Like a Knight in Shining Armor

Posted by Anonymous On 11:08 PM

I had a bit of an unexpected adventure today. I was sitting at my desk at work in my guise as a mild-mannered theatre director when I got a phone call from Beeki. She was out of gas and had to pull off the road. Rather than just write about it, I decided to video document it. Here goes:

First, I set off:


Then I mused about what Beeki was up to while waiting:


I had a little trouble en route:


I made it home and picked up some hitchhikers:


I arrived at Blockbuster:


I finished and got Beeki on her way:


I finally made it back to the theatre:


I will accept any community awards or praises that you wish to heap upon me. You're welcome, society.

    It's hard to protest the price of gas while driving. It often leads to protesting the price of fuel pumps and auto repair shops.

    I picked up a young guy who ran out of gas after working swing shift at the Hyatt the other day, and was in the process of hiking 5 miles to the nearest gas station. He was fortunate/experienced(?) enough to carry a gas can with him in the car.

    AAA says that the number of drivers needing roadside assistance has doubled since gas prices have shot up...I just can't bring myself to put $50 of gas in the car at any given time.

    Thanks for rescuing me, my knight in shining silver car!

    Hey, like I said, that's just what it was called when I was growing up. And that wasn't even in Texas! Is there another name for it? I'm happy to change my verbiage is it's insensitive. That's just what it was called. If I learned it was a Visigothic roadblock, that's what I'd call it.

    And again, like I said in the video, it turns out that the guy in the lead car was Mexican. So my term was merely descriptive. Roll that up and smoke it, Julie. Or, for you, should I say roll that up with beans and cheese and eat it, Julie.

    I'm sorry, but it scares me that you're on the road with a CAMERA in your hand. Thank the Lord I don't live in Wacko! Also, you have cute cute doggies and I love your lemon wreath!
