Blogging is dangerous

Dave Alpert reports he was at his local coffeeshop with his laptop, trying to think what to post about today, when he was accosted by a very large man brandishing a knife:

... He started opening the blade as he approached me, but suddenly stopped a few feet away and said, “Wanna buy it?” Then, he approached two girls sitting at the next table as I got up to alert the manager. He left. Apparently, we weren’t the first because as the manager ran out the door to find the guy, he found the man surrounded by police near the corner of Huntington Ave. ...

(I think it's Alpert, not

You're right

I wish I knew why his last name gives me so much trouble; I keep doing that to him.

French Toast?

Could it be that you have had too much french toast and no Dick Albert this winter?

I wish I could blame demon syrup

But I think the first time I messed up his name was a couple years ago.

I work at Uno's on Huntingtn Ave, and the hostess who worked lunch was accosted by this man at the front door. He walked up to the desk, switchblade open, and asked her if she wanted to buy it. She said he was ultimately harmless, but definitely scary.
