I just may be killing someone in our IT dept today if they don’t get the shit together. 463 < 500 last I checked.
Routine Traffic Stop
So, I drove in from a long Wichita shoot tonight. As I exited the highway, a cop pulls me over. I wasn’t speeding. I signaled. He says I failed to signal as I cut across two lane, but the second lane was an exit on ramp that was just beginning.
So, he asks me where I was headed, and where I was coming from. I tell him I’d rather not say, because that’s my right (see fifth amendment).
fifteen minutes later - there are now three cop cars behind me. The officer approaches again and demands I step out of the vehicle. I contest this decision, but am told I have no right to stay in my car. I exit and follow him next to a second officer.
I step out to find a drug canine, shepherded by the third officer, walking to my car. I suggest this is an illegal search, but apparently the dog can do a free air sniff without a warrant.
The cop tells me now that not only is he giving me a ticket for my lane change, but also one of my tag lights is out, so that’s an additional citation. I nod and accept my paper work, noting the court date, when I’ll be contesting everything.
The second cop is the “good cop”. He asks me about a bumper sticker, and acts like he cares. He tries to joke a little. They thought I was the real deal.
The dog sniffs around and finds nothing of course. The cop says I’m free to go. As I head toward my car, he asks me “why were you so obstinate?” I reply “I know my rights”.
This nothing short of fantastic, thank you Tom. I could have used this whit last Friday.
Amidst these tough Tumblr times I’d like to address a more serious issue, why is there Tag in my dad’s bathroom and why did he choose “After Hours”?
Never have I seen such an outbreak of “you’re wrong on the internet” in one day. A Tumblr fire breakouts once a month, today is a 4 alarmer.
Everyone continue… (grabs popcorn)
Am I Concerned?
Am I concerned about the recent and seemingly frequent hikes in the price of postage? Nope, that’s what my company mail machine is for.
I got this flier in the mail for a new pizza place in town and was inspired by their seemingly tireless use of quotations marks for added emphasis.
Don’t worry Aaron, you don’t have to ask for it. Malty was wrong by the way, my job is not easy!
Yahtzee!
For gratuitous picture of yourself Wednesday. I usually reserve these for later in the day, but I need a reminder that I MUST finish laundry this evening so this shirt never happens again.
TumblrFail, I’m really lobbing one up for you on this one.
I might be able to start a second career as Maureen Fischinger or Maureen Fishinger
It has been wrong so many times, especially in the irreversible printed matter, that these people should be fairly well-known by now.
I as well carry aliases of Arron Thacker or Aaron Thatcher and sadly I don’t even fight it anymore.
