A couple weeks a go I was at The Mallard and overheard a couple who were obviously on a first date. The guy was way too talky and eager to show how artsy and intellectual he was and somehow veered to the topic of some documentary he'd seen about a family who adopted a bunch of kids who all suffered from some progressive flesh-eating virus. He then segued into a vivid description of the appearance of the disease and ultimate early demise of said kids. It was beyond gruesome and there he was after his third or so beer, spilling his guts, so to speak. She was obviously a bit anesthetized by that point, but I could see her trying really hard to remain polite and not vomit all over him.
