Overheard at a bus stop

 Featuring teenagers1, 2, and 3,  playing hooky and waiting for a bus to downtown  Seattle.

1-  Is that the 31?
2- We could take the 31.
3- Where's it go?
1- Mongolia.
2- Mongolia?
3- Ha.  It says 'Magnolia'.
1- Well I couldn't--it was at an angle, so I--it looked like 'Mongolia'.
3- Isn't that a type of teriyaki?
1- I think it's a place. Isn't it some kind of place?
2- That's in, like, West Seattle.


I could have put on some music. Instead, I listened to this.  ... For those who don't know, Magnolia is a neighborhood in Seattle. Neither it, nor Mongolia can be found in West Seattle.

I put it to you:

What is wrong with moustaches? Eh?

For Every Problem, a Solution (4)

God as depicted throughout the ages.  No Alanis Morissette, and, no, that isn't ironic.

My room is a mess, my painting unfinished.

...and I still haven't found a good alternative to my scanner with its missing power-cord.  Almost finished with this painting, though.  I just need to put in a bus seat in front of and behind the passenger. Incidentally, the Seattle Metro buses have the ugliest upholstery I can remember seeing, and I spent five years working at a used furniture store.
