Mah poor Khitpit elbow!


In a time that was not so long ago ..point of fact last week ...i went to see a movie ..somebody's supremacy and went with hi-hopes-to-heaven



tinking i wud enjoy it ...walk in with a glass of coke to stream in regular doses of caffeine just in case i missed franka potente by as much as a blink ...Lo and behold my favorite chairs the ones right up front were still empty ...(up close and personal eh!) ...i was content ..happy even to realise that i had the space to stretch out and comfortably watch the moo-vee ...then in a whirl i was completely flanked by a gentleman and a lady of rather large proportions on either side....as an aside...for people who are the movie going types Im sure you understand how important it is to have your elbows (YES ! both of them) comfortably placed on the armrests and let your shoulders slouch and slide down in your seat..before you can truly begin to understand and appreciate the movie ...anyways this was impossible given the size of these giant elbows that were claiming space on the arm-rests that were rightfully mine ...In vain did i jostle ..I got an inch and refused to yield ..and i would bend down to sip at my coke instead of lifting my arm up to bring it to my mouth ..for i was afraid that this lonesome inch would be lost in battle forever ...ladies and gentlemen i was living a seinfeld moment in a john kennedy toole novel with ignatius and his female alter ego engaging me on all fronts at all times ...But i could not back down ..No sir ..i could not and i did not ..needless to say i did not watch the movie at all ..at all but i held my own .. and i as i left the claustrophobic confines of the cinema hall and let the breeze outside waft through my hair i was struck with a thought ..that made me smile ..drove down to blockbuster ..picked up Godfather .. went home..popped some corn ..and some coke .. lounged in THE CHAIR ..and contentedly watched that classic for the umpteenth time .. as i was saying my elbow is not usually like this ..Circumstances ,Stand up and plead guilty .. or i go to the ..mattresses
