The alien fearing dude was nothing but trouble but we could not fire him because of Human Rights. I could probably fill a page on stories about him from the alien refusal to the Viet Cong booby traps in the showers (and no he had never fought in a war).

Small.... world.

On a tangent topic, I had a guy on facebook (whose job listed on FB was "Toyota Parts Specialist") tell me how awful Toyos were, and how he had such and such tire ( I trolled him, he got so mad he went and took photos of them HA) but he closed by saying he didn't use toyos because a Japanese car should only get Japanese tires. XD!!!!

I mean, Toyos/Nittos are alright. I just said something because someone in my family works for Toyo (Got that hookup on Toyos/Nittos

) but I feel like a Toyota Parts Specialist who doesn't know Toyo is a Japanese company shouldn't be a Toyota Parts "Specialist."

Leonard Skinner was a high school teacher in Jacksonville, Florida. Is that who you mean?

Small world. So did you know "GI Gerry"? He likely worked security there in the early 2000's. We used to call him " Colonel Flagg" at his previous place of employment. He had his sense of humour surgically removed. He was great fun to tease.

He's a poser if he didn't have genuine JDM air in those tires.

Holy shit, this guy.
This is probably the first time I was genuinely starting to get pissed off at someone on the internet.
