Migs

John:  This beer really hits the spot.

Migs:  There’s nothing better than an ice-cold brewsky.

John:  Especially after a long, hard day of work – moving all our stuff up here to Portland. But why did it have to be so hot? It was, like, 90 degrees!

Migs:  I’m drenched in sweat. I feel disgusting. I gotta get out of these clothes and get in the shower.

John:  You haven’t taken a shower yet?

Migs:  I know, it’s gross. But I’m having a beer!

John:  Man, that’s sick. But doesn’t it feel nice to be moved up here to a new house and a bigger city?

Migs:  I just saw some cute girls out on the sidewalk. This place is great!

John:  Yeah, and there’s a park right down the street and a store down the other way, and I saw a little restaurant called the Oriental Express. Maybe we should check that out for dinner.

Migs:  Great, I’m starved! Let’s eat!
