Ok, so I guess I should tell you that I've started watching
Weeds. I hate to say it, but it's become a bit of an obsession.
I hesitate to say that I'm in love again, because we all know where that leads.....
The series has had a good run though....I mean they
are on their 5th season, so perhaps they're immune. I've never really tested the limits of my show killing power, so we're in a bit of a grey area here....
In any event, Michael brought the series with him, and I've been watching them almost non-stop for 3 days or so now.
Well, less time to go to work and all, but you get the picture.
Let see, the show...
It's witty, it's dark, it's gritty and stark.
It's an exploration of the limits of human endurance, and it's about the depths of a mother's love.
It blurs the lines between right and wrong.
If you can find the time, I highly recommend you give it a look. I'd Netflix the 1st season or 2 before you try and watch anything current tho. I'm only on the 3rd season, and so much has happened that you'd be totally in the dark without some background.....
Ok, enough deep stuff.
On to the funny.
You all know my friend, L. Well, actually,
none of you know L....Well, Michael does, and my Mom's met her, but you know what I mean....
Anyhow, she's looking for an air compressor for her S.O. for his upcoming birthday. I priced a couple at work for her, and she's been looking around Reno as well. So, about 10 minutes ago, she calls me and says 'I've got to tell you the funniest story.'
It seems she went into a Metropawn in Reno in search of the aforementioned compressor. The helpful salesman showed her the 3 that they had in stock. She, of course, is trying to get the best deal, and he quotes her '65 bux for any of these.'
Prudently, she asks about return policies and such, and the helpful salesman offers to 'fire it up right here and test it for you.' So, he sets it on the counter, plugs it in and turns it on.
Now, if you've never heard a compressor run, well then, you don't know that they're pretty loud. Even the smaller, affordable ones that she's looking at. So, it's cycling up, making a grand racket, and L notices that there's oil leaking. Well, just about the time she notices, and before she can say anything, there's a loud
*BANG* and a piece of the motor flies off.
Apparently, it was like the oil plug or something, because the compressor is now spraying oil
all over the fucking place.
Needless to say, she passed on that one, and will prolly be coming down to see me at work. See, she trusts me.
She also knows where I live.....
Anyhow, she shared, and I had to pass it along.
Buenos con queso,
T.
