Imagine if you will a very tall, very skinny young man wearing dark rimmed glasses, an Army coat, and some fingerless gloves with skeleton hands printed on them. Imagine that he has a mohawk and is laughing really hard and going "OH MAN! THAT'S SO TOTALLY SWEET!"
The person you are imagining is named Jacob Pepper and he is in charge of magazines at my store. He is one of the most endearing people I have ever met. My friend Jon described it best I think when he said that, "Jacob always acts like a puppy who just discovered that he's got a tail. He's like, 'Oh sweet man, look at my awesome tail!'"
Two brief stories to give you a better idea of what he's like:
On election day, Jacob came into the receiving room excited and wanted to know if anyone had seen a picture of John Kerry when he was in his twenties. Everyone had.
"Oh man," said Jacob, "he looked like a TOTALLY SWEET DUDE!"
Today at work Tim Kaine, the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, came in to do some Christmas shopping. Jacob was at the cash registers to ring him up, and had absolutely no idea who he was. As Jacob put his books into a shopping bag a passerby wished Mr. Kaine luck, which confused Jacob a little.
"Luck with what?"
"Oh," said Mr. Kaine, "I'm the Democratic candidate for Governor this year."
"DUDE!" said Jacob, "THAT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!"
