This Guys Stopping for Every Pop Can Along the Road and It’s Your Fault!

I can understand times are tight and folks are out picking up any scrap metal that they can. The problem with this guy was that he was stopping in the middle of the road every time he spotted a pop can, then hopping out and grabbing it. Apparently he’s doing this under the guise of a person on a one-man litter crusade.

As you can see from his large bumper sticker, it’s all your fault. You’re a litterbug and he’s just cleaning up after you. To funny.

Sometimes Determination Doesn’t Pay Off

Police issue X26 TASER

Determination is usually a good thing, but sometimes prioritizing your goals is more important. In the case of the naked man tasered at Cincinnati, Ohio’s Flying Pig Race, I’d say keeping your pants on should have taken priority over finishing the race.

It is interesting that this guy let the threat of being tasered naked fall be trumped by finishing a race. Can a person get that motivated or was he just enjoying making a spectacle of himself? If he was enjoying the attention he was getting, then that took priority over the warnings from police. Most likely, he was to stupid to realize the threat. It’s a question to ponder, but I’m sure the police aren’t spending much time questioning their final decision on the matter.

I do question the use of a taser here though. Tasers were introduced as an alternative to lethal force by a gun. Now, they’re just used to stop a nuisance, like a naked runner, that isn’t a physical threat to anyone. I can’t decide who’s more sick and twisted, the runner or the police. Sure the runner was stupid, but if the police start tasering stupid people, they’re going to wear out the taser guns in a day. Think of this, if the tasers were being used to stop a threat, the other officers would have been forced to also taser the officer who was tasering the naked runner who was not a threat.

Green Hair.

I had to take a picture to be sure I wasn’t seeing things, but it’s confirmed. The lady had green hair and it wasn’t Saint Patrick’s Day. This wouldn’t be so odd on a punk rocker, but on a grown woman?

If you want to be a standout in a crowd, this is one way to make that happen.

Overgrown Skateboard Punk

The Ohio State University is full of some great young people. Yesterday as I drove through campus, most were outdoors.

 

Skateboard Punk At Ohio State University

OSU Skateboard Punk.

ROTC students were marching and running, groups were setting with books open on the oval, and others were going to and from class. It was a typical scene at OSU. Then, I had to dodge a group of skateboarders. Most can manage to enjoy their sport without any problem, but this group was using cars as their obstacles and they were running into pedestrians.

This skateboarder shown to the right was apparently trying to show off for his skateboarding boyfriends as they were the only ones paying much attention, and in the process of trying to use my van as a part of his stunts, crashed into the back of my van. I got out to check the situation and he jumps up screaming threats at me. He then took off running, still screaming threats and flipping the bird. Somehow, he’d found me at fault for wrecking his toy. I caught up with him and snapped a photo of him.

I thought that some folks might be interested in who he is. Ohio State University Police aren’t interested. They watched the entire event as they passed in the opposite direction. I thought others might want to know though.

  • If you park in the campus area and find mysterious dents that look like someone kicked your car, it’s this guy.
  • If you’ve lost a pair of odd looking pants it’s this guy. You’re probably about 2 sizes smaller than this guy as they don’t appear to be fitting him well.
  • If skateboarding gets banned on campus and you’re wondering who the few were that screwed it up for everyone, it’s this guy.
  • If you’re girlfriend leaves you for a snappy dresser with a hot set of wheels, it was NOT this guy.

I have no clue who he is, but apparently he’s going to muster the courage to kick my ass at some point. Maybe I’ll find out then. I’d like to know only because I find it amazing that a young person who’s made it to college has somehow missed the lesson that you shouldn’t play in the road with cars. How did he survive this long? I hope he didn’t miss lessons like “Stranger Danger”, “Just Say No”, and other important childhood lessons too.

Teen dances in the streets with his boom box

This young man came out of the “Life Skills” school and began dancing with his 70′s outfit and boom box. At first it was a little funny, then he began to dance in the traffic and it started clogging things up and people were throwing stuff at him.

I’m not sure what “Life Skill” they were teaching him, I never took the class myself.

Top Reason I Never Got a Tattoo. Misspellings.

 

LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 25:  A tattoo enth...

I don’t think anyone cares that I never got a tattoo, but some have been shocked when I told them that I don’t have any. I fit the mold I suppose -

  • Army Veteran
  • Truck Driver
  • Motorcyclist. We’ll leave it at that, I don’t consider myself a “biker”.

I almost did get a tattoo once. As me and a few Army buddies pulled into the lot to go into the tattoo parlor, I noticed something odd. “Customer Parking” was spelled “Custumer Parking”. I’m not a grammar and spelling fanatic. One could probably find errors all over this blog. When it comes to tattoos though, I want perfection. I passed on the tattoo.

I did get a kick out of this post of misspelled tattoos. I’ve embarrassed myself a few times when a tattoo owner shows off their tattoo and I let the question, “What is it?”, slip out. Many tattoos I’ve seen barely pass for anything recognizable, let alone something I would want to consider as “artwork”. I would really be embarrassed if I told them that it was misspelled.

We Call This a Capitulation!

There was a stock market training webinar going on that caught the excitement of the recent fake stock market crash. This is hilarious.I think the stock market is as fixed as professional sports. There are certain large groups of people that never really seem to get affected over the long term. It seems a dead give-away to me that this happens. I watch politicians leave office knowing exactly what to invest in. Financial news columns tend to always give really bad advice to buy right before a nosedive. I can’t think of anything more obvious. That makes this post even more amusing.

But I Shoot With This Hand

One of my favorite movies and one of my favorite scenes. This is from Blazing Saddles where The Waco Kid shows what ended his career.

Brazil is a hell of nice country for searching for this guy. They must have put out a dumbass alert of some sort. I hope they didn’t put to much effort into this. It was just a thinning of the herd that happens from time to time.

Fellow Flyers Duct-Tape Disorderly Drunk to His Seat

Fellow Flyers Duct-Tape Disorderly Drunk to His SeatA drunk passenger on an Los Angeles-bound jetliner was duct taped to his seat by fellow flyers and later arrested after the FBI said he drunkenly attacked a flight attendant. [Fox News Headlines]

That is to cool. Another use of duct tape. Red Green has got to proud and I would bet a fan of PBS’s popular show was on the airliner.

I wish we could do this in all sorts of situations. Since I’ve been out trucking, I’ve noticed folks just do not know how to act right in social situations. I don’t know if they just weren’t held enough as children or if the Prozac and Starbucks cocktails they take do it to them. I’m not trying about truckers so much as the general public I run into. I would love to duct tape undesireables  that come into the truck stops from the Greyhound Bus! Duct taping would be suitable punishment for all sorts of travelers that feel that their need to ditch the cashier lines and other social ignorance, stupidity, and selfishness. Nobody gets hurt and they will get free whenever somebody decides to show the twits some kindness.
