It's spring, so folks are servicing their lawn mowers, roto-tillers, etc. You'd be amazed at how many exhanges go exatly like this:<br /><br />Customer: I need an air filter for my Honda mower.<br /><br />Me: What model?<br /><br />Customer: I don't know.<br /><br />Me: Do you know what the filter looks like?

These things don't happen to normal people. They don't happen to people who don't make fun of Rush, or call for (ex-)President Bush to be tried for his crimes. They don't happen to most right-wing Republicans, another of your occasional targets. These things only happen to you.<br /><br />God hates you, my friend, and you better change your ways. These are signs of your personal apocalypse, and you will never be called to the Kingdom unless you repent. God is talking to you, my boy, and you better take notice!<br /><br />Or...<br /><br />The best you can do when these things happen is to have already prepared. Don't have to rush, don't need to do something at the last minute. Then, when these things inevitably happen, you can let them roll off you like water off a duck's back. 'Tis much better to be mello than to be so full of uptightnessity. Chill, dude!<br /><br />Or...<br /><br />Wendy, the other day an old guy (you know, about my age) and his girl sat right behind me on the train. He proceeded to put his feet/knees on the back of my seat and pushed/kicked/tapped. I got up, looked at him, moved to the seat behind him, and did the same such stuff to him. He turned around, looked at me, opened his mouth... Then he closed it and turned back around. I think that was the very first time in his life he realized what he'd been doing to others all his life.<br /><br />It was a proud, almost parental moment for me.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273212686600552771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-40128689471538403682009-04-23T11:00:00.000-05:002009-04-23T11:00:00.000-05:00Oh, public transportation...I saw many ass-chapper...Oh, public transportation...I saw many ass-chappers on the way in today, let's see now, where to start - <br /><br />First there are the people who think the bus/train is their bathroom. And I don't mean just the vagrants that DO use it as bathroom, which is bad enough. I mean the folks that shave, tweeze, apply makeup, insert contacts, brush their teeth with those toothpaste pads, whiten their teeth, change diapers, and apply lotion or perfume. Do you have any idea how nasty the vehicles and stations are and how many germs you’re spreading/picking up and smearing all over your body? EEEEEWWW. Get dressed and primped BEFORE you leave your fucking house. I really have no desire to see you tweeze your nose hairs. NO, I DON'T!!<br /><br />OH, and on the subject of getting dressed...THAT INCLUDED PANTIES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE WEARING A DRESS!!! And pants that cover your ass. I do not want to see your crack and the butt floss you're wearing ain't getting it.<br /><br />Next we have the loud talkers. On their cell phones. Who think because they can't hear the person on the other end they should SHOUT into the phone. And my ears. Ouch. Again, I really don't need to hear about your latest bout of crotch rot at 120 decibels. NO, I DON'T! Oh, and the cussin' that goes with oh so much of it...<br /><br />Then there are the backpacks, tote bags, purses that would be declared too big to carry on a plane, laptop bags, roll-ons, wheelie bags. Now, just to be clear, I travel every day on transit and I do carry a tote bag with the essentials and occasionally a small wheeled suitcase if I'm shopping. But I am very aware at all times of just exactly how much I'm toting and how much space me and my stuff are taking up. The rest of you, GET A CLUE!!! I like my toes. And when you get up, do NOT assume there is enough room around you to swing that bag in a full arc onto your shoulder or back. I also like my eyes and nose where they are and without bruises. And don't be pissed when the two-ton whatever hits me and I shove back. OUCH, that left a mark and it HURT. <br /><br />Now, you want to get off the train and I'm in the aisle seat? Well, standing up and shoving don't get it, bitch. I don't care who you are, where you came from, or how you do it in Tokyo or wherever, here we have something called MANNERS. Which your parents should have taught you. Please, thank you, excuse me have NOT been taken out of the English language. What's more, I will not get up to let you out before the train stops, (it's a balance thing and if I hit the floor your way will well and truly be blocked) and I am happy to politely tell you that when you ask to get by. Shoving will not help in that case either. <br /><br />There are many others...but I've sufficiently ruined everyone's lunch by now...<br /><br />More later, if I can stomach it...<br /><br />WendyB_09WendyB_09https://www.blogger.com/profile/03788918629240949526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-36736753964836786392009-04-23T08:40:00.000-05:002009-04-23T08:40:00.000-05:00"… that they only clean the public restrooms when ..."… that they only clean the public restrooms when you’ve really got to take a piss?"<br /><br />People who clean restrooms at commuter train stations during the evening rush hour should be forced to clean them with their tongues.<br /><br />"… that your nose only itches when you’re cleaning the catbox?"<br /><br />It's the dust.

Flashing the "please let me pass" lights and eventually tailgaiting seem to do nothing, but when you finally get a passing lane that's when they decide to speed up 'cause they're pissed that you passed them. <br /><br />And one's wife is totally responsible for the ass-crack vision block and the farting. They re-program a husband's personal reality while he sleeps to keep us from being attractive to other women. It has nothing to do with our getting older and failing to exercise regularly, honest. It goes along with their radar which is *infallable* for noticing personal faults like dealing with profoundly irritating nasal blockage *grin*mensleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-55403417708112559102009-04-22T19:13:00.000-05:002009-04-22T19:13:00.000-05:00I hate it when I put up a post that I think has th...I hate it when I put up a post that I think has the solutions to all of mankind's problems...past, present and future...and 30 people show up to tell me I'm a lame idiot.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-46406414168831378042009-04-22T18:14:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:14:00.000-05:00Well, personally I like your sketches a lot, Scott...Well, personally I like your sketches a lot, Scott.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-22792310574148338052009-04-22T18:13:00.000-05:002009-04-22T18:13:00.000-05:00I don't notice.

Unless they comment, I've no idea that people have even seen the posts I make, much less read them.<br /><br />(But then, it's a lot easier to leave the crappier sketches in the sketchbook.
