Tuesday night, just before heading off to bed, I went to close the garage door. A typical nightly ritual, the "Closing Of The Door". The last sign of life from Casa Wichi before we roll up the sidewalks (kinda funny since we don't HAVE any sidewalks).
And this was anything but funny.
Having ridden a motorcycle before, I tend to pay attention to fellow riders. Road courtesy and respect, that sort of thing. Come Spring, I tend to be even MORE attentive for riders.
Bogie posted on the new ride she got. Riders are out there. LOOK for them. One of them may even be a friend or relative.
And when you're looking...
KK. I mentioned I would come back to Freak #2. Well, here I is.
The other night, I was out in the garage...minding my own business, of course. When I heard this noise...
A friend wrote to me not too long ago and mentioned wanting someone to give them hugs. Not a relationship, just a regular source of hugs.
And that reminded me of a person from years ago. That is why the category is both "ponderings" and "weird".
And I'm sure you might not, so I'm here to tell you. Catchy start, isn't it?
I was having problems with the printer yesterday. Printed an e-mail and the letterhead came out all wonky. So, I did a test print and it came out all wonky as well. Oh-kaaay. Time to change the print cartridge.
Or, should I say, intestinal combustion?
The paper carried a story about $300,000 worth of smoked stools. That is 250 toasted toilets that went up in smoke. From "porta-potties" to "pyrotechnic-potties".
They ruled out "Act-of-God" pretty quickly. Seems plastic doesn't attract lightning very well. But it's not sitting well with the owners that now have to replace the melted muckers.
The investigators are going with the theory that it was arson. Seems a section of fencing was removed for construction reasons and that allowed easy access to the companies assets.
Just goes to prove, glass houses or not, you have to be careful when you stow thrones.
"Brick houses are better" happens.
I fire off a flare and the silly things came back. The post didn't even have time to cool off and "BLAM", they were there.
They're either messing with me, or I have them well trained.
Care to comment?
Weird happens.
It seems to have disappeared. I can see the post I did for the last couple days "internally" But they are gone. Not showing up on the site when I try to bring them up. I know they are still out there somewhere.
If anyone finds them...please send them home. They are missed.
Abandonment happens.
Quoth the Raven. Funny, I really don't have an appropriate category to put this one in except "Weird".
Dudette called from work the other night to tell me she was on the way home. That is my cue to start her much needed ( believe me, I don't mess around with her before she gets her...) coffee. It isn't all that hard. It's a one cup machine and quick to set up.
So, in no time, the maker was making all the rude noises they are prone to, and the house was filling up with the wonderful aroma of fresh brewed.
And the phone rings,
By the time you finish reading this, you will probably wonder why I posted it under weird. It's there because it fits best.
A person Dudette knows through work was visiting New York on business recently. This lady does this on a regular basis. This time she told Dudette how she got to be a guest of the NYPD for an hour and a half.
On her latest expedition, when leaving wherever it is she goes, instead of turning one way, she turned the other. She has been there many times and decided to go sightseeing. After driving around for a while, she found a nice looking little bar and stopped in.
I'm a little late in getting this one out. I read this in Friday's newspaper and had to read it more than once.
This man was initially charged with second-degree murder. Instead, HE pleaded no contest to murdering his common-law wife, a greater charge.
Headline of the local paper, "Voters May Rule On Gay Unions".
"Gay Unions?" They want to Unionize?
Without even reading the article, I found this to be laughable. A vote will be taken to determine Gay Unions. Like they are going to go on strike for better, WHAT?
My weird and humorous mind went into overdrive coming up with many NON-PC possibilities. I would take the time to put some of my thoughts down but I am afraid I would offend some of my friends and family.
Not to mention being tarred with KY and feathered with boas.
Parting thought, what would they call this Union? Think about it.
Silliness happens.
I was checking out the Encyclopedia Mythica and ran across the description of what a bogie is.
I don't know if this would be concidered complimentary, or not to Bogie . I guess you'll have to read it and decide for yourself. It is worth reading.
I think billy should be able to do 500 - 1000 words on this one without trying.
A lot of interesting articles on this site. It is definetly worth checking out. Especially if you enjoy mythology and folklore.
Late last night, as I was shutting things down in my office, before going to bed, my cell phone rang. Kinda late for anyone I knew to be calling. And I didn't recognize the number.
"Hello?"
"Hello...(a female voice with a very heavy accent), Joe?"
"No, ma'm."
"Is Joe there?"
"No, ma'm. Nobody named Joe at this number."
"Joe's not there?"
"No, ma'm. What number are you calling?"
"Umm, 00-1-XXX-XXX-XXXX-1"
"Well, except for the last number, that is the number you called."
"Is this in Holland?"
"No, ma'm. This is the U.S."
"The U.S.?"
"Yes, ma'm."
"I'm sorry to disturb you."
"No problem."
Click.
My first INTER-CONTINENTAL wrong number. On a cell phone, no less. Now that's a first.
