Yumm...cheese...HA HA HA HA!! Just Kidding!! You all know I don't like-a da cheese. I was just thinking about "Encino Man" today. I think Brendan Fraser should have stayed in the loin cloth the whole movie, don't you girls? I mean, C'mon. One of the few men on this earth that can actually pull off the loin cloth look and they almost immediately take him out of it (which in its own right is a VERY good thing) but then they stick him in the uber-cool clothes of the 90's skater. Bleh. I say loin cloth or naked. Otherwise your just wasting film.
Anyways that's not what I wanted to talk about today. I wanted to talk about my little adventure on the freeway last night. Oh yes. Everyday is an adventure on the Albuquerque freeways. Last night was special though.
I gave
The Bird to a cop. In my defense he was in civilian clothes, driving a civilian car with his ole lady in the passenger seat. Now, you all know very well that I don't just go around randomly flashing the bird to innocent bystander's on the road. This guy, however was in the passing lane, not passing anyone, going super slow. So when Dave went to pass him on the right, the dude tapped his breaks (smart move, copper) and then proceeded to honk at us as we go by. So I flashed him a Big Ole Birdie. As soon as we get around him he finally moves over to the right lane, gets right up next to us and flashes his badge. OH NOOOOOOOO! Honestly, that just pissed me off more. Am I supposed to be afraid of you because you have a badge?! I have a badge too and just like yours (when you are in civilian clothes, car, etc) it don't mean shit. It was just a prime example of the power trips the cops are on here. Now I will admit that there are probably some reasonable, good cops here. But I have never had the pleasure of interacting with one. When we got evacuated from our homes due to a fire in the area, I had to beg, plead and finally threaten to talk to the press that was there before they would allow me to go get my pets out of the house. I was once pulled over for having a headlight out and the cop
ACTUALLY TOLD ME that he was hoping I didn't have insurance so he could tow my truck.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't tax payers pay cops salary? Where the hell do they get off thinking that we should bow to their badge?! I thought their motto was "To Protect and Serve". Hmm.. Maybe they should change it to "Intimidate and General Asshole-ishness" I know asshole-ishness isn't a word but I kinda like it.
Funny thing about all this is even though he could have taken down my License Plate # and potentially come looking for us, I wasn't worried. Still not. Maybe its because Dave's name is on the truck. Maybe cause I know he was just an asshole on a power trip and if he wants some he can come get it.
Which brings me to another point. What the hell is wrong with me lately?! I feel really grumpy here a lot lately and the only time I'm in a good mood or feel happy is when I'm talking to any of you, my whole three readers. I have somewhat of an idea what could be causing this negative feeling inside me, but I cant get my words to describe it accurately. Hmm. More on that later I think...
Tee Hee. I flipped off a cop. Damn, I feel like a bad ass today.
