The Mountain Goats’ “Waving at You” is a song about a guy getting through his ex’s birthday; more accurately, it’s about a guy almost buying her a birthday gift and then realizing she’s not in his life anymore. So today’s “Waving at You” day at PBW, and a pretty amazing one so far:

James: “When you hit the ground, the last thing you need is a shovel.”

The Guy in the Deli: “We all go through ups and downs, you know? But listen, elevator shoes–uplifting, right? Elevator shoes.”

The Bus Driver: “Hey, I’ve got magic pants.”

Also, I guess I missed PBW’s 1st Anniversary. Dear May, leave something left of me for June. With Fondness and Regards, mp.
