TODD JAMS WITH FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS IN SEATTLE

Meat Soup

Todd Barry is a sensitive guy, really sensitive. Other guys will patiently read your poetry if you ask, but Todd will actually ask you if you write poetry before you bring it up. And if you don't, he'll encourage you to do so. He'll call you up daily and say things like "Hope you're writing poetry today!" That said, Todd still has it in him to be "mega manly." Like when he walked into this East Village restaurant and ordered a bowl of "meat soup." Hearty, delicious meat soup. The perfect way to fuel up before diving into a seventh re-read of The Collected Poems of Octavio Paz, 1957-1987: Bilingual Edition.

The "Golden Girl" Is For Me

Todd usually drinks manly drinks like whiskey. He'll often drink a whole bottle of whiskey, eat the bottle, then spit the glass shards into the face of a man who may or may have not looked at him the wrong way. But that can't be an every night thing, especially when the woman you're with orders a Mint Julep. On those nights you order a Golden Girl. Any idiot can get in a bar brawl after a night of whiskey drinking, but get in a tussle after downing a few-too-many Golden Girls? That's manliness defined.

Mandatory Burger

Todd has sampled a lot of various food and drink items in in his life: salad, fries, even a couple of glasses of G Sprietzer Rie. But he had never, ever, tried a "hamburger." So imagine his dismay when he ate a Portland restaurant with a "mandatory burger" policy. He wanted to avoid eating one, but he had "no choice."

Todd Was Warned

When Todd told people he was visiting Fargo, ND he usually got the same reaction: "nice place, but beware of the Bottomless Chili Upcharge." Todd thought they were joking, until he experienced it firsthand...the evil, nefarious, 50 cent Bottomless Chili Upcharge. Todd hasn't suffered so much since a trip to Milwaukee, where he was subjected to the Unlimited Beef Stew Tariff.

1 Name

See how this receipt almost arrogantly proclaims "1 Name, Tod." The problem with being too cocky is that it can often come back and bite you in the ass, and that's exactly what happened here. You see "Tod" is one name, but it's not the name of the person who ordered this drink. That person was/is Todd Barry. Perhaps the coffee vendor was trying to take Todd "down a notch." Well, guess what, it didn't work. You just made Todd want to work that much harder, and make that much more impact on society and the world around him.
