So i was the rookie at the time and was given the dubious job of going over to a small 4" blow-down riser and opening it up allowing the gas to blow to atmosphere. Well it was the same noise level and the same feeling you had when that jet plane took off. It made my bones ache and rattle like crazy.. talk about a scary moment.. | |

| Fish are "thithies" and a doll baby is "dadee" when you're 16 months old.

| Random story thought... The other day I pulled into a gas station to fill up.. I come in behind this little old man doing the same thing. So I put my credit card into the slot to pre-pay and start pumping, but I notice the old man was having a bit of trouble. He was trying to pay for the gas with his medicare card.. that did not work so he fumbles around and pulls out a different useless card.. that doesn't work.. now at this point that wasn't something I was even about to laugh at. The old man was struggling and getting a bit frustrated.. it was odd.. he reminded me of my grandpa in many ways and I felt sorry for him.. Well my gas fill was done and I proceeded to put the gas pump up still watching the little old man struggle to get some gas.. he was alone.. no one was offering any form of help and that particular day it was cold and rainy. I dunno.. I just felt sorry for him.. so I casually walk over to him.. "Excuse me sir, I can't help but notice your having some trouble here? Maybe I can help.. " by this time he was shaking a bit from being cold.. He kinda laughs a bit, i guess being somewhat embarrassed and says.. "Well I can't seem to find the right credit card for this pump.." and then to my utter amazement hands me his bill fold.. I smile and glance at it.. found his credit card and put into the gas pump for him then hand him back his wallet. "How much gas do you want?.." he replies.. "just enough to get home.."..lol and that would be "where?" I thought.. "How about I just filler up for you and you can have a full tank to last you for a while.." .. he smiles and agrees to it.. So i got his gas for him, gave him his receipt and wished him well. I love to help people.. especially the elderly.. they seem to get ignored in our day and time.. |

| Here's my random post-lunch thoughts for the day . . . An Open Letter to the Waiter Dude. In case you were wondering where myself and my 3-4 friends have been lately, we stopped eating at Mulligan's because of YOU. That's right. The little gravy train of gov't workers that would pour in there once or twice a week and fill your coffers with our paychecks in return for shoddilly prepared food and drinks served in cups opf questionable cleanliness has reached the end of the line. Where did you %%%% up, you might wonder? Let me tell you: 1) Your attitude stinks. You may think you're cool but you aren't, you are obnoxious. There is a difference between connecting with people and just standing there and looking like a fool. We come to a restaurant expecting a waiter, not Joe Cool. 2) Your service stinks. Ignoring our table for 15 minutes and then sprinting up with the water pitcher isn't going to cut it. We aren't sitting there thinking, "Wow, he's such a hard worker that he hasn't been able to find a few seconds to fill our water glasses, and now he's actually running to save us from dehydration." My friend, we are in fact thinking, "What an %%%hole. He screws around for a half an hour and now he expects us to be impressed by his lame attempt at conveying a sense of promptness. What an %%%hole." 3) You stink. Seriously, dude . . . you're a waiter. Bathe. Your armpits reek like a hog's scrotum stuffed with billy goat jizz. We gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed that the summer heat was to blame. Nope, you're just nasty. In closing, I would also like to offer this: change is still money. If my bill comes to $4.32 (it was $4 burger day) and I hand you 18 quarters, you either act like those are the best %%%%ing quarters you've ever seen, or say nothing. Turning your nose up only makes us want to kick your ass *that* much more. Interesting that a person who's willing to shortchange his customers is so offended by a small stack of change. What, you're offended by coins that you haven't stolen? Mark my words: You have received your last 27% tip from me, jagoff. Have a nice day, -Landry P.S. If you happen to see that sorta' pretty, dark-skinned chick that was sitting behind me at lunch, tell her to watch what she says and how loud she says it. I now know that: 1) She's a whore 2) Her apartment doesn't lock 3) She's a heavy sleeper who leaves the TV on when she snoozes 4) Someone broke in over the weekend and took her stuff while she slept (i.e. I should break in next month, after she's replaced everything with nice, new stuff) 5) Her boyfriend is either still in high school or is a grown man that is so insecure that he can't let his girlfriend go to lunch with her co-workers without calling her and checking up. I'm going to guess that he was wondering if "that guy <insert guy's name here> is there, and if so, is he sitting beside her? Well, is he?" So, you know, kind of tell her to tone it down with the personal stuff . . . if you can get your BO'd self close enough to her without getting puked on.

I heard him rev it up, it started to move an inch or two, and he lit 'em up. A sound so intense you could feel it in your bones.
