Pointless Announcements

I survived backwoods Texas, no thanks to my crackhead GPS.
Even got hit on my a little-bitty man in a ten-gallon hat in Jasper that was a little bummed that he had to spend Christmas with his case of cheap beer, alone, since I wasn't interested in his "190 proof 'shine".
And, I learned what a "coon-ass" is.
I had heard about Jasper ahead of time and planned NOT to stop, but my bladder had other plans.
Luckily, the standard speed limit in backwoods Texas is 60 - 75 mph. So, even with two pee breaks, I made it back in 3.5 hours.

 

@Noodle,

What's a "coon-ass?"

 

Louisiana-native, apparently.

 

What do they call outsiders? 'Gator-taint?

 

Hellifiknow.

 

A coon ass usually refers to a lower class country cajun. That was my understanding from the coon asses i knew there. Like other racial epithets, it's been reclaimed as a point of ethnic pride. People still use it in the classist/racist sense, though.

 

Yes, this was used after I rejected his advances, so I think that it was derogatory.
And, knowing what's gone on in Jasper in the past, I have no doubt.

 

What a wonderful Christmas. I'm very excited for a wonderful wonderful New Year.

 

Somehow I ended up with three knives for Christmas.
Now I currently have five knives in my pocket.

Anybody want to start a gang fight?

 

Texas! What, what?! ha ha ha.

 

Haha suckers! This is what MY Christmas looks like!

 

Wait, it's coming back to me. Is this, like, your thing? Didn't you get hit on by a cocky Italian midget once?

 

On behalf of myself, my dog, and my cats (the rest of the family being away), I would like to wish all of you a very, very happy Boxing Day!

 

*sigh* Yes. Yes, I did. But he was my own age.
This is totally NOT my thing.
I think it's because I'm relatively tall or because I like to wear tall shoes.
I was wearing my boots with 2" heels.
It's a power thing, I suspect.
Dammit, Niner. I don't want to think about that. Eeew.

 

Wolves are always described as hungry. Moreso than other predators. I wonder what's behind that impulse.

 

Nantucket Blend is kinda boring. Donut Shop is pretty good. Italian Roast is a bit bitter for my taste. Hazelnut and Caramel Vanilla are just vile. I have enjoyed the Newman's Own in the past. If these K-cups weren't so wasteful and expensive (65 cents a cup? Outrageous!), I could be a fan. I'll see how Folger's works with this machine and meanwhile, start shopping for a grinder. If anyone actually likes some of these variety brews, I'd be willing to mail them to you.

A well caffeinated Grumpster is a happy Grumpster !

Maybe it's that non-hungry wolves pretty much keep to themselves and don't bother us hoomans.

 

subtract about 85% of the people and I might be interested.
