smurf because boundaries aren't just about swapping spit jokes. Besides? When people want you to know something, they tell you. Otherwise, they're probably just lying. True story.
"Yep-puh." Jack can't match Tuesday or Dev for Poppin'. Motions match the butchered word as he climbs up into the van. "You know, it's weeeeeeeird. It's see-sawed. Or made a circle. Pick your favorite imagery. But, yeah, no. For a while? Avis was the only woman. There was, let's see." Are mental fingers being counted? His own list checked? Maybe. "Four guys. And Avis. So, that was right after Lisa and Zoey left. Then, let's see. One guy didn't work out. One left. July just got traded to Tee Dee Ess, and who knows where Arthur is these days."
Buckle up. For both minutes. This whole mile.
"Is that cool? Or were you looking for a better ratio. Wayland seemed all about Tuesday...?"
Dunno, yo. Jack's always gotten along well with women. Maybe even better than. Except the hotties.
