scottobearTruth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make sense. Janet Reno was in town this last weekend... I forgot to mention it earlier. She is indeed sort of squatchy, according to reliable witnesses.
I think I've figured out what I'll do with Dan on my next visit... 1000 blank white cards. Some highlights of other folk's cards...(warning, some adult content, possibly not safe for work). I'm rather partial to "Win a dream date with Chewbacca" +526, and the food chain. (I didn't know Blue whales ate cats!) The Boston set and Seattle set are both nice. Hummingbird thinks you are delicious. +5
Thirty Minutes With A Surly Harrison Ford - a funny glimpse into "roundtable" movie press junkets. Although, to be fair, you can't fault Harrison Ford for an industry-wide publicity machine that favors fluffy sound bites over anything of substance, supplying ill-prepared reporters who ask dumb questions with steady jobs.
I saw something this morning while tooling around on the HZ... a dumpster diver. A possibly homeless guy going from trash bin to trash bin, collecting, stomping flat, and storing recyclable cans in 40 gallon trash bags. He had one that was already full, and a second that he was in the process of loading up. I wonder how much he gets per bag? When I was a Middle-school kid, living in Hypoluxo, I'd go collecting cans and load up about a bag or two over the course of a few hours... I seem to recall I got about $20 for three hour's work, and that was back in the early 80s. Strange flashback... I remember my broomstick with a nail in it, and crushing the cans to small discs so that more would fit. The smell of that last dreg of beer coming out from under your shoe smelling so foul. As a kid, I thought it was urine, because of the color and reek. That Christmas, I get a Battlestar Galactica jacket... pictures of silver cylons on it, with the big double diamond base star on the back. I thought I looked so cool.
Singing kitty flash thing. Cute and vaguely disturbing.

Kinda like "Pictionary meets Gin Rummy"....only without any real object?? BTW, the phone number that "Ben" guy wrote on his card is local. Should I call him?? ;)
P.S. Don't take cans out of recycling bins, though. That's technically stealing! (I know, I used to work for the garbage man!!)

Date: 2002-07-23 04:00 pm (UTC)yup, the game is pretty much pass/ draw cards and neener back and forth. I think it looks like a lot of fun. :) I'd only call ben if you grow weary of the boy.... I think Ben's lookin' fer love.
oh, I was a dirty thief back in the day, re:recycling bins.... that was a major loot-factory! There was a "party-house" up the street that always had a boatload of old beercans.
