Name: Thomas A. Mathe

Favorite Character: The Dude.

Likes: My wife. Reading. Writing. Cooking. Bryan Parys.

Dislikes: Conversations based on repeating knowledge, like working in an alehouse and having every customer ask, "Where's the bathroom?" without even bothering to look first. Though I like (I know this is in the wrong section, but it's important for narrative flow) the conversation that happens when I tell the people I would talk to about this that this situation bothers me, because everybody asks where the bathroom is, even me (usually in grocery stores when the bathroom is in some backroom storage area and you feel like you shouldn't be walking through there). So where do we draw the line in terms of when we complain about how dumb people are and when we suck it up? I'd argue that we should suck it up, all the time, because that kind of attitude just gets you nowhere, man. Even though I'm doing the opposite right now, and frequently do the opposite in conversation. Hot damn we could go on for days, get me a beer. Pretty soon I'm going to have to pee.
