True. The friendliness is pure Irish, though.

I must have passed right by it! If I had known I'd saluted it.

A Dublin lunch


Cottage pie and a pint. Delicious!

So you would be the normal security guard then.

Hmmm... Well crap, back to square one then.

Haha... shut up.

It's like dancing. I'm a terrible dancer so I was always self conscious until a friend asked me to look at all the other people on the dance floor.

Lots of terrible dancers. I am definitely not the worst but I was focused on comparing myself to the best ones. Nobody gives a rat's ass.

Ehh I don't think it matters if it's California. At least with most people I know, especially asians, they always wanted to be in some type of dance crew.

Many times I was the only white guy in the joint.

Ancient history. I'm old and boring now.

Exactly.

Reminds me of my work.
We used to get free/cheap movie tickets for a specified week/month that started on a certain date. The employees from my work were causing a scene, basically harassing the theater employees to give them the tickets even though it wasn't the correct date.
The program has been discontinued from that theater.

We also used to get Nike employee store passes but apparently we always make a huge mess there.
Now it's on a raffle system and its only like once a year.

And this is a company full of PhDs and Masters.

Worst part about working at Sandia Natl. Labs was dealing with some of the elitist big-brained douchebags. Not everyone, but it was an annoyingly high percentage. Other than that, it was an amazing experience.

When everyone is drunk, all become awesome dancers!

At least that's what I'm told. Not much of a party/club person.

I'm more than happy to get completely wasted in my home where I can pass out near the more cleaner toilet.

Try this again in the right spot!


Soooooooogot got pulled over today for "took that on ramp a little fast there don'tcha think sir?".
All I could say was "ya I guess I did" 'cuz, well, I did. The limit on it was 40KPH and I was doing over 90KPH so he could have nailed me for "Stunt Driving" under Ontario law.
Got off with a warning but that was one cop that had no interest in chatting about the car.

I'm watching Channel 7 news about the California winds and the reporter kept calling an Acura Integra an Audi until she was corrected by an interview with the residents.
