Started to mention Al Swearengen since Milch wrote the role in _Deadwood_ with O’Neill in mind, but of course it never happened. Still would love to see him do a read.

People you’d like to be legally protected from now that the age old problem of transgender people in public restrooms has been addressed:

1. Belgians in the Waffle House

Being all snooty that “this is not what WE call a waffle!” and bragging about their human rights violations in the Congo. Ruins the Waffle House dining experience for me.

2. Three Stooge fanatics

Walking around, saying “Oh, a wise guy, eh?” and trying to poke me in the eyes with their fingers. I won’t have it. No reason a person should open his door in the evening only to find someone attempting ruffian physical humor, no reason at all.

Trust me–it’s not a “light scent.” We can follow you by tracking your clouds. And it’s even worse if you’re doing it to cover up weapons-grade BO.
