Swatties: The Arrogant Table of 1996
One dreary day in Sharples, we sat and griped about how much work we hadn't gotten done, how much the food sucked, and how few women were flocking, when Vigoda pipes up:"Guys, we're just sitting here, griping about how much work we have to do, how much the food sucks, and how the women aren't flocking, but just LOOK at us! We are so self-centered! We applaud our own biting commentary, laugh at our own obnoxious noise, and repel visitors! We exude arrogance! This is the Arrogant Table."
We laughed. Then we were silent, thinking about how to deal with ourselves. We decided to accept it and move on.Now, the regulars approve of visitors, as long as they can exhibit a little bit of arrogance. It's just self-confidence, we say.
