The Prickyard

Have to admit, most of the time when I read your posts, my perspective changes and I just want to break out in song like the old Coke commercial, 'I'd like to teach the world to sing. '! Great attitude man!! Keep it up!

[QUOTE=Kyussfan;3083039]Years ago I used to ride to establishments that other motorcycle enthusiasts would frequent. Some would comment on the paint work on my bike, and I would tell them that I had done it, for that is one of my three talents. (juggling and burping the alphabet being the other two) So people would ask me to paint their bikes. I did it at first for below market value because I enjoyed both doing the work, and helping someone out. I then became so busy, that I found myself working on everyone else's bike, instead of riding my own. So then I would only take on work during the winter time. Still, what was once fun was now a chore. So I began quoting astronomical prices to deter individuals from wanting to use my services. However a few times this backfired, and I was stuck doing the work, although at a much higher rate. Eventually I had had enough and just let everyone know that I was no longer interested in doing paint work anymore. I felt bad at first, like I was letting everyone down, but a pint of Haagen-Dazs vanilla helped to heal my pain.

All of this story is pretty much pointless, except that I've wasted one of my three talents, and there are a few similarities with this story, and the current situation that has unfolded upon this board. Everyone relax, and have fun!! The world isn't really that serious, after all!

'! Great attitude man!! Keep it up![/QUOTE]Ha! See mom? There ARE others like me! They like the same thing I do. Wax paper, boiled football leather, the smell of a female German's unshaven left armpit after winning the bronze in the Olympic pole vault. These are the kind of things that bring a high even Willie Nelson at the top of Mt. Everest couldn't get.

I'm not always this happy though. I've had my share of bumps in the road. Sure, one of them might have been a slow moving old lady trying to cross the street, but I was texting my parole officer, and dreaming of Mmgeg's legs, so that one didn't count. You'll walk faster next time granny, won't ya?

Anyway, here's what has always helped me through those dark moments. I head down to the nearest White Castle, buy me a sack of ten, and on my way back to the car I open up the bag and take a big wiff, and I think to myself, this is living man. This is life.

I then schedule an appointment with a provider afterwards, and spend an hour making Dutch oven pies. I'm glad that my mental instability serves a higher purpose than to keep my psychiatrist in his new Range Rover. Cheers!

Oh, never mind please don't because then I would have to try and figure out who you are and meet up over a beer only to find out it's just you!

[QUOTE=TryinAgain2;3090758]It's actually TaZ, as in the devilish sort

And I feel the two of you should get a room together, since you obviously entertain one another so much.[/QUOTE]It should be Tattoo! Can you say "Ze Plane, Ze Plane!

Thus he emulates me? Or maybe I was just trying to shoehorn in that Lance-envy joke? Regardless we are entirely different people.

Thanks for bringing that up again.

BTW, has anyone been able to interpret LPB's hints about his choice of side work? I'm not sure, Lance. Can you give us another clue?

Uber and Lyft are just fantastic. You can use an app to send a car to pickup your treat and have them transported to your door. It's better than Amazon!
