Accident out front of my house...

Okay so Thursday night I was minding my own business watching the Rider game when I heard this big screeeeeech and a bang. I knew right away that we had just had an accident on the street in front of my house. Now, I know this because me in my old age have started to yell at the kids. No, I am not yelling at the kids to get off my lawn, I yell at them as they go by at 100kph on my street. Most of the time they slow down, some of the time they can't hear me because they have their god forsaken stereo up too loud.

Now I know, I sound like a crusty old bastard right now complaining about loud stereos and driving too fast. Both things I had and did in my youth. In fact I had a stereo so loud that Bryan Powell, of the Alaska Powells, once got sick to his stomach after an evening in the back of the Escorche whilst Public Enemy was pounding the speakers. I know that was dumb, but I did not do it very often. I also spent many hours driving way to fast and way too dangerously. ONLY I did not do it in residential areas, I did it out in the country where the only thing I might kill would be a deer, a cow, or maybe myself.

Well this idiot, and I use that term loosely, decided that he was going to race by my house. We live just past a corner on a street that basically just does a loop. We got new blacktop last year so the kids like the nice smooth road to race on. This kid came into the corner too fast and did not make it. He hit the curb, jumped a bit and then smack into the tree. My neighbor accross the street is not too happy. That is the kid with the wrist brace in the picture. The other mental geniouses on the curb were his passengers. Hey dumbass, your hat is on backwards.

So the Mensa prospect that was driving jumps out of his car and the first thing out of his mouth, after he tried to run away but a lady stopped him, was "Stupid car.". That's right he said "Stupid Car". Moron. At this point I broke out laughing. He looked at me funny and that gave me the opening. I then informed him that this is a residential street not a speedway and that he got exactly what he deserved. Look at his front wheels. Totally busted in half. This kid got lucky.

Oh, I might mention that I have yelled at this kid before for racing on my street. Which I told the Regina Police promptly when they showed up. I hope they take this kids licence. They should lock him up with Bubba for an evening so he can understand what he did wrong. Notice the stolen street cone in the back seat. But they probably let him go home with his Mommy and Daddy, who I might add blocked my driveway with their car. I am sure they will run right out and buy their 'little boy' a new VW to pimp out and he will then procede to race down my street again.

If I see him again, oh man there will be hell to pay. This a hole drove over the sidewalk, the same sidewalk that I see around 100 kids a day walk to the park on. That is why I hate these guys. Anyway, I took this opportunity to teach McKenna that when she gets old enough to drive that she should not drive like a stupid idiot, which I said loud enough for the stupid idiots to hear, and that if she does this is what happens. Check out how long the skid mark is. That is just 1/4 of it. It was around two blocks long. He had to be going real fast.

So there it is, the truth comes out. I am turning into grumpy old man.

NEXT: The Nordic One, of the Gillet Nordic Persons, sent us his take on the whole Favre Saga...Take it away Nordic Man...


Hey Chris,

I have had a busy last few weeks. We laid to rest one of our own a couple of weeks ago. Very sad turn of events but he will be missed for sure. I even saw Hauser at the funeral covering it. It was quite the site. 100+ fire trucks and emergency vehicles with 700+ personnel in attendance. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE STORY

Oh, and the other news in GRB. Yes, Favre is a Jet. This was a train wreck from the word go. If anyone knows anything about office politics understands what happened here. Long story sort, Favre was forced out/retired. Favre was unhappy with this decision being made for him. Packers (TT and MM) still asses. TT is betting his career on AR. MM is already trying hard to get away from TT. TT says on day of the trade. "I didn't want to sign the trade papers cuz I don't want to be known as the GM that forced Favre out of GRB." Too late JA! (Donkey) The best way all this would have been avoided this summer would have been if Favre would have asked for the trade after the season was over instead of retiring like TT and MM wanted him to.

Trying to protect his legacy..... Please. There are still people out there that think there was nothing wrong with Clinton diddling an intern. No one cares if you switch teams anymore. And if TT and MM are so sure that Favre is a has-been, why were they sooo adamant that he not go to the Bears or the queens. As for the future? AR even if he pans out to be a decent player? He is in a no win situation cuz he will always be in Favre shadow. So he should really be under no pressure. Everyone expects him to fail or not be as good as what we had, so you might as well relax and give it a go.

It won't be any different than all the coaches since Lombardi dealt with. Needless to say, TT won't be here very long, MM lately looks to be clueless, and Favre has a new system to learn. AR better work on his image/attitude. Most everyone I know that has met him tells me he is an Asshat. TT just plain reminds me of a used car salesmen. Glad this is over and the Packers can now return to their ways of mediocrity.

I hope for more but wonder what life will be like when we have to put in a rookie QB because AR gets hurt in the first few games.

Bill Clinton diddled an intern? Wow, did not know that, or forgot it. That is nothing compared to what the latest guy has done. But that is a whole nother story.

Thank you all for reading, Hauser is sending me pics and a story so stay tuned for that, until then GET BACK TO WORK, OR YOUR WEEKEND, WHATEVER!!!!
