Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

last christmas, at central market, some woman had parked one of those huge escalades all the way over to the left of her lane, touching the line.
i parked next to it, completely within my lines.
when i got back, she was loading her groceries and she scowled at me and said “thanks for parking so close”
I pointed at the lines. and said “i parked My truck completely in My space, it’s not My fault that you either don’t know how to park or can’t think ahead.” “it’s only a few days until christmas, did you really think that nobody would park in this space while you were in the store?”
she had no answer.
or, maybe she just couldn’t think of anything to say that would be appropriate to say in front of her kids.

Michelle. Oh, please – Boulder is infected with Subarus, not sub-compacts.

Of course, I’m a self righteous, car-free Boulderite who gets annoyed when people park their bikes badly.

My bad parking story: My sister’s best friend – we’ll call her Michelle – drove a beater when she was a teenager… One day she came out of the mall to find a brand new Mustang had been parked with about 8″ between them. She carefully got in her car, keeping her hand between the open door and the Mustang to keep it from scratching. While she was getting ready to start the car, the girls who had been driving the Mustang (teenagers) also got to their car and the one girl promptly flung the passenger side door into Michelle’s car, then turned to her buddy and laughed.

Michelle has a bit of a temper. She proceeded to open and close her door several times, slamming it into the mustang. She then held the door open as she reversed out of the parking space, scraping the entire side of the car. When she got home, she told her dad what she’d done and they went out to the garage, scraped the red paint off the door and hammered out the dents.

The End.

Right on Eric! I drive a tooky little Saturn Ion sometimes and I just LOVE to pull in between large butt SUVs. If they have a problem with it, then park out in the boonies or get a smaller car. Other cars would not be able to park in those spaces, but I manage it. Its a legal parking space even if your giant monsters do loom over said parking space.

Man if someone parks crooked, they get whatever happens to them. Take the two seconds to fix your parking or shut up.

#26.1 ClearlyDemented

Bret was making a documentary on the homeless drug addicts that live under a nearby bridge. After his camera is stolen, he’s not only upset that his documentary cannot be completed, but that his bleeding-heart ideals have been crushed. Still, he is who he is. Inspired by his ‘Go Green’ t-shirt, he realizes the only right way to dissent is through the written word.

He suspects an older man by the name of Frank, mostly because Frank is wearing new gloves. He reviews his footage of Frank, searching for something, anything, to use to reciprocate his feelings of loss and anger. Brett watches Frank narrate a story of waking up to screams one night, slowly realizing that his bestest buddy Jack is on fire while nearby teenagers laugh and record the incident. Bret smirks. Could it really be this easy?

He writes this PA note in anger and is pleased to see Frank shudder when he first notices the note. After some reflection, however, he realizes that Frank hadn’t stolen his camera out of maliciousness or greed, but because he associated it with Jack’s death. He vowed to right his wrong.

Bret’s dad bought him a new camera that same week. He continued his documentary only when Frank wasn’t around. When it was completed, he shared it with Frank and the others. He apologized for the note and explained that he intended to use his camera, and his spray can, only for good from that point on.

Choose your own ending:

1.) Frank stabs Bret in the spine with a rusty, dull knife, paralyzing him from the waist down. After pouring gasoline all about Bret, he lights a match, eyes glazed over in rage. As he stares at the flame, he remembers his old friend. He understands he shouldn’t do this; Bret is not the reason his friend died. He blows out the match, with a tear in his eye, and shuffles towards the methadone clinic.

or

2.) They hug it out and become gay lovers.

The end.

Where can I get one of those ‘Lunch Bandit’ T-shirts? The local hipsters would be green with envy.

So ironic, it’s not / so unironic, it is.

Alright so if anyone’s interested here’s the whole story behind the camera graffiti.

It was the last day of this years Bonnaroo music festival, and I woke up to find my backpack stolen from my campsite. I found some of the contents strewn about the ground, but not the backpack itself or my camera that was inside.

After a few hours of traveling to various lost and found sites and making signs promoting a reward for its return i s decided to go on with my life, but that I needed to leave a message for the culprit in the vague hope that they would see it.

So I spray painted the message on a wall right near the front of the concert area entrance so that anyone who entered would probably read it.

And honestly it did make me feel slightly better, though i did lose 3 days worth of awesome pictures.

My friends told me this morning that someone had submitted a pic of my graffiti to this site and it was cool. 3 Cheers for validation through the internet!

I love the guy in the car park note. I don’t know what I love more his nerve or his stupidity.

He will go park the car inclined leaving irregular space for the adjacent car. and then proceeds to wish that other guys balls fall off! (but what if she is woman?) because he could not get into the car.

Why did he write that he parked the car inclined? (Plain stupid?)
He can do whatever he want, including parking car inappropriately but it other guy’s responsibility to leave space for him to get in! (nerve?)

The photo from the bookstore and the description on the Flickr page don’t begin to do that place justice. From the photo date tag, it looks like the original photographer was there a couple of weeks before I was.

It’s basically a trailer in the lady’s front yard down in a “holler” as the locals would call it, 3 or 4 miles outside of Waynesville itself, absolutely stuffed floor-to-ceiling with books. The aisles were 1.5-2 feet wide at most; I could hardly turn around. Hanging through each aisle were various antique kitchen implements with sale markings, some of them sharp and hanging down at eye level (granted, I’m 6′4″, so that’s high). Almost every rack of books had a sign either mentioning an array of cameras to catch thieves or threatening them as pictured. All in all, a truly disturbing experience.

The “you are a real asshole” lady is mean. But… she has GREAT penmanship! Now I love her. I can only assume that it is a woman’s writing. Go figure.

Personally, I’m loving the office angst.

If you realize that the note writer is fully aware soda-swiper’s spouse is rather friendly with soda-swiper’s bestie, and this causes soda-swiper great emotional distress – what else could possibly be better revenge than upping that stress level? It will never end. Soda-swiper will go home and argue with his/her spouse, further alienating said spouse, until this wish or some other version of it actually comes to pass. It’s brilliant!

“Hope your balls fall off”. What sounds like a relatively simple yet unfortunate event – kinda like a pair of ripe apples might fall off a tree in autumn – is really so much deeper and complex. Would the balls rip through the scrotal sack as they are forcibly ejected or would the entire bag harden and shrink up prior to falling off like an over ripened seed pod? Maybe they would bust through the scrotum and dangle at the end of the vas deferens for a ridiculously long and painful week until they were cut free with a pair of kitchen shears. Who knows? All i know is that it embodies the spirit of PAN.

You know, that would be a fascinating study for ecologists all over the world (considering that the object of study can be found everywhere).

Seeds dispersal would have a whole new meaning after that.

Oh, and by fascinating I mean… Nevermind.

Maybe Miss Crooked Parking shouldn’t have parked her SUV in a compact space (as I often see). My suggestion for the note recipient: http://www.xkcd.com/562/
