A visit to the local hardware store in Capitol Hill
Me: "Hi, I would like four sticks of half inch copper tubing"
Sales Guy: "What are you building?"
Me: "Its for a sink and toilet"
Sales Guy: "What are you trying to represent?"
Me: {pause}
Me: "Its for my basement, I am getting rid of the galvanized pipes"
Sales Guy: "Wow, so you are going to use it for a bathroom?"
Me: {pause}
Me: "Yes, it will be for my basement bathroom"
Sales Guy: "We never get anyone in here doing that".
This is where I should mention I live in Capital Hill, which is a fairly eclectic neighborhood of Seattle. Its filled with artists. I was just going out to pick up some parts so that Monad, my plumber, can finish replacing the current discordian plumbing system that exists in my house.
Monad teaches sculpture classes and has artwork around the city. His sculptures are pretty cool.
What does this mean for my house?
I've got great looking pipes.
Your plumber has carpenter's crack.
Mine teaches sculpture, has what appears to be several feet of dread locks, and turns plumbing into a work of art.
Seattle rocks.
