lines, lines, lines...

August 31. In Line at the Bookstore
A very large, very loud, very awkward boy wearing too much cologne, directing his comments at everyone else in line and at the same time absolutely no one at all: "Man! It's hot in here! What the heck was I thinking coming to the bookstore on the first day of classes, and at LUNCH TOO... hey, are you guys together? (said to the couple in front of him in line who were quite obviously together) I mean, like you'll go up to the thingy together?"
Man in relationship (attempting to keep the exchange as short and painless as possible): "...um..yeah."
Large, loud, awkward boy: "GREAT!... TWOFUR! haha...only FOUR people in front of me now! haha.."

I have absolutely no idea what "twofur" means. He might have started to say, "two for one" with his decidedly Utahn accent and half way through yelling the phrase as loud as his large lungs would let him realized that everyone was staring at him as though they had just seen him vomit, or he could have made up the phrase "twofur" just for the occasion. Perhaps he took pride in announcing his new invention to the entirety of all three levels of the bookstore. I will never know.
