From a text log between Strunk and myself:
Diablevert: I'm sitting in a pub off George's street listening to an Irishmen at the next table explain how McSorely's is the best pub he's ever been in.
Strunk: Are you going to engage him on that one? ('Cause it's touristy....)
Diablevert: It'd be rude, he's macking on a girl. Besides, he admitted as much about the tourists, but the cobwebs won him over.
Strunk: Well, she should be warned...and when did cobwebyness become a way to judge bar quality?
Diablevert: Well, I think the gist was that decades old cobwebs suggest a sort of anti-corporate ethos, tourists or no.
Strunk: Is the anti-corporate pick-up line working? I've never tried that so I figure it would be nice to know.
Diablevert: They've moved on to the subject of jealous ex-boyfriends, so you tell me.
Strunk: Shot down!
(pause)
Strunk: Glad I know now before I made a foolish move.
