too funny

I was at Lowes, picking up some supplies in the paint department.

well, it must be getting time for the college students to start moving in for the school year. There were 3 verrry bleached blonds getting paint supplies…typical bleached brained babes. One of them looked at her sheet of paper and said, “it says we need a plastic drop cloth.”

so they looked at the plastic drop cloths…they come in different thicknesses, 1 mil, 2 mil, 4 mil, etc…

So, one of them says, “Gosh, the smallest size they have is 1 MILE! I don’t think we need one that long!

this really truly happened.

Skate Mondays at Progressive Skatepark for 5 bucks!

Starting July 28th

$5.00 Monday’s are back!

Skate all day for only five bucks!!!!!!

the Auburn GA way of thinking is, building a skatepark attracts gangs.

1) I’ve been going to skateparks for most of my life. Gangs don’t hang out there. Please take an actual visit to a skatepark…photograph the gang activity and email it here, for me to see with my own eyes.

2) buildings CAN attract a BAD ELEMENT. you certainly don’t want to build any government buildings. although I am certain my Googling of members of the Auburn Government will turn up nothing but stories of angelic actions and stuff.<G>
here’s my example of buildings and bad people;

Well lets talk about “attracting the wrong crowd…”
> Let’s not build any more government buildings!
> There are 535 members of the United States Congress.
> 36 Have been accused of spousal abuse
> 7  Have been arrested for fraud
> 19 Have been accused of writing bad checks
> 117 Have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least
> 2 businesses
> 3 Have done time for assault
> 71,Repeat 71 Cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
> 14 Have been arrested on drug-related charges
> 8 Have been arrested for shoplifting
> 21 Currently Are defendants in lawsuits, and
> 84 Have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

so let me get this straight…GANGS have nowhere to hangout unless there’s a skatepark? sweeeet.

oh well, at least the Donkey Creek’s around the corner…but it’s filled with VolleyBaller GANGS. nassssss-teee!

International House of Pancakes In Oconee County IHOP on Epps Bridge Road serves MOLDY FOOD

We decided to go to International House of Pancakes on Epps Bridge Road in Oconee County for a nice sunday breakfast…what a mistake!

QUESTION:

how does a cook grill up a sandwich, and not see that the corner of the bread is GREEN with MOLD???

ANSWER: There is no reasonable answer…other than, “they served the GARBAGE on purpose.”

I mean…HOW can this health hazard get to the customer???

There were plenty of chances to catch it…you get the bread out of the bag(1st chance), you put the sandwich together(2nd chance), you grill the sandwich and flip it(3rd and 4th chance) , then you cut the sandwich in half(5th chance) and place it on the plate(6th chance).

then the server carries it to the table(7th chance to notice the moldy bread).

I was hungry…I started eating the sandwich. robin was on the other side of the table and she sees it…”oh GROSS, your sandwich is MOLDY!”

I just about puked it up right there.

words can’t describe my disgust…I hope I don’t get sick from eating their TRASH SANDWICH!

I’ll NEVER spend another dime at ANY IHOP…and y’all better inspect your food, if you decide to eat there.

the power of blogging is stronger than the moldy food served at International House Of Pancakes.

I.H.O.P. can Kiss My RUMP.

june 28 weekend reports

june 28 weekend reports;

me and ty and robin went to tybee island on saturday and surfed at the south jetty for a few hours before high tide. we had fun. then we went to Cafe Loco and got some tasty seafood. it was a good day.

The ESA Tybee contest was postponed or cancelled or whatever…due to lack of surfable waves or something. whatever…there was parking and our waves were totally un-crowded. fine.

The Tybee skimboarding contest was at the other end of the Island, so we din’t see nuthin. should be results up on 17thskreekboys website soon? ummm, yeah…here’s the link to their skim pics page;

there was a mega-party at The Cowtown Ramp…saturday and sunday…25 bands…6 kegs…countless epic tales of shredding and bleeding. if you missed it, dude…you missed it.

the Some dude association held a blader/skater/bmx contest at spoa and didn’t tell anyone.(well yeah…I guess I saw a flyer somewhere that said something about frootbooters and $20 to skate a free skatepark and didn’t read any further…). so like 8 people showed up, kaden and kai dominated the event and sounds like everyone got some free stuff to take home. cool.

spoa folks are checkin out the donkey creeks thursday night 8til? while the “real” skaters will be hittin the verts at the mall food court.

that’s all for now…
