Out to lunch.  I’m BSing with some buddies from the service; we’re talking great foods we’ve had overseas, and I mention croissants.  I hear snickering behind me.  I turn and look:  Four culture-vulture douche-foodies, all with the requisite stick-up-the-ass formal wear, are laughing at me.  I ask, “There something funny?”  After the lead douche-vulture stops with the hysterics, he says, “It’s not pronounced crah-sahnt.”  He twists up his face like he’s undergoing next-level shock therapy and brays, “It’s QWUAAAA SAAAAAA!”  I open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  Chuck Liddell materializes, stares these guys dead in the eye and says, “I like to pronounce it cruss-ANT.  Got a problem with that?”  Gazes avert, distinct smell of loosened bladders, and I hear the tiny response: “No sir.”  Aaaah…what a perfect lunch!

Sick of culture-vultures and their elitist BS?  Use a Chuck Liddell to make them wet themselves.  Echo Vol. 1 is $0.99 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.
