I'm really sorry.

*hug*

I'm so sorry, Sarah.

[Lief Erikson]

Is that our chocolate-grubbing friend's name?

I would but I really need this job

Okay, I dont know why I didnt post this earlier, but I figure I need to get it out. I was the closest I've ever come to being a victim of road-rage this weekend. Thursday actually. This idiot cuts me off, then prceeds to plug me every chance he gets, his bud flicks me off, and he tricks me into almost getting my front bumper taken off. So I finally get around him, and as I do I hang a casual bird out the window at the redneck hero, and get a blast from his horn. 1 mile down the road I stop at a red-light, still fuming, and the wonder-dummy pulls up to my right. My radio is blasting, s I cant really hear what the dude is saying, and I make it amply clear I dont care, so he steps out of his army-truck-wannabe and makes his way over to me. He tries to push me against my car and I abruptly break his nose, help him to his car, and drive away. I have never thought more certainly I was going to be shot.

I had someone run a red light almost taking off the front end of my car and the passenger preceeded to give me the bird. ****ING IDIOT! Oh, sorry.

Nauti... What kind of weirdo was that!?!?

Redneck that want's to show how tough he is

To which he responds, "I'm your manager, now move, and let me get this done right."

Last I saw him, they were taking him to the hospital, threw his itty-bitty-manager back out.

Karma's a bitch, man! hehe

I'm impossible.

EDIT: Then again, with a sunrise like this, it's hard to stay indoors.

oooo! Pretty!

Ouch, but on the bright side; you are superman.

We won the paintball tournament the other day, but in the most pathetic way possible. The other teams started to play dirty and cheat, not to mention hide and send the minimal amount of players onto the actual field. It was the most borning and frustrating game ever.

That's when you go sniper on their asses.

I guess so

[Mari]

I've heard that word several times now, but what exactly IS a 'redneck'? I'm assuming they aren't people who look red

It means "country dweller, farmer" and comes from people who have sunburn on the back of their necks from long hours in the fields. They're commonly stereotyped as being socially conservative and not really bright. Like many stereotypical terms it has been somewhat embraced by people who might fall into that category as an emblem of pride. Hence country songs like 'Redneck woman" which celebrate that culture.

[Nautipus]

Usually, around here, we call someone that who likes to emulate the original culture that the name comes from, but has no experience doing any of the actual work. Cowboy posers, hunters who get drunk every weekend and never actually fire a gun, and they generally are the ones who think having an education is stupid and everyone should revert to shop classes.

Some fail those.

[Mari]

Ah, thanks ^_^
So it's different from 'farmboy'. *nods* I see.
I thought it was something like Hells Angels or similar.

[Earniel]

Thanks for the sympathy, guys.

I don't think the other cats noticed much of Jinx's absence. Smaug only sees him occassionally when he comes upstairs, and she hasn't seen him at all since he fell sick. And Chefren... well, I'm not sure Chefren even remembers five minutes ago...

As for us, well, we knew it was coming. Still, having a cat that long is a habit that's hard to break. I still tend to check where Jinx is when I go to bed.

[hectorberlioz]

Yesterday one of our kittens, which was recovering from a broken leg, made it outside where our new (and ugly, hideous, evil) dog was running loose. When I drove up the driveway, I looked to my right and saw the dog on the lawn with the cat in its jaws chewing her up. I parked as fast as I could and leaped out the car and started beating the dog to get the cat out of its mouth.

Alas, I was too late. The cat died within thirty minutes.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Vile brute.

[Nautipus]

Something similar happend here, 'cept it wasnt our dog. Threw his a$$ into his own yard.

Sorry, Hec.

[hectorberlioz]

Brute is right. I'm going to make sure we get rid of this dog somehow.

At least the sister kitten is still with us. But she doesn't have a healing leg to cripple her in a fight. Quite fiesty, this one is.

Here's the deceased cat a few weeks ago:

[Mari]

Poor thing.

Earniel, another *hug*

[Earniel]

Man, that sucks, Hector. Looked like such a pretty kitten too.

[Lief Erikson]

Poor cat .

[The last sane person]

Poor kitten!


...Do you own any low caliber weapons of any sort Hector? a .22 would do wonders for that dog.

*hugs for Hector and also for Earniel*

[Tessar]

So I'm waiting to hear back from WalMarts about a job. Probably as a cart-pusher. The lady said she'd call me back in 30 minutes...

and now, one hour later.... still waiting.


Oh well. You do what you gotta do. I'm sure it will be good for my inflated ego if I do get the job . Nothing to remind you that you are not the center of the universe like picking up carts after people and, I can only assume, probably cleaning up after the baby in row 5 and cleaning the bathrooms. :P

In fact, we do. But I'm not going to use it as a first option. I've definitely put it on my list of options, though.
