Everyone Hates Us...That's Great
D magazine's blog had this gem overheard at lunch recently:
So true.

While dining at Stromboli's, I didn't have to eavesdrop to hear the half-dozen HP 8th-graders seated next to me. I don't know what started them on this topic of conversation, but HP 8th-grader #1 said, "The entire world hates the United States. The United States hates Texas. Everyone in Texas hates Dallas. And Dallas hates Highland Park."
"Everyone hates us," said HP 8th-grader #2 with a slight, almost boastful laugh. "That's great."
They then wondered what was taking their pizza so long.
So true.
