And it begins

So, this started a while ago, and I hadn't done much with it until now, so here is the archive of all the Dear Dude or Dear Lady Entries from the past.

Look for new entries soon.

6/4/09- Dear 'dude' walking down Melrose last night: leather pants that look like the cow was sick before it died, and cowboy boots so worn they look more like elf shoes, with a bandana under your hat is NOT Rock & roll, it's just Dirty & skeevy.

 

6/10/09- Dear Dude standing/waiting at the light on Olive this morning: Just because everyone around you is in cars does NOT mean we can't see you doing a massive crotch adjust for like 20 seconds. Wait until you get inside for that. I beg of you. Because seeing that was horrifying, and made me wonder how that didn't hurt a little.

 

6/18/09- Dear 4 dudes in a Nissan Versa all in v-neck white t-shirts, oversized girly sunglasses, precisely manicured 5 o'clock shadow facial hair, carefully placed and product controlled 'just woke up' hair, grooving/head bobbing (simultaneously) to euro-synth club music, FULL volume at 10:30am in burbank: Really?

 

6/23/09- Dear Dude who delegated sign making/ hanging at his lamp store: the sign should NOT read "rod iron lightings & tables". That's not right.

 

6/25/09- Dear i-sincerely-hope-you're-not-a-dude in the Barbie Pink Acura with a UNICORN sticker on the back window: You frighten me. A lot.

 

6/29/09- overheard at the gym- Manager (MG) giving tour to prospective member (PM)== PM: why are the locks on the lockers, and not have people bring padlocks? MG: This is the more Upscale Way of doing things. Me: (silently, in awe) wow.

 

7/14/09- Dear Dude driving the Starline tours truck, and the FOUR other cars who all tried to hit me on the way in this morning: F you all you F-ers- look before you change lanes. F-ers.

 

7/15/09- (changing it up a little) Dear Lady walking her cat on a leash on the corner of Hollywood/ highland this morning: Stop that- the cat looks beyond terrified! And fat. That is one fat cat.

 

7/18/09- Dear Dudes and Ladies who ran for a cause this morning: well done. (not my usual, but totally deserved)

 

7/21/09- Dear Lady in the Gym locker room who feels the need to, at full volume, complain about having only lost 7 of the 10 lbs she gained, all while having a figure most of us would kill for: I may have to jump over these lockers and kill you. Nothing personal.

 

7/27/09- Dear Mini-Dude on the 3 hour early morning (and delayed) flight from Austin who taught me about gratitude: Your play by play announcements of the entire flight is one of the reasons people invented noise canceling headphones, for which I am grateful. Thank you headphone inventors for keeping me from smacking small children.

 

7/29/09- Dear White Dude with dreads down to the backs of his knees, who I saw walking in Hollywood tonight: The beer gut is really making the look. Really. Stick with that plan.

 

8/1/09- Dear Dude driving the 5series BMW in front of me thru Potomac: you have a precision engine. Driving it that slow is just criminal. I'm gonna have to take that.

 

8/3/09- Dear French Dude in the airport: France can't hear you from here, there's no need to be so loud. Seriously, take it down a notch.
