Never Question the Knowledge of a Super Fan

Even if it's a fandom I've been dormant in for years. I remember all the things.

You will get an info dump with either screenshots or links to proof. 

Or I scour the Internet for a clip of the scene. And find it.

((this is all in good fun!))

Update! My fannish knowledge and ability to conjure up obscurities from the Internet void made someone's day. I'm so happy.

[ Public ] A Pickup Truck of Rage

This guy wins the Bag of Dicks of the Week award; fuck, maybe he's earned it for the entire month.

Before I get into Mr. D, here's a little background info on where the scene took place:

I take the bus to work, and the park and ride is across the way from where all the school buses stop to pick up students (at that hour, it is a giant, empty parking lot). On a typical morning, you'll see parents dropping off their kids or sitting in their cars with their kids until the bus comes. 

Enter the Bag of Dicks

I was waiting at the park and ride this morning, and all of a sudden, I see this light brown pick up truck come flying down the street between me and the school buses. It swerves next to a black SUV. At first, I think the drivers know each other, because, for a split second, the two vehicles were side by side...that is until Captain Douche floors it and cuts the SUV off, forcing it to stop because he slams his breaks without warning.

At this point, I'm wondering what in the hell is going on. 

He gets out of his truck and storms towards the SUV. Everyone at the park and ride is watching. The  man starts shouting at the top of his lungs. The driver of the SUV does not roll down his window or get out. There are children in the backseat. Bag of Dicks continues ranting and raving, thrusting his fists about. Finally, the driver of the SUV opens his door, and Bag of Dicks's rantings become clear.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SPEED LIMIT IS?
35
35 FUCKING MILES PER HOUR!

The rest of his rage becomes unintelligible again. The driver of the SUV slams his door shut and does not budge. Bag of Dicks continues shouting for a few minutes and retreats to his truck, where he proceeds to peel away. The SUV backs up and sits at the children's parking lot, and I notice that no one leaves it, and I am certain that no one left it until the school bus came. 

I find the fact that this Bag of Dicks floored the gas pedal, sped down a street of children and pedestrians, just to cut someone off to scream at them for speeding ironic. I guess calling the police and reporting someone for speeding is too much work these days. Gotta get that fresh morning road rage in. Gotta almost cause a wreck. 

It reminds me of the time this old, fat bastard cut me and my coworker off back in '99 just to scream and yell at us for sprinting across the crosswalk instead of "walking." He swerved right at us with his giant car and nearly hit the grassy island just to earn his Bag of Dicks of the Week award. Oh, and he blocked traffic too. I remember cars swerving around him as his face became red with rage.

Getting Older

It has finally struck me.

My work went out to lunch yesterday, and during that time a lot of them were talking about normal people adulting stuff that I sort of tune out, but politely nod to here and there (catch me in a conversation about Sci-Fi, Germany, art, trains, and I am totally into it). One of my coworkers said something along the lines of

"I'm 38....I don't know if I want to do that now." 

I remember thinking to myself, gosh, when I turn that age, I hope I'm not a total adult! I'm not ready yet! Then I froze. 

I am 37 years old.

Thirty-fucking-seven.

When she said 38, it felt like a decade from now.

Once I hit 30, I've never felt my actual age and have always had the pleasure of working with Millennials and Baby Boomers (working Baby Boomers are nice people, btw. They tend to relive their younger years). Why I never worked with vast sums of Generation X, aside from my military days when we were all in our early 20s, I don't know. It's like as soon as they hit 25, they all disappeared. 

My current job is full of Generation X (they are wonderful people; they just love normal adulting stuff), so now my age and the fact that I'm getting older is in my face. I can't even relate to current fashion anymore. I'm sorry, but spandex and bland croptops are ugly. 

I don't know the point of this post, to be honest. I guess it's finally hit me that I am 37, not 25. 

Fellow Generation Xers, how do you feel?

It's Been A Long Time!

 Let me start this off by saying I quit Hell Inc and started an awesome job over a year ago. I am so happy now. 

I love my current job, and it's time to dust this blog off and start posting again. 

I had stopped posting in here because Hell Inc got worse (yes, WORSE). I could barely keep my sanity and hold it together. I'll just list a few bullet points as to how bad it got:

Pew, Pew! A New Star Trek?

CBS is planning to create a new Star Trek series.

Fans of Star Trek circa 2009, best steer clear of this post. I am not a fan of that movie.
