    I'm riding home last night from work and an old woman has just cut me off...I'm in the slow lane of the 5 freeway at 1 AM in the morning. I think this person in this Mercedes has probably had a few drinks, so I detour way around her and there she is with that !#$^$! cell phone to her ear...She doesn't even know what she did and probably could care less...Does Direct Parts sell a 40mm cannon I could push a button and take care of problems like this? I bet it would be a hot selling item...and if we all got one, there would be less traffic...

    Just venting...

    I feel ya ZZ. Here in the Austin area, same song -n-dance. Hard enough watching out for the regular in-capables in the cage, but then you experience the ones that can't manage to talk on the phone and steer at the same time.....not to mention the stupid broads putting their makeup on in the morning with the rear view......JEEZ that p*sses me off!!:mad: :mad:

    It's all major cities. Las Vegas has so many people from not only all over the US, but the whole world..everyone of them has a different style and culture. After 3 years here..I can't believe I still ride around town. Just keep an eye out for vehicles make a left in front of you!


    My first MOS in the Army was weapons repair for attack Cobra helicopters. They had a 40mm cannon gatling-gun that could really be fun. :cool:

    I came up along side one of those make-up artist in the morning a few weeks back and yelled at her to pay attention to the road. :rolleyes: Her answer back was GO F87K yourself. :rolleyes: Oh well, wish the cops would give out tickets for that.
    You know what really pis54s you off is this: These dame women spend hours making themselves up to look knock out gorgeous and when you look at them many of them get pis&^d off, so why bother. :confused:

    Thanks for letting me vent...

    I liked the one about the 40 mm gattling gun the best...
    I'm at work now and will be heading home at the same time tonight...
    I'll be on the look out for the old hag with an ugly head growing out of her cell phone...smile...

    What's even worse FL is when you happen to get one of them home. When yall wake up the next morning, she doesn't even look half as good as she did when you met her... Kinda scary...

    Not just in the city.....

    Met a 4x4 last night. I was running along about 70 in a 55, and meet this car coming, then all of a sudden, the 4x4 passes. He was running about 80-90, and I had to go to the white line to miss him. He was talking on the phone as he went by, like nothing was wrong at all. If I'd stayed in the left tire track where I was, I'd have hit him head on......

    Paybacks a Bitch!!!

    Hard to resist turning around, following him and when he parks that big old 4X4 give 'em the ice pick in the tire sidewall gift.

    Speaking of paybacks, when I was stationed here at DM I worked with a slime ball, MSGT Kirk Asbury that would do what ever it took to make him look good. He would take credit for QA inspections he didn't do, create false problems them "find" then as safety issues all in order to be the "super QA inspector".

    Old Kirk boy stole one to many reports from me so I rigged a false one that he took credit for. Except the branch chief was in on it and reported him. He came out of the Quality Assurance OIC's office with a face so red he looked ready to explode. What he also didn't know is that the QA OIC and I were both pilots and flew at the aero club.....He was in on it to boot! :eek:
    The only problem for me was that he was my rating NCO and was more than happy to give me a lower rating than I deserved. Got it over turned since The OIC was the reviewing / approving officer and he did not concur.

    I had always had a saying that I told my troops. "Stick with me, give your best effort and I will support you to the end. F#$k me and I will be your worst nightmare." Kirk found out that applied to him when his 4X4 Ford's transfer box, tranny plug and front diff plugs all vibrated out one after another. I had already left for Germany so it couldn't be me...;)..or could it?:cool:

    looking good at the pub

    A friend of mine and I wrote this one night at O'Flareghty's in Nawlins:

    I met me a lass in the pub late last night
    I wasn't quite sober but she looked allright
    She sat on me lap and gazed in me eyes
    I patted her bottom and rubbed on her thighs

    She said "let's go to my place
    it's not very far"
    And that suited me for I hadn't a car

    We sat on her sofa we cuddled and necked
    She said let's get more comfy
    I said what the heck

    I took off me shirt and me boots and me hat
    She took off her girdle and out rolled the fat
    Her support body stocking came off by the mile
    Her wig and her dentures they soon joined the pile

    Her Contacts were tinted
    Her bosoms were foam
    So I got meself dressed and I went on back home

    Now gents let this be a lesson
    One ya shouldn't forget
    What ya see in the package
    May not be what ya get.......

    feel your anger

    Don't ya just hate that. Usually when I see someone going slow or weaving around they always have that dam cell in their ear. I don't get it I can drive just fine and talk on the phone. I like your 40mm idea.

    Irish pub ditty


    There was an Irish pub song that was popular at O'Flarity's in New Orleans that addresses that issue:
    "I met me a lass in the pub late last night
    I know I'd been drinkin' but she looked quite allright
    She sat on my lap and she gazed in me eyes
    She kissed on my chest and I rubbed on her thighs

    She said let's go to my place, it's not very far
    I said that suited me for I hadn't a car
    We sat on her sofa we cuddled and necked
    She said "let's get more comfy" And I thought what the heck!

    I took off me shoes and me shirt and me hat
    she let loose the girdle and out rolled the fat
    Her support body stocking came off by the mile
    her wig and her dentures they soon joined the pile

    Her contacts were tinted, her bosom was foam.....
    so I grabbed up me things and I went my way home
    Now lad, let this be a lesson just so ya don't fret
    what ya see at the pub may not be what ya get......

    LMAO

    In Chicago you cant be on a cell phone while driving...even so, Ive still been cut off by alot of these self important types plenty of times, even with the earphone thing in....I enjoy making em roll the window up by hitting the throttle a couple of times. What sets me off even more is when your shopping & the tard in front of you in line shops, checks out, goes to the car & leaves, all without ever removing that f'n thing from their head...makes me wanna smack some sense into em.

    I can`t even count the number of people I see at shift change here at the factory that have their cell phone glued to their ear as soon as they leave the building, and they are still yakking away while driving out the gates. Me, I only use my cell phone when I really need to, usually when I`m on a road trip & I call someone I know so I can ask how lost I am.
