earlier at ryan’s:
me:   you know, u2’s coming here in concert pretty soon.
ryan: really?  i’d go see them again.  they were my first concert ever.
me:   mine was the steve miller band.
ryan: that’s pretty cool.  mine is way cooler, though, because public enemy opened.
me:   i guess.  hey, flavor flav was in public enemy, right?
ryan: yeah.
me:   did i ever tell you i met him?
ryan: what?  you met flavor flav?
me:   yeah.
ryan: you did not.
me:   i did so.  i served him once when i was a waitress.
ryan: really?  was he wearing the big alarm clock?
me:   yes!  he had a fuzzy lime green shirt and a clock to match!
ryan: no way!  what did he order?
me:   hennessey.
ryan: hennessey?  he ordered fucking hennessey?
me:   yeah, it was funny.  i never told you this?
ryan: no!  no, you never told me this!
me:   because this seems like something i would have told you.
ryan: i know!  (yelling out the open window) ALISON MET FLAVOR FLAV! HENNESSEY!
