    Back upstairs, the super is standing in front of a man in his boxers. Next to the man is a small dog. Mote confronts Melvin Bransky for the first time since the bar. Just as she starts talking, he pees himself, right there in the doorway of his apartment. The urine spreads and fills in around the dog's feet. It's gross. Beyond Bransky, Mote can see her bag. She shuffles past the now pee soaked guy, steps over his mess, and grabs her things.


    This is the standard against which I will measure all drinking problems from now on.

    @John Cook


    I know Carla Mote very well and her family plans to spend the Memorial Day weekend with my family, memorialing. I think it's sensationalist journalism like this that is ruining the publishing industry.

    @notsofresh: Yes, and the little pup was never mentioned again. If she'd switched the two bags, would the perp have ripped off the chihuahua?


    Here's the fuller story, but I think it won't transmit because links aren't allowed.

    And now they're Facebook friends, which just goes to show that Asian massage parlors don't have exclusive ownership rights to Happy Endings.

    Yes, but HOW did she figure out who this person was in the first place? Inquiring minds want to know.
