the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

all i'm saying is this...if you think you see a bowl of tapioca pudding sitting on a table somewhere...don't eat it

[Rome]

DMF should be given the assignment of carrying the nuclear football.  Imagine the hijinks that would ensue!

[Butchers Bill]

WTF is wrong with people??  This was the nicest guy...three miles from my house and he pumped my gas three nights ago.

So yesterday was a banner day for me.  It started out with my first mission at 0500, I drank another man's piss.  He left a piss bottle in my turret from the day before and it just so happened to be a gatorade bottle and mine was sitting right next to it.  At least I didn't swallow it. 

Then we had a mission lastnight and I thought that I was about to die.  There was a light inside my turret that fell and hit me in the leg and banged around the floor.  It looked and felt like a grenade.  My gunner: "WTF was that?" Me: "I don't know, but it is right next to my foot."  That was the longest 3 seconds of my life.

wow and wow 

[Phanatic]

Be sure to piss on the guy who left the bottle there for you while he's sleeping. Stay safe!

Hard to get mad at a guy that has saved me from getting blown up on at least 10 occasions.  Plus he did nothing but apologize all day.

[General_Failure]

So he's saved you from ten falling lamps now? You owe that man a beer.

That sucks. It's still stupid for NJ to require pump jockeys to do that job.

I wish, they were only falling lamps.

... NJ to require pump jockeys to do that job.

Backing up a bit here...I've never understood why this is the law in NJ?  Can anyone explain?

I'm not sure if this is the reasoning behind it or not, but they say that getting in and out of your car causes static build up which could lead to an exploding gas pump.  And people using cell phones while at the pump could also cause an explosion.  And some people with aids like taking thumbtacks with their aids blood on the tip and taping them to the handles of gas pumps so when an unsuspecting motorist stop to fill up they grab the pump and get some high octane death virus injected into their bloodstream. 

Basically I think it's just a matter of safety.

The whole Cellphone one is not real, static electricity buildup is awesome, and 90% of the time its a woman who burns the gas station down. 

[Geowhizzer]

Not to mention that NJ has had that law since I was a kid, long before cell phones were common.

NJ guy to sail to England in a 36 foot sailboat

This guy was my neighbor when I lived in NJ, and is still a close friend of my extended family.  He's a real character, and obviously, a real adventure-whore.

Webster said the boat will be taken for a test sail in the next few weeks in preparation for an early June departure. He estimates the journey will take about 4,000 miles including 2,200 from here to the Azores (average daily sail: 100 miles), 1,200 miles to Southern Ireland, and the last 500 miles to the United Kingdom. Total sailing time will require about two months.

Even before sailing to his homeland, Webster, 62, has proven to be a bit of an adventurer. He is an avid motorcyclist. He and Nancy were on an African safari last year. And he recently spent nine weeks in Mexico "learning to speak the language."

That would also be long before cars were common.
