the girls Saturday night

Here is a pic of the infamous night of the evil shoes. My friends are on each side of me in the back, and the girls in the front all have the same name. I think they are the Chrissies or something.

For your edification

"L’esprit d’escalier" doesn’t really have a phrase with the same meaning in English, but the literal translation is “the wit of the stairs.” It is when you have just walked away from an argument or discussion where you’ve been kind of shocked or stumped, then you think of the perfect thing that you didn’t say, but it is too late; your wit didn't catch up to you until you were already on the stairs.
