Waiting for a bus to Boston in the freaking enormous NYC bus terminal:

Random ranting bus guy: “Charles Manson is the son of butterball Satan. See you can spell the word Roman from his name because they served Satan and killed Jesus.”

Passenger: “What do you mean butterball? What’s turkey got to do with Satan?”

RRBG: “Well I tell you why he’s butterball Satan. One time I was in Mississippi waiting to get a haircut. I was reading a magazine. It was a white man’s magazine. That’s when I saw it. It filled up the whole page. It was a giant butterball turkey. It was Satan.”

As I passed in front of a McDonalds near Boston Commons at Park Street a thug and his girlfriend brushed by on the sidewalk. I overheard this, “I don’t want to hear it. We ate at McDonalds last night, bitch.”
