Seen & Heard During Shabbat In Pico-Robertson

Posted on October 23, 2007 by Luke Ford

"If I had known [Shabbos dinner] was so close, I would’ve worn my fuck-me pumps."

I heard that priceless line from a loyal female reader.

I saw a man (about 40) I’ve known since moving to LA. His eyes and smile were glassy. He jerked and twitched.

I wondered what the problem was. This guy is a regular in Pico-Robertson and in the Fairfax-La Brea Orthodox communities.

AND HE’S COKED OUT OF HIS MIND!

I’ve never seen anyone coked out of their mind at a Shabbos dinner.

I’ve never known any regular in the Orthodox community to be a drug addict.

We’ve got to do something about quality control.
