I like that story. Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately, in the clear light of morning, I believe my brother has now devolved into being offensive and even more of an asshole to egg me on.

I had always known my brother was superficial and I have also known he can be an ass, but I can't say I ever anticipated that he would publicly insult a stranger. He was feeling a bit bad about it last night when I was dressing him down in the car, but his defense strategy is to insist that something is HILARIOUS, even when it's awful. In order to not feel bad about it, I suppose. (Hey, I'm not saying it's healthy behavior.) So I feel like this is a lot of shitty qualities in my brother coming out and snowballing.

We have two concerts planned in the next two months and I don't think I'm bringing him. (I pay for things up front and he pays me back, usually, so I have both sets of tickets.)

Anyway, thanks again for the comment.
