Tomfoolery is a word whose time has come for a revival. Also poseurs.

Those bar recommendations are the booze equivalents of Olive Garden and I hope you didn't go to any of them.

Lollllllll no we did not. We had a Jack Astor's at the mall here for a while, which helped me triangulate her taste pretty quickly.

Moody, odd, but charismatic later on. I don't even remember him existing in the first few years, so probably a wallflower (like I was, but a different clique).

I ran into him once at a concert a few years back. What we talked about wasn't something I'd share, but he's got a sense of humor.
