Wednesday's Digressions



  • Was behind a lady in a black Suburban nearly all the way home yesterday and I just nearly called 911 on her as she was all over the road I noticed after she nearly clipped me while I waited in a turn lane in town. Her speed would vary from 45-75 mph in a 55 mph zone. Drunk or hitting the crack pipe after dropping her kids off at dance class or whatever? No, she was on the cell phone- she was behind me tailgating me all the way in early this morning and driving just as badly.

  • While chatting just as merrily and obliviously on her pink phone.

  • Saw a woman beside a delivery truck parked at a local convenience store take a puff off a smoke and then do about the only thing grosser I can think of- with the cigarette in her mouth she hooked her index finger around the filter and buried it in her nose up to the first knuckle and began digging for green gold.

  • Keep it classy baby.

  • Recently at a store three guys including myself busted each other ogling some smoking hot scantily dressed woman and then got a good laugh at ourselves and each other.

  • They never would have had a chance.

  • Ha

  • Met the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life recently- nothing to it just met her but, yeah can't think of a more beautiful woman I've ever seen in my whole life. It's cool although she no longer lives here she was born and raised just 30 miles from where I live.

  • Recently offered condolences to a friend whose marriage has ended. He said something like,"Oh well, it was a long time coming- I'm glad it's over." That was kind of sad to hear but, undoubtedly just simple truth. His teenage daughter looked like the weight of the world had been removed from her shoulders. I've known them for a few years and only in the midst of the divorce news did I learn she had been married either 4 or 5 times.
  • Nearly bought a boomerang this morning (something I've promised myself to learn) but, went with a Frisbee instead.
  • Since I can no longer play softball or tennis and couldn't even kid myself about football I guess Frisbee is the only sport besides bicycling I've carried all my life into adulthood.
  • Good God, I've been doing both over 40 years.
  • I was in a positively buoyant mood when I started this post- now look at what you've done to me.

Maybe you could take up frisbee golf. I hear there's a group that plays out at Lake Weatherford.

I have some road rage myself today.... people that STAY in the left lane while the RIGHT lane is passing them! People that need to merge with a highway that is going 70 and they are on the ramp going 45... AAAARGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!

As to the frisbee and boomerang thing... lol wait until a really windy day... you KNOW it won't be a long wait.. anyway just throw that sucker into the wind and it will come RIGHT BACK.. you can pretend it is a boomerang! LOL

It that shopping trolley (as we call them) book for real? lol

Its an on the spot £50 ($100) or so fine here of caught on ones mobile phone whilst driving.... no ifs or buts, instant fine..

I think a little bit of sick came up with your description of the nose digging woman.....ewwwwww and Ive lived with boys but that still grosses me out..

lol@they owuld never of had a chance..... you go chupa :) you have to know your worth lol

You met the most beautiful woman, now you can draw her face on your pillow to snuggle up to at night LOL

cripes at being married 4 or 5 times, surely thats a no goer... but I might be wrong, and shouldnt judge....

why no softball (whatever that is) or tennis or football (soccer) you aint that old :) and ya certainly dont seem over 40???

My Uncle before he snuffed it sent all me lads a few years back real proper Australian boomerangs (he lived in Aussieland) and each and every one of them we have lost, where they didnt come back, no matter how hard or loud we called them....... so, good luck with that, and learn to DUCK :)

say positive and buoyant and upbeat and keep ya pecker up matie...

Chupa-- last thing you commented on
me blog went --
"You scare me sometimes esse'
I'm afraid one day 'the powers that be' will read a post such as this and take it to heart."

Dude now YOU SCARE ME, you can turn me into Big BROther. Well I could use the time in the reprogramming camps to catch up on some reading.

Mango -- thats like crazy man. One doesn't reach our age without survival skills. Chicks dig a man with skills. I want to be a butcher.

el chupacabra said...

mad mango- gotcha- thanks. and i bet your exactly right.

opie- thanks dear-ie. pretty great yourself.

my queen- hard to imagine how/why that can work- but, it does. i personally know someone on their 11th marriage (2 i believe to same person)they seem happy as clams and by all accounts will be together 'til death...

g- dont get me started on the passing lane thing. aaaaaaahr!! #$%& and @#%$&. too late, you got me started.

marmsie- a weird association with the "most beautiful woman in the world" thing. i was visiting with a patients family recently when she mentioned she and her husband were neighbors when he was 16 or 17 and she 10 or 11 and (thought he was the greatest... etc etc) both families moved but 25 years later those two met up again and got married. that girl was the first person i thought of when hearing that story. good grief- i dont want to wait 25 years though!!!

sharky- love your posts. learn a lot every time. i hear the only approved works stockpiled for the camps are nietche,ghandi,marx,alinski AFTER you pass proficieny exams in all of BHOs collected works!

MarmiteToasty said...

Cripes at 25 years... I dont have 25 more years to wait LOL

11th marriage, bloody hell... good grief...... I would love to be married once more before I snuff it, just to see what it would be like to be loved proper...

the suburban lady needs an ear piece. Dang.

I would've loved to catch all you guys staring at that lady. The thought makes me smile.
