Employees of the cafeteria in this building are wont to address certain customers as "Trouble", and vice versa. Apparently these folks have wild habits that shake the quotidian foundations of the workaday world. This is not true. All these people are milquetoast.

Worse yet, I heard one customer address a counter worker as "Trub". This means the fad has gone too far to nip it in the bud by humane means.

And in worser news, I've just found out that Mitch Hedberg has died. Mrs The Fyd and I once saw him as the opener for Lewis Black and Dave Attell at the Crystal Ballroom here in Portland. Hedberg was very good indeed, tant pis.
