Back in the 50s, when I was barely scraping by with some crappy pump jockey job in the bad part of Newark, I decided to join a greaser gang for my own protection. I got myself a leather jacket and a Mexican switchblade, slicked back my wavy locks into a classic DA, and practiced the swagger and bluster until I had them down pat, daddy-o. So I'm talking to Roadkill, leader of the Newark Nutjobs, about my prospects in his gang, and I tell him, look, I'm young now, and can pretty much take anything they throw at me, but that won't last for ever. How do I maintain this aura of cool, quiet, sexy danger well into my golden years? I don't want to be cracking heads and taking hits from young turks when I should be relaxing in my Barcalounger watching Ozzie and Harriet with my lovely wife of 50 years. And Roadkill says, not a problem, not a problem -- we're all looking forward to retirement. But that's the thing, you dig? The older generation steps back, and we get fresh blood. They do all the head banging, we take all the credit. Then they retire and get in a whole new batch of recruits to do the head banging for them. An so it goes, on and on, and no one is ever the wiser. Well, I thought about it for a day or two, and decided to pass. I could see it working for a while, but this reliance on a never-ending supply of fresh leather-jacketed DA-coiffed motorcycle-riding young greasers to prop up the organization amounted to just another elaborate Fonzie scheme.

I always imagined you as the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

...only sexier.

I'm blond, and wear purple flowers in my hat. Otherwise, spot-on.

Guests can leave requests at the hotel where I work for the front desk to check-in their flights for them. I just handled one for Detta Airlines.

Typos rock.

Once upon a time, my mom nailed me right in between the shoulder blades with a high heel. The only time in her entire life that she had good aim. God damn she was pissed at me.

In other news...a six foot ladder was just delivered to my house. I have a bad feeling that this is supposed to be the "step ladder" that I asked for for Christmas and I wasn't supposed to see it. Perhaps Enrique never noticed the six foot ladder that we have down in the shed and never noticed me complain that I hate getting it every time I need to change a light bulb and that I wished I had something smaller.

Now that you have two, you can keep one in the bedroom.

Just in case, you know.

It's just messed up when Las Vegas gets snow and it feels like summer where I'm at.

Novice · « **Reply #3968 on:** December 19, 2008, 05:56:41 PM »

It was warmer at 1:00am this morning than it was the entire day yesterday here in Wichita. I watched all the snow on the ground melt with a combination of warm air and rain in the middle of the night! I've given up trying to figure out what it's going to be like outside.

So the weather here is horrible. I got into a car accident today... I was oddly calm during the experience... It was weird. First car crash ever, first time I've ridden in a cop car either.... It was awesome . That's what I get for skipping the last day of school.

So how are you?

How is your car?

How are the hittee(s)/hittor(s) depending on which group you belong to?

Karma can and will come back to you instantaneously.

...We were driving and saw a car in a ditch, so we were like, "LOL there's a car in a ditch." Then we began to slide all over the road, did a 360, and drove into a ditch, the car almost flipped.

Glad to hear everyone's alright. You know... other than that whole 2k in damages bit.

Video games are good for you.

Chris · « **Reply #3973 on:** December 22, 2008, 12:46:03 AM »

Though they only did the test with strategy-heavy video games, it seems. Games like the GTA series might be out of the question then.

Bloodsau Sage · « **Reply #3974 on:** December 22, 2008, 01:14:41 AM »

GTA has strategy.
Shoot the hooker or sleep with the hooker. The decisions are virtually endless...
