Got NERPS?

(A young man asks for a ticket for an R-rated movie and hands me his ID. I’m about to sell him the ticket when the lady behind him speaks up.)

Lady: “Wait! That picture in the ID doesn’t look like him at all!”

(I look at the ID. It appears he’s been sick since the photo was taken, but it’s clearly the same guy.)

Me: “Well, ma’am, I’m fairly certain that this is the correct ID. Now, if you’d just step up–”

Lady: “No! You can’t sell to someone with a fake ID. He could be a terrorist, for God’s sake! You should call the police!”

Me: “Ma’am, that is definitely not necessary. I am responsible for checking identification, and I–”

Lady: “I need to talk to your manager!”

(I begin to respond, but the guy politely waves me off and turns to the woman.)

Man: “Miss, I have another photo ID here, with a more recent picture. Do you think this matches?”

(He pulls a card out of his wallet and hands it to her. She goes completely white.)

Lady: “Well… um… yes, that’s, uh, fine!”

(She squirms for a moment, then exclaims, “I’ll be right back!” She drops the card and leaves the theater in a hurry. I give the guy his ticket.)

Me: “What was that you showed her?”

Man: “Oh, my handgun permit.”

Few beginning have given me more trouble than this one...and I haven't even really gotten into the real plot yet. I think I redid this 7 or 8 times now. I think I like it...either way, I'm going to bed now.

Tom Horn sat on the bench with his hat in his lap. While it might have hidden the handcuffs, everyone else on the train could tell he was a prisoner anyway. The two men sitting across from him couldn’t have looked any more like lawmen if they tried.

“You shouldn’t have run, boy,” one of them said. “You put us through a lot of trouble to find you.”

“Don’t try to pin that on me, Sheriff Langtree,” Tom said. “I was plenty happy were I was in Las Cruces. It was your choice to come get me.”

“We got laws here in Texas, Tom. You just can’t go around shooting people.”

“Sheriff, Mr. Walton was waving a gun. He was going to shoot me.”

“Considering what you done to his daughter, I’m not surprised. At the very least, you shouldn’t have run.”

“They were fixin’ to hang me. If I didn’t run, I’d be in the ground by now,” Tom shook his head. “Besides, I didn’t do nothing to her that she didn’t show me how to do in the first place.”

“Tom, you know that gun wasn’t loaded.”

“Yeah, I know that now. If someone had told me that at the time, I wouldn’t have shot him.” He stared out the window at the dusty scrub rolling by as the train clacked along over the tracks. Having just stopped for water in Boracho, the train had passed through Kent, and was finally gaining speed again. The tracks ran mostly northeast from here until the next stop in Pecos.

Sheriff Langtree leaned in close. “Look, Tom, what did you expect Leon to do? He caught the two of you naked in the hayloft. Did you think he was going to ask you nicely to knock it off? No man wants to see his little girl like that.”

“Jesus Christ!” Tom shouted. He could feel everyone looking at him, but he didn’t care. “Martha Walton ain’t no ‘little girl.’ She’s two years older than me, God damn it.”

I've probably posted these before, but since she just started playing WoW...

Found thru Jason Santos on FB.

In the beginning Man created God; and
in the image of Man created he him.

2 And Man gave unto God a multitude
of names, that he might be Lord
over all of the earth when it was
suited to Man.

3 And on the seven millionth day
Man rested and did lean heavily
on his God and saw that it was
good.

4 And Man formed Aqualung of
the dust of the ground and a
host of others likened unto his
kind.

5 And these lesser men Man
did cast into the void. And
some were burned and some were
put apart from their kind.

6 And Man became the God
that he had created and with
his miracles did rule over all
the earth.

7 But as all these things did
come to pass, the Spirit that did
cause man to create his God
lived on within all men: even
within Aqualung.

8 And man saw it not.

9 But for Christ's sake he'd
better start looking.

UNH "Rave" outside the library

I just lost.

And so did you.

Today, I was crocheting while watching television, and thinking to myself how proud I was that I taught myself to crochet. Then, an episode of Golden Girls came on, and I watched that while I crocheted. I'm 24. FML
