But, when I was in the convenience store paying for gas, I saw the Hostess display and bought a couple of packages of Hostess cupcakes. Took them to the counter. The cashier was a 20-something woman with multiple piercings. "Oh, you found some Hostess. We're outa Twinkies already. Did you ever see Zombieland?"

I said no.

She said, "It was the coolest movie. This guy was like looking for the last package of Twinkies on the planet, and he had to like kill zombies."

She didn't volunteer any more. So I asked, "So, did the guy get his Twinkies?"

She said, "Yah, just before the end of the movie."

It was an exchange of information between two entirely dissimilar people. I'm 67 and have gray hair and a full beard. Amazing. But, we actually said more than, "Yah, that'll be $12.97." "Thanks."

I won't see it, though. I'm too old and grumpy for that. I'll just eat my Hostess cupcakes and drift off for a nap.
