You may appreciate this: My mom was in a wheelchair for about five years and it always pissed me off when people failed to clear snow, ice or whatever else off the sidewalks in front of their house, making it impassable for anyone in a wheelchair. Even now, I'm a total stickler for keeping our front sidewalk clear. And I give stink eye to our neighbor's when they don't.
ReplyDeleteAlso, some beers are snacks.
Way to go Grant! Keep giving them hell... And, I drink dark beers like Guinness, so I get a bit of fiber I guess.
ReplyDeleteyou double dip? Holy SHIT!
ReplyDeleteBeer isn't a snack. It's a fucking sacrament.
ReplyDeleteHey, who says fucking swearing is a goddamned bad habit?
ReplyDeleteIn my years before beginning work as a teacher, I had worked in the restaurant business and as a construction worker. I imagine the only place you swear more is in the Navy. All of a sudden, I had to curb the swearing. It wasn't easy.
Styx played at my high school frequently up until their big break, in '77 or so. I love Suite: Madame Blue!
I started playing guitar around the same time, '77 or so. I took guitar lessons at a guitar store in Lagrange, Illinois. There was a friendly hippie-type guy nicknamed J.C. who gave lessons there (I took lessons with another guy). I found out eventually that J.C. was John Curulewski, the former guitar-player for Styx. He left right before they met huge success (Tommy Shaw was his replacement) to spend time with his family.
I'm snacking on beer right now...does that make you moan?
ReplyDeleteTeri: Not only that, sometimes I just lick the dip right out of the bowl!
ReplyDeleteKirby: I am a recovering Catholic. I don't think I ever saw fucking and sacrament in the same sentence. You are my hero.
JY: The Navy did tend to pepper my language with colorful colloquialisms. I can't imagine how JC felt when Styx made it big, what a bummer!
Dirty: OOooohhhhhh!
You can cuss all you want but don't bring back the god-damned fucking fanny pack!
ReplyDeleteYou go commando? I would have never guessed.
Oh, and in regards to Question #4, can I be your new best friend?
ReplyDeleteIt's wrong NOT to double-dip. Otherwise the chips are not reaching their full potential.
ReplyDeleteSwearing may be a bad habit, but it's one I'll never be able to break. People drive me to it.
That and I really like doing it.
Beer can be a snack if wine can be. We won't tell anyone.
GKL: No worries, the fanny pack is fuckin retired. And as far as commando, since I was about 22.
ReplyDeleteGKL2: You already are my dear!
Ellen: I like the excuse of chips not reaching their full potential. Sounds like I am making some sort of small difference in their otherwise short, dreary lives.
