I'm still laughing about this 8+ hours later... But he's gotta tell you! Buwahhhh! Buwahhhhh! Buwahhhh!
Alright, I was going to start a thread, but the wife and I have been enjoying a glass of wine (two buck chuck...lol) out by a fire out back. Jason, a friend of ours Matt, myself, and our wives and kids went to the Del Mar Fair today. We have a really good time. Upon pulling out of the parking lot, I realized Matt, his wife, and daughter, were sitting in traffic behind me. We got stuck at a crosswalk and I decided it would be a "great" idea to due a 10 second burnout with them behind me. I look back and they are chuckling...probably thinking "dumb ass". So a minute later, I see a law enforcement officer slowly walking my way. I wonder how he knew it was me??? I roll down the window, take my shades off, and he just looks at me for a moment. I said "I apologize sir, I was messing with my friend and his family in the car behind me". He mentions "what if I lost control and injured people in front of me?" Point taken, I'm not going to mention I am REALLY intimate with my car, and we understand each other. He mentioned "putting my family in danger". I said "you are absolutely right!". Anyways, I must be hitting my mid life crisis stage in life. Two weeks ago, a co worker, who is a 28 year old SEAL has been wanting me to do a "beer bong" with him at his house. I finally gave in after a few months. As I held up the full beer bong I said "I'm turning 40 this year and I'm about to do a beer bong with you at your house!". Oh well!! The more things change, the more they stay the same!!
You'd like to think so huh?? I've toned things down a bit since I was younger. But, I still have my momentary lapses in judgment! What do you do? I could attempt to completely neuter myself in everyday life. Can't do it at work....wouldn't help in self preservation. LOL
Eh, I've got a kid to keep me semi-sharp out of self-defense. Granted in a couple of years she'll be showing me how dumb I really am. :maddy:
Sweet...I like the "baby Maddy" smiley! I hope Ron or Mains got a hummer out of it! LOL I know Hal couldn't get it up to be paid off! hehe
rick........ turning 40 will surely have a profound impact on you...... it did me!! i just hit the number back in feb!!! as for the burnout..... you should of just told the cop, "go to www.srtconnection and look at my sig..... i am a very, highly trained driving expert...... people worship me on that forum" hahahaahhahahahaha
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG... Folks, knowing Rick as well as I do... I can imagine, with almost perfct clarity, the look on Ricks face when the cop came to his window. Kind of a look of getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar, some smugness and embarrasement mixed in... with a dash of a smirk. A half-assed attempt at military formality! LMAO! Rick called my cell right after this apparently happened, I answer "Hello" and I get this (paraphrased): "You know how I sometimes don't have the best judgement?!?!" LMAO! I can't wait to here the version from Mrs. Bud in the passenger seat. You think Rick can weave a tale? LMAO! *Sidenote: the fair was a good time, although don't eat the brisket... more like roast beef.
Sounds normal to me! Yolanda is already getting stressed out about turing 40 and thats 2 years away. lol!! no worries man, I'd keep hitting the beer bong once a week and burn the tires down to the cord man!
Thought that for a split second. But then thought "two lapses of judgment in a two minute period is probably enough. LOL Dead on on all accounts. The one thing I have learned is that a leopard doesn't change its spots!! Correctimundo!! I had a $10 corn dog, fries, and a deep fried smore!! The smore was yummy!! No ticket....just a look of disgust and a mild counseling!! Whoops. After our 30 mile journey back home at the last stop sign prior to turning in my neighborhood, I did another burnout....this one a tad longer!! hehe
Rick, turning 40 is nothing, 50 really didn't bother me either, now 60, that's a different story. My body started to self destruct and continues to do so. I was 60 when I visted the EQ last year. My 1st trip to the Del Mar Fair was 40 years ago. How about that?
DAHAHAHA! You should have tried the legal defense approach (that always works real well...). What are you going to cite me for? I wan't moving. Any sort of moving violation wouldn't apply and I wasn't illegally parked. hahaha, then the call to Jason would have started out with "got your FOP card?"
So, you were there when they first started using incandescent lighting?!?! LMAO! I've never considered aging... but lately, regardless of my mid thirties, I'm thinking now! I agree. I think Rick should have argued his case right there on the spot. LOL I know, I know... but it said that "Juicy's BBQ was the best in the west"... damn false advertising. I even told Rick beforehand the Fair BBQ was sub-par (as per years past)... but, I just HAD to freakin' try it. Honestly, and I told Rick this when we were there... if he started a fair-type BBQ, the way he does REAL BBQ, he'd make a killing. I'd help move shit, stock the serving trays, etc... then gain 20 lbs over the course of the fair without moving more than 5 feet all day! BTW: the way Rick smokes a sausage... you'll never forget it! LMAO!
