Streeter: Different Strokes Edition

By David Topping

2008_07_30_Streeter.jpgOverheard by an anonymous reader outside of Mitzi’s Sister this weekend, where two women in their thirties are catching up over brunch.
Girl #1: He totally wants to take me to Wicked. I don’t know what to do…
Girl #2: It did well on Broadway. I hear it is really good. You should go.

    This one feels uncomfortably short; it’s making me question the source of the anxiety of Girl#1 and provides a lack of resolution. Meh, back to work.

  • Svend

    She should tell him she’s hoping to trade up.

  • kstop

    She can use the same answer for both of ‘em: “schyeah, maybe if I was in my 40s and had no other options!”

  • torontothegreat

    Actually the reply is quite an acceptable reply.
    There is no context as to which ‘Wicked’ speaker number 1 was referring to.
    god these are retarded.

  • David Topping

    torontothegreat is totally Girl #2.

  • atomeyes99

    i actually thought this was funny.
    *shrug*

  • toronno

    Well, at least it’s not Mandy Goodhandy’s. If he offered to take her there she should be scared. Totally.
    (This was funny…)

    My advice: hold our for Spamalot tickets.

  • montauk

    Can someone explain the joke to me? I’m not being snarky…I just don’t get it.

  • antiboy

    I think it’s because girl 1 is agonising over the boy situation while girl 2 is thinking more about the broadway musical situation.

  • David Topping

    It’s because Wicked is a renowned swinger’s club on Queen West—and also the name of a popular Wizard of Oz–based musical.

  • atomeyes99

    antiboy: girl 1 is agonizing over a boy-girl-girl situation in her not-so-distant future.

  • Gloria

    Women in their thirties are girls?

  • elliot

    i chuckled.

  • montauk

    Hahahaha!
    Thanks David Topping.
    Man, it’s like impossible to refer to you by first name only, isn’t it?
