Curly Straws

Leaning in to drink from a curly "Q" straw is one of the most emasculating experiences a man can have. I didn't pay for the drink, though, so I thought I might humor my benefactor by using the straw she provided. It was a good Coke. Just the right combination of fizz and syrupy sweetness. I came to the pub to write and thereby vault out of my melancholy funk. I got a Coke instead. I'm not complaining, I mean, I like Coke, but Coke is killing me. 90's pop music is also killing me.
