I am 40 years old today, it's all downhill from here. Time to slip on a comfy pair of Clarks, crack open a Lee Valley magazine and then fall asleep in front of the golf channel.
It didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. 43 seems to have produced all sorts of new aches and pains. Happy birthday.
Birthday here, too, so happy birthday to us. The 40s haven't been much different from the 30s for me. Crown, you seem to still run pretty strong, don't worry man. Cheers to a great day!
Yeah, my birthday was yesterday and this is my last year in my 40s. I guess the memory is the first thing to go, because I forgot to pay my car tag. Dammit. What were we talking about again?
Speaking of Armageddon and lawn care... My front lawn has grubs. Fuckers. They eat the roots and I’ll be spraying nematodes this weekend. But it seems the skunks are now out in full force. They apparently really like grubs, because I woke up to this shit this morning: What. The. Fuck. ? Operation Mandallay Bay begins tonight. (too soon?)
Got it, Hidden Valley and lawn darts. I get the same thing around here, except is grubs and armadillos. Motherfuckers will ruin my yard. I usually dispatch them with a .22, but one night, when I pulled into my driveway, one of the bastards was right there by the edge of the road. I jumped out of my truck with my .380 and emptied the magazine. Totally missed him until the final shot. I live out in the middle of nowhere, but still in a subdivision of sorts. One of my neighbors was like, "hey, did you hear some gunfire last night?" Mmmm, nope, must've been kids with fireworks.
Skunks fucking LOVE grubs. If you have them, the skunks will wreck everything long before the grubs have a chance to. "Critter Ridder" doesn't work, don't waste your time.
Same thing happened to me with armadillos. I went out on my front porch and there they were. I grabbed my 9mm and unloaded at them. Just as I was walking back into the house my police scanner went off about multiple shots fired on my road. I'm sure the cops knew who it was, but they never even asked me about it.
I think the funny part of that story is that you walk around with a police scanner. That your very first social media device?
I thought the funny part was how multiple shots were reported fired, but the cops didn't bother simply because is was So-And-So. Murcia.
You two used to ride the trolley together on the way to the most hip sock-hops. Don't fucking lie. And as somebody who once voted for Teddy Roosevelt, does it piss you off that his Rushmore face doesn't have glasses?
Man I love James Woods, Ive been on a Casino clip kick for a week or so. I might just go head and buy the blu ray. My favorite scene with Lester Diamond: How he argues with the five year old girl geeks me out every time.
