the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

I have a fantasy that goes along the lines of, I see one of these douchebages blowing through traffic, tailgaiting, jumping lanes, and I get to see them wipe out, crash, end over end, roll onto the wheels.  All kinds of farged up.  I pull over next to the wreck, get out the car, greet the driver by saying something tough like, burn in hell motherfarger, spit on the douchebag driver, go get back in my car and drive away, back to running my errands.

I was driving to the Poconos up 611 just south of Easton - twisty road following along the Delaware.  I was driving at least the speed limit, but on that road I was getting a bit uncomfortable.  I come upon a straight section, and this car whips by me like I'm standing still.  About a minute later, I go around a bend in the road and that same car is sitting in the middle of the road, on its roof, rotating slowly.  I almost plowed right into it.  He must have bounced off the stone wall "guard rail" and up the rock wall on the other side.  I stopped about a half mile down the road and called the cops.  They said they were already on the scene.  Guess he had a reason to be in a hurry.

Some years ago I used to live on a mountain side on the  NY/ Mass border. I had the same deal late one night coming home approaching the long curve just over the road's peak. It was snowing lightly with stiff winds and all the locals knew to go slow around that curve which was particularly treacherous in snow. Guess the kids in the car that zoomed by weren't locals. I went around the curve a minute after them,  in just enough time to see their car spin to a stop as it went into a ditch. The car that hit them was stopped already. They were pretty shook up and the other car was driveable so, since the wind chill was about 15 degrees, I gave the 3 teenagers a ride into town where they could make a call. I didn't mind so much as I thought of the amount of staggeringly stupid shtein I did at that age.


I lived close to that area on the mountainside and earlier that year, one night I heard a prop plane go right over my house. It sounded  really loud, low, and slow. Then I thought I heard this deep thud sound but wasn't sure so I turned off the stereo, opened the window and listened. Several seconds later I heard a coule of loud cracks that sounded like gun shots, but coming from the other direction maybe a mile or two away. Hard to tell with the echo. I thought it an odd set of events but didn't hear anything else for a couple of minutes so I shut the window and went back to the music. About 20 - 30 minutes later there's a knock on the door. I said to myself 'farg' as I open the door to see 2 state troopers, and another cruiser drive by on the road behind them. They asked if I heard or saw anything unusual so I told them the story.

Turns out if that businessman from Boston passed out 30 seconds earlier, good chance he would have hit my house instead of the mountainside. The trooper said when planes go down over wooded areas they sometimes bend or partly shear off tree tops that then snap from the weight, and it can sound like  gun shots.

[Father Demon]

I just got word of this this morning and figured I should pass it along, especially because I can't wait to see Dio's response to this.  The below link allows you to view your actual drivers license online.  Not only that, it allows you to view anyone's license simply by typing in their name.  So with a few simple clicks you can get a person's full name, address and phyical description along with their actual photo. 

Thanks alot Homeland Security!

I removed mine. You may want to do the same.

Click on the link and enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove".

Keep in mind though, this will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

[ice grillin you]

[Diomedes]

Well, I just got laid off from my job after 10 years with the company (the original company, plus the company that bought that one).  Merry farging Christmas, Richbo.

At least a) I get paid through Jan 4th, which extends my benefits through January 31st, and 2) I should get a nice healthy severance package.

I've been looking over my shoulder for 3 1/2 years, and I guess I forgot to duck this time.

[Diomedes]

I guess I should go sign up for Ghoulpool before you jack the rates ...

[ice grillin you]

go ahead and keep my fiver
