Appraisals, since its slow



Ya know, along similar lines I had my ego appraised once.  We found
out it was much too expensive to own or repair (for me or anyone else)
so I had to let it go.

It kinda sucked though because pride went with it.

In other news I get to spend the week of thanksgiving in Invermere,
BC.  I heard that was the center of the universe for all things
scirocco, I see it unsurping Cincinnati in the years to come as a
meeting place, for all things Scirocco.  Ok not really but I had to
work some CONTENT in there somewhere.  It's ok Daun, breathe...
Actually I think it's the center of the universe for BFE.

"Tell him what he's won Bob!!!"  He's won an all day trip to Calgary
sitting between 300+ pounds (each) Jehova's Witnesses, that are going
to tell him in excruciating detail all day how he is going to hell!
But that's not all!  When he gets to Calgary he gets to spend 4 fun
filled hours with border patrol explaining that he's really not taking
jobs away from Canadians (eh?) by inspecting a power panel and
providiing training.  And finally when he's finished with the cavity
search he gets to drive 3-4 hours to sunny BFE!

That's what usually happens on my travels.

I had an interesting one the other week.  I had a fat guy on one side
and a smelly guy on the other.  It smelled like the guy soiled
himself.  It wasn't gas it was pretty consistant.  The heavyset
gentleman who was wedged in the seat, conforming like silly putty to
the wall and window of airplane, was very warm and sweaty, so I was
forced to surrender personal space (the plane was absolutely full) and
attempt to lean away from the smelly guy. Needless to say I drank
heavily on that flight (cross country with Delta--we loves us some
flyin' and it be showin'...) and burned my clothes afterwards which
were damp from fatguy sweat on one side and smelled vaguely of shit on
the other.

Now that 3/4's of the list is going wtf is this guy talking about... I
will close with 4am posts should be banned.

Smoochies
