There's an AA meeting going on in my coffee house right now. This would normally be fine, but they happen to be sitting very close to me and I can hear every sanctimonious word. (I know, I know.) The problem comes when I leave. I have been known to have trouble keeping my mouth shut. Here's what I'm going to try so hard not to say to the group as I walk out: “Hi, my name's Hulles and I'm an alcoholic, Fuck it, let's all go drink beer at Costello's, I'm buying.”
It's a curse. I wonder if there's a Smartass Anonymous?

I thought the AA were semi-confidential... ergo, not open to the general public. Not a smart move putting it on display, but then again, what do I know?
:)
I'd love a Smartass Anonymous - although it would be a rather small group: smartasses knows best, and what do they need a support group for?!?!
If there isn't a SA in existence, I need to know why...I'm sure membership would be huge!

that's fucked up.
Heart, I couldn't agree more about the privacy issue, see the next post. And thanks for stopping by. Good luck with the n men in your life, n being a small integer.
Claire, we need to start one. We'd rake in a gazillion in t-shirt sales alone.
Anne, if you're talking about my wanting to make a snide comment, ouch, no clean sweatshirt for you. If you're talking about the meeting, amen sister. And I hope you're back in town. I hate it when you're gone.
i'm talking about the AA meeting in the coffee shop. that would have really pissed off a curmudgeon like me. and then to end in prayer? (although i think that's part of the AA meeting.) excuse me? if i wanted to be subjected to prayer i would have gone to one of those places with the sharp, pointy things on the roof.
yes, i am back!
Anne, glad you're back. I'm reinstating the promise of wearing a clean sweatshirt if and when we ever meet. Hell, I'll even wear my $80 underwear. And yeah, the meeting thing ended up grating on me too, as you might gather from the next post.
Ironically, at first I thought the AA gathering was a book club meeting.
