My worst photo-album moments and fauxto-pas:
- high-school girl showing me pictures of her dog Bruno in photo album held directly beneath giant breasts in low-cut top, in US History class -- ME: "What's Bruno doing there?" HER: "Uhh, that's a cat." (okay this was 80% because I was distracted but 20% because her tits were actually obstructing my view)
- "Wow, your mom looks really young there!" -- directed at picture of daughter when she weighed more and had a bad haircut (especially bad because part of the point of showing me the album seemed to be to say "I used to be fat" and check reaction)
- Evading make-out moment due to picture of sister who lived in town and looked way cooler
- Picture of girlfriend's parents as young couple at costume party in blackface and ooga-booga "jungle savage" gear
- Doing too much mental detective work and asking who took the nude "self-portraits" that didn't seem possible given the camera's lack of a timer mechanism
Best photo-album moment: coming across uncaptioned series of photos of someone serving as one-day honorary postmistress of Japanese prefecture -- "Umm, so what's with the wearing a suit and being given a tour of some kind of sorting facility by a bunch of middle-aged Japanese men?"
People's vacation shots are the really grueling part. I mean, god, I know what Paris looks like, I know what you look like, I can put two and two together. Show me what you looked like when you were in high school, tell me funny stories about your college friends, and let's end it.

A lot of them aren't so crusty anymore, though, you know? Like you go to Minneapolis and spot some face-tatooed bike-messenger folks, and yeah, crusty, but then there's plenty of well-groomed grad-student types, and ... I dunno, at this point it's like a spectrum between crusty, the guy who works at a university and listens to world music, and just average types.

It is
so awesome how much appreciation you can scam by giving people $1.50 tacos from only a block away! I'm doing that every night from now on. Except apparently I should keep a spare bag of kosher tacos.
