(Okay, time to write a Tuesday night. Hmm, how to begin.)
All – (Good, stock beginning, low commital.)
(Need some standard idle banter to get things rolling. Um… let’s try
this.)
So I went tubing this weekend. There is something satisfying about
buying beer at 9:30am and drinking one of them by 10am. I thought that
car insurance was a racket, but this has got it beat. Basically, to run
a tubing company you need:
1) Nearby water
2) Tubes
3) A beat-up bus
4) A few stoners to run the operation
5) A really good liability waiver
With these things you can make a killing.
One note about tubing, make sure there is sufficient water in the river.
Or barring that, make sure you have double the amount of beer you
thought you’d need.
(Not too shabby. Little humor. Universal appeal. Now for the report
from last week… oh, this’ll be good.)
So I wasn’t in town last week. I was in Kentucky. Outside of
Louisville to be exact, at Fort Knox. Things that I saw near Fort Knox:
* The Armored Acres Mobile Home Park
* Big Pink Jerry’s Liquour Beer
* Thorobred (sic) 3 and 4 – I make it a practice never to go to a strip
club where the women are compared to livestock
* A sign that read “Your car won’t start, your wife is ugly, your dog
has fleas, come here and buy beer” – you can’t make this stuff up
* One simple white concrete building that had a sign that said “beer”
* A similar building that had a sign that read “girls”
* Oddly, there was no third building that with a sign that read “beer
and girls”
* The only traffic jam I saw was due to the first night of the Kentucky
state fair
(On to the main rant… oh, shit, I don’t have a rant. Damn. I mean,
ranting about KY is as fair as kicking a blind cripple. Until Chandra
is found there isn’t much to write about there. I’m a little tired of
the whole social capital thing right now. I must be tired, I can’t
think of a damned thing to rant about… well, here’s a desperation
shot.)
I hate the trend in websites to add javascript that causes their windows
to popup in front of everyone elses. It just bad design and quite
annoying.
(Quickly, end the email and hope that no one has gotten this far.)
