Here, at the first sign of flurries, every redneck in town goes straight out and buys all of the milk and bread they can find like it's a blizzard.

On an unrelated note, after this weekend of midnight shifts, I have compiled a complete guest list for Jerry Springer that should last him until he retires.


Scraping the bottom of the barrel this week are we? Isn't that the fun of midnight shift? A more interesting "mix" of people?

Snow, yeah...people turn into retards when the weather changes and forget how to drive in it. Even places that get a lot of snow struggle with stupid drivers. Around here, people manage to wreck when it rains, too.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel is an understatement. I've dealt with people all weekend that have proven just how many family trees there actually are that don't branch.

They are retards here anyways....the weather has nothing to do with it. In fact, calling these dinks retards is an insult to retards. Most of them can't drive on dry pavement. I had a 70 year old woman pull out of Wal Mart recently and proceed to do a u-turn, drive up an embankment, hit a retaining wall, and the engine on her mini-van caught on fire. When I got there, she was trying to get it started again while the flames shot out of the cowl panel and melted her windshield wipers to the glass but she still couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start. Now she drives a scooter. Great...just what I needed. She can't manage to keep four wheels under control but now she's zipping all over town on this two-wheeled Asian turd without a helmet putting her groceries in a milk crate she's strapped on the back of it.

I'm sorry, this probably isn't supposed to be funny, but it has me laughing pretty good.

This is why it should be legal to shoot paintball guns in urban areas. Well.... give her a helmet & football pads first, then blaze away!!

I think Sheldon has a quote for this already....


Good morning everyone.
Off to the dentist again. Been in everyday since Thursday, including Sat and Sun.. I'm getting quite the tolerance for pain... He just keeps saying I'm not healing right...great. If I have to eat mashed taters and milkshakes for one more day I'm gonna lose it...

Have a good day guys.

Have fun bro! My last visit meant I had to visit the oral surgeon THAT SAME DAY. Had a molar yanked out... literally. The little lady doctor pretty much got up on the chair, lower leg across the top of my chest, and TUGGED. pretty funny actually. And the receptionist was HOT!!!

They were like "That didn't bother you?"... Ummmm, no. Should it have? They just shook their heads while I paid my bill and went home for the day. Good times....

Good morning all, no work today because of the weather

lol. Since you know how to look for it. But would you have seen it if you didn't know what it was? There was a thought process behind that brown butt.



Hey, if that's the case why haven't I seen any of this money?
Hope you feel better soon.

I seem to have picked up some kind of bug or something, sore throat, cough, body aches and a slight fever. I HATE getting sick, NEVER got sick before I had kids, NEVER. Now, the little germ carriers are in school and daycare with other kids who are sick and shouldn't be there and bring it home to share with everyone.

Hope you get it figured out Brent, mashed taters and milkshakes would get old after a very short time.

You can send as much as you want my way, and keep sending it. I could use the $65 an hr they pay me to push it around.

Chamois BUTT'r is the number one choice for cyclists who use a skin lubricant and chamois cream to improve riding comfort.
Chamois BUTT'r prevents the uncomfortable rubbing and chafing that most cyclists experience when sitting on their saddle. Why put up with discomfort? Use Chamois BUTT'r.

Chamois BUTT'r is a non-greasy skin lubricant that improves riding comfort. It washes off your skin and out of your shorts easily with soap and water! It leaves your skin feeling better after you use it.

To apply Chamois BUTT'r: Put 1/6 to 1/3 ounce of Chamois BUTT'r on your skin, or on the pad of your shorts (before you put your shorts on). It's your preference, the Chamois BUTT'r ends up in the same place either way.

Riders who try it love it! We get calls all the time from satisfied customers who say, THEY GOTTA HAVE THEIR CHAMOIS BUTT'r !

Chamois BUTT'r was Rated 4 Stars by BICYCLING Magazine
