old american me, for the 40-millionth time

"I'll need to see your passport."
[Puppy-like head tilt, quizzically.] "I just want a drink, dude."
"But I need to see proof of your age, that you're over 21, miss."
"Wouldn't my driver's license work for that?"
"Oh, you're from America?"

Because-a mi ak-chentay iss so bahd, zhou know.

Maybe he just needed to see your passport cuz he was trying to whisk you away on a magickal adventure, just over the border into Drunkua New Guinea.

Meh. I've been there. Over-rated, but better than Skunkedya New Guinea or - worse still - Ashton Kutcher's inflatable silicone island...yes, I'm doing it!...Punk'd'ya New Guinea.

Also, if I had PhotoShop (goddamn $650 PhotoShop), I would doctor that passport so that your name said:

Last Name: Gamine
First Name: Saucy

so much better than my previous (see: Discovery Channel) flapper era i.d. that was something like Brandy Cordial.

The shame.

Also it is a relief that the 'boyish' part of the definition of 'gamine' is not so dominant as:
Gamin(e) is connected with the English “game” (in the sense of spirited).

And not 'game' in the sense of STINKING.

(or am I reading into that?)
