The Dino-Aspie Cafe (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

Post Reply New Topic

Sorry guys for my absence - I had to do a little running around. Well, this kind of threw a wet towel on the very first ever Chinese fart rag party, eh? Its too bad too, as I think it had potential. (Love everyone's contributions!).

I've had a gun held to my head 5 separate times as a civilian: 4 times occurred in different pharmacies, one occurred offering a ride to a hitchhiker.

Its so surreal. In every case I started laughing and couldn't stop. One guy started laughing with me, and then we both laughed so hard he just walked away. The hitchhiker was a lady. I convinced her that killing me would be bad for us both (as I was driving). I drove for a while and we talked and joked around, the whole while with the gun in my ear, then we stopped and I bought her some lunch. After I paid, I gave her my wallet. She took the money, gave me my wallet back. We talked for a few hours, laughed a bunch, I drove her around some more. In the evening I dropped her off at a hotel, we wished each other well, and I went home.

Once while working at night I heard our front cashier scream. (She had been in a car accident 3 months prior, and was in a body cast). I jumped the counter and ran up front - two guys had dragged her outside and were trying to stuff her into a car. When I got there another car pulled up and 4 more guys jumped out. She looked like one of those star-shaped kids that are wearing so many layers of winter clothes they can't move, which cracked me up, so I started laughing. I said: "Guys, if you took any merchandise you can keep it, but I can't let you have our front cashier." I picked Debbie up around the waist and carried her back to the pharmacy, the whole way being wailed on by the 6 guys, who I was telling: "I don't wanna fight." And Debbie was yelling "Shoot them! Shoot them!" (I was carrying, but I figured they were just out for some Friday night mischief. They weren't using weapons themselves, just some laughable martial arts, and they weren't hurting me, so why shoot them?) (I've always been assigned to work in the rough areas of town, until 3 years ago. Now I work in a much better area).

Laughing has kept me alive so far. I don't carry anymore. All those years that I did carry, I never used it, even while being robbed. But I know how to handle myself, am well trained and if necessary I can hit like a freight train.

Very, very cool image, Chuck!!

(I'm glad to find out that the cafe serves a variety of adult beverages.)

Chuck,

You can come to work with me and be my bodyguard dude. Coffee dude will get our coffee. He's good about that.

I'd love to help you any time ZanneMarie!

Hey Merle, Hey DirtDawg!

I actually became very good friends with the hitchhiker. I Let her live with me while I put her through rehab. She still calls every now and then to let me know how she's doing.

Do you like my Chinese Fart Rag avatar? I'm leaving it up until Rjaye can see it. Her's killed me. Did you like Lau's posts? Hahahaha! They've been cracking me up!

I am not getting the whole Chinese Fart Rag thing. I must not have a male mind after all. I will have to call my brother right away and tell him that indeed my second X is fully formed.

Hi, all.

Happy 100th!

I, too, have two friends at Vtech. Both fine, thank god.

Here's to a a thousand pages...and even just a few days of no more blood.

I have a gun story, too. Once, I was riding the bus to a job interview. This crazy looking woman got on the bus. She had a look of rage on her face, and I quickly averted my gaze. But the loonies always spot me. Suddenly, she said, "That's right, its a gun. And I know how to use it, too!" When I looked, she was holding a small pistol, aiming it at ME. All the passengers on the bus seemed mildly entertained, but no one reacted at all. Terrified, I froze. I knew that the driver could see her, but he didn't react either. It was so weird and scary. I started to pray, and think of my daughter, age six at the time, whom I might never see again. Suddenly, she got off the bus. I rode another stop out of my way, told the bus driver what I thought of him, and then went to my interview. Which I sadly botched, being badly shaken. When I boarded the bus home, guess who climbs on? HER again. Well, the delayed reaction was kicking in. I turned and faced her, and this evil grin came from out of nowhere. I wouldn't stop staring and nodding and grinning. She wouldn't look at me, actually looked ashamed, and hastily got off at the next stop. I was so angry that I was very tempted to go after her and beat the s--t out of her! It was bizarre. I wonder if that was even a real gun.

Alright, for those of you that don't remember how it happened, REPLAY.
(and it was THOSE MEN that warped a perfectly non vulgar PC idea into a joke with real raunch potential!)

and then




and then it was too late, they were off and running!

I figured men came up with that. I felt like I was back with my five brothers again. LOL

Guns are still needed where I live. It's just the way it is. I don't like the whole human vs human thing with them, in the least. I won't use them if I don't have to, but sometimes there is no choice. I'll run before I would fight a human, always been afraid I'd do the hand to hand combat thing, it isn't pretty, no neat moves, you just kill them.

Ahahahahahaha!! !! ! Yeah!! Now we can put our "CFR" avatars away until the next time we need them, on our two hundreththththth page....WoooHOooo! And given the way we chatter, that'll be in three weeks, more or less....

(Runs downstairs to check on Ubbytrined)

And Lau's logo, while apt, reminds me of why my mom rarely had a birthday cake at the bar--beer and cake? Not an appetizing pair. Now a Duckfart and cake, that could roll...

But I loved the Dino holding the muffin.

Another tee shirt idea?

And when I read Merle's rehash of how the "Chinese Fart Rag" got started, I liked her idea of hanging off of cables and "crop dust farting" all over WrongPlanet. I can think of a few threads where that might be apropos...Bring on the bran and prune muffins!

I am at a loss for words, which I know is unusual for a Dino-Aspie, but I will gently put away my "CFR" avi, and put up another.

Metta, y'all,

Oh GREAT. I'm trying to drag myself back to the workplace; just what I want to hear.

Chuck, did you draw that Dino with muffin and brew? That's excellent!

Yes, I thought I'd missed something, so I went back and checked.

Sorry you changed your avatar; she was a beautiful little girl. I'll miss her.

*silently listening/reading*
maybe i can make the coffee and some tea?
i'm not really talkative

Nan wrote I believe that TV/Drama is there to sell products. If it entertains well enough to keep an audience, it sells airtime.
About the whole tv thing which was a flippant idea from me: I was thinking that instead of writing dating and marriage manuals it would be better to televise them. I thought you would all earn lots of money because I'm sure it would be be very popular with a wide audience. Many NTs (mainly males) do not pick up social signals from would-be lovers either though their problems aren't as bad as Aspies. As comedy is an exaggeration of ?normal I think it would a hit.
I hope I haven't put my foot in it.

My husband has put your avatar at the top of his list of favourite images along as a photo of Barat in his togs. It's a male thing, I think.
