Conversation Overheard on a Bus
I overheard this while riding the bus today:
Dude 1: "I heard you were dating a model for a while."
Dude 2: "Yeah... No, I still am."
Dude 1: "That's awesome, she's cool?"
Dude 2: "She's great. I've got a picture here..."
Dude 1: "Of course you do, she's a model..."
Dude 2: "Right."
(pause)
Dude 2: "Here."
Dude 1: "Oh... she does mainly print work, or..."
(Dude 1's tone is saying "how the hell is she a model, she's not pretty." I picked up on this but Dude 2 did not.)
Dude 2: "This is a picture I took, not a headshot or anything."
(awkward pause)
Dude 1: "So print..."
Dude 2: "Not really, mainly she models for potato chips."
Dude 1: "They pay her in potato chips?"
Dude 2: "No, they pay her in money."
(awkward pause)
Dude 2: "She does... like... um..."
Dude 2 gets out of his seat and lies down on the floor of the bus.He contorts himself into various potato chip-shaped positions.
Dude 1: "Oh, I see."
Dude 2 gets off the floor and brushes himself off.
Dude 2: "Yeah so she does that, and these guys come in and sculpt the potato chips."
Dude 1: "That's really great. I'm really happy for you two."
At this point, the woman sitting behind me notices that I've been watching this interaction.
Woman: "Is that guy okay?"
Me: "Yeah, he was just telling a story."
Woman: "Oh..."
She returns to her seat.
Me: "I'm sorry, but are you a model?"
Woman: "Why yes, how did you-?"
Me: "Just a guess."
She shrugs.
Woman: "When you have a face like a pastrami sandwich, there are really only two things you can do for a living..."

Holiday Wishlist (Surrealist Version)
Reader e-mail time:
From Jim:
Dan and Vince,
Hey guys, I was wondering what you were asking for this Christmas? Do you guys celebrate Christmas?
Also, I NEED the rent by the third of December guys. I can't keep floating you, this is all covered in the lease.
Thanks,
Jim XXXXXXXX
Hey Jim, thanks for your interest in surrealism. I'll answer your second question first, but first I'll re-word it.
Do you except gifts in December?
Jim, the word is accept, and yes, we accept gifts all year.
We are especially fond of the idea of a fat man in a red suit, riding around on a sleigh pulled by a group of flying reindeers, defying time and physics to deliver presents to everyone on Earth. What's so appealing about the creature children refer to as jolly fat man in red suit is that he takes time out of his pressing December 24th schedule to deliver coal to rotten children. How devilish!
Secondly, your first question, it's one I'm glad you asked. People are often confused about this. Last year someone gave me a lighter shaped like a toilet.
That's not surreal.
That's crap.
Listen, just because I'm a surrealist doesn't mean I like any damn weird stuff you find while waiting on a check-out line. You should see my apartment.
Is tiny.
Honestly, you want to get me something that would help me be a surrealist? How about a sandwich. Seriously. Living as an art object is some hungry business.
Or this.
But that's it. No novelty crap. I mean it.

Candles and Possible Insanity
I got a call from our building manager in New York the other day because FedEx left a 40-pound box addressed to me on our doorstep. I don’t know when we’ll be back from LA, so I tell him to slap another
FedEx label on it and send it on its happy way out west. Who would send me forty pounds of anything, I wondered. And what did they send? I had to wait.
The 40 lbs. of FedEx arrived on my doorstep this evening. And I opened it. And in that gigantic box, were smaller boxes. All filled with candles. By some candle designer named Vance Kitira. Which is very nearly my name.
Now, I knew that there were candles out there that almost had my name on them. The first time I saw them, I thought “Hey, that's weird.” But now I have 40 pounds of them. And I'm thinking that's a little weirder. Who the hell would do this?
I pulled off my building manager’s FedEx label to see what was under it, and I find the original shipping label, and it says this and I'm not kidding:
"Candles
Vince Katrola
New York, NY 10013
Candles.
Vince Katrola Candles
(our address)
New York, NY 10013
Candles."
That’s right: the return address and the shipping address are both mine, and the word “candles” appears far too many times. I thought at first that somebody didn't like their candles, wanted to send them back to the manufacturer, and Googled the wrong name. So I tried that. But this guy Kitira is waaaaay more popular than I am, and there is no bastardization of his name that makes Google think you were looking for me, instead. I'm now left to think that some insane person who knows me in some capacity (and who may or may not be in Phoenix, which, according to the FedEx website, is where the box came from...) lost their mind and sent this package to me.
And got so excited about their joke that they couldn't stop writing “candles” on the address label. The real question becomes: Is someone trying to out-Surrealist a Surrealist?
Vince out.
