I lounge around all morning, take a shower, etc etc. Then I remember that I need to go to the post office to mail my rent check because Monday is a holiday. So I jump in my car, wearing boxers and a tank, and just plan on going through the drive through so I don't even have to get out of the car. WRONG. I pull out of my driveway, turn the corner (I live in a court, on the corner), drive about 50 feet, and some wacko comes off the main street doing about 75 and comes about 6" from plowing into me, and right behind him are about 15-20 Sheriff's cars. :eek: So I pull over and look in my rear view and see that the asshole finally decides to pull over...




ON MY FRONT LAWN






So anyway, I can't really see what's going on, and I stay in my car just to be safe, but I can hear guns cocking, police yelling, etc. Then I hear the guy scream out. Turns out they shot him with rubber bullets. :( So I can see that they have the guy cuffed, so I get out of my car in my PJs to make sure that everything is ok. The guy is screaming at the top of his lungs "KILL ME, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, JUST KILL ME.":eek:

After about an hour, one of the deputies is telling me that he had his kids with him at one point, and dropped them off in the street about 2 miles away. They all assure me that they will get his Explorer off my lawn, and that I don't need to stick around. So I go to the post office, come back, and they are all still there. They empty his truck, and try to be as courteous as possible, but end up being in my front yard for about 3-4 hours. No one really knew what the guy's story was, or why he was being pursued. There was media at the scene, but I never saw anything on the news, or in the paper. :confused:


I hope everyone else's weekend was a bit more relaxed.:p

My weekend went like this:
Home from work on Friday, eat dinner, and start to work on deck.
Progress going good, plan to be “ready to start” first thing in the morning. Hauling deck boards from the ground 9-feet up so I’ll have a good start.

Climb down off of deck and step onto scrap of lumber with a framing nail protruding through it. I jump, cuss, hop around doing the “what the hell was that dance” and then realize what I had just done.

Well, I’m a tough guy and just reach down grab the board to pull the nail out of my foot.
I pull and it is stuck.
So I twist it and pull and can feel weird things in the back of my skull twisting in unison. Once out, I examined the nail, walked around cussing and thinking “I’ll just walk it off”. I start to load more boards onto the deck and start thinking “The pain is getting worse”. After a few minutes of climbing up and down I quit and went inside and told my wife to gather up my tools and put them up.

I take a couple of aspirin and drink a couple of beers, reapplying beer as necessary. About 4 AM, I wake up on the couch feeling like my foot is caught in a bear trap, and my heart is trapped in my foot. The pain was much more than I had expected from such a little injury.

I went to the medicine cabinet and found some Tylenol 3 or 4 from several years a go. Take one and lay in bed until day light before going to sleep. The rest of the weekend I limped around on a sore foot.

I worked on the deck for several hours each day, but the progress is slow when you have a lame foot.

It’s still very sore and swollen, but getting better each day.

When was your last tetnaus shot ? :D

Too funnay, Renee!

Did you find any rubber bullets that may have bounced off him? I bet they would sell like hot cakes on ebay. :D

:eek:

I keep my tetnus current.
I get one evey couple of years in the ER for one reason or another.
I'm sure I have had at least one in the last 5 years.

No, thank god. They were pretty good at cleaning up as far as a I can tell. There wasn't any trash laying around that I saw, and they emptied his car, which looked like he might have been living out of it.

This post is worthless without pics :D :D

Damn,
I was just getting ready to post the pics of the hole in foot and swelling.:flipoff2:

Here's a couple anyway:flipoff2:

Notice the swelling of the right foot, it's gone down quite a bit since friday night.

Now that I posted my pics, Ponygirl has to post her's in her PJs.:flipoff2:

What I learned from this weekend. Do not chop and clean Jalapeno chili peppers with your bare hands, and then go take a piss, without first washing your hands very well. :eek:

That happened to a guy I work with and his wife asked him is there anything that will help? He replied, "Your Saliva." She was not amused, but we laughed.:D

This post went from having an interesting plot and a hot leading lady (scantily clad) to gross and foot smellingly aweful.


Thanks Matt. :(




:flipoff2:

bet the guy was trying for "Suicide by cop".


oh yeah...and we want pics!!:D

:flipoff2:

Exactly what I was thinking! Here we have a female runnin' around in her PJ's and all we get pics of is someone's smelly feet?! WTF???:confused::flipoff2:

Someone said "We want pics!"

So you got them. I knew Ponygirl wasn't going to "pony up" the PJ pics.

Sorry man.
I'll try to do better next time.

Toeing at ground, head hung low, and starting to walk away slowly

Actually, I didn't even think about taking pics until later on that evening when everything was done with. Doh!
