myriad of the mundane

10.22.2005

well, all, today i finished rebuilding my carburetor. my bike is sounding so amazing right now that it makes me smile like a maniac. also, i'm now legal to ride the little thing whenever it's light out. it's the tangible sense of freedom that i've worked for that's making me so happy with this whole thing.
tomorrow i have to show the state of washington that i can properly wash somebody's ass then i'll be able to work as a NAC. past that i have a belay shift and...nothing except another joyride. i love riding now that i'm doing it.
oh, and geezer, my bike is the exact same thing as a postie bike.


so how are you all doing?
i'm quite interested. oh, and shoopska, have any really good irishisms? because i've been enjoying them so far. any chance i could get some of those sugar packets to go with my irish breakfast tea in the morning?

that is all.

  • Is that certified nurses assistant...nac? It's cna here...just wondering if it is the same thing. Ass washing being a prerequisite. Glad that you are head-over-heels with the bike though. It's a bummer to not like ones wheels.

    2 wheels can be brill.i had scooters for over 10 years (200cc) and loved every minute of it.

  • you got it, geezer. is it linked to your account, still? i hope so.
    and yeah, i'm going to get two wine cases, shellack them, put two hinges on one side and a little lock on the other then line it with the rubber you put on the inside of ponds that's 1/16th of an inch thick or so so that the whole thing will keep all my stuff dry. it'll be a blast. and the gears are a bit wierd. i really love it, though, because it's the only bike i know how to ride as of yet.
    and sumo!!! i love you, did i mention that? and you're quite right. and it's CNA everywhere else in the fucking nation( including colorado), i swear, we're just backwards here. having a good time with the politics yet? god is it getting hot in the white house. like a pressure cooker that's all ready to explode.

  • Do we really think something will happen though? It's too good to be true. I know watergate happened...and I personally feel this is far worse than watergate...but there are soooo many spineless people.

  • i'm running out of irishisms actually, cos they're just getting more normal... "silence is golden" and the like.

    and i've been rifling through the sugar box like some freak who can't decide between one seemingly identical packet and another (i swear, i'm the only one here who's noticed the gold on them thar sugar tubes...)

    but the good news is, we found a book of corkisms, which are even better than the irishisms, so am planning to start running that as an occasional series.

    just to whet your appetite...
    "cop on" = "common sense".
    can be used as a noun or a verb
    eg "ah, cop yourself on boy" -
    have some common sense.
    (they use boy for males of any age here, it's the equivalent of mate in oz)

    i would like some more details on how you actual wash someone's ass properly, white hype. is it all in the wrist? or could it be that sponge quality is really the key?

  • you're right, hun, but there is no fucking way they'll stay on as employees is they're indicted. he may be a criminal but he can't show that side to every single dumbass in the nation.
    shoops, it's all about the long stroke length and switching rags enough. we use washcloths. so what you do is pick out any large pieces of poo with one cloth and throw it in a plastic trash bag then you wash from the outside in, basically, working toward the anus until finally you get there and shout "Eureka!" then you put it all in the bag, toss it in the laundry and take off your protective gloves. easy as pie. although you won't want to have any baked goods after, trust me. and i actually have a thing for philosophisms, if that's even a word. i love the little things. for instance, Marx had a great little debate ending zinger: "go on, get out. last words are for fools who haven't said enough."

  • shoopska,take note of great whites bum wiping skills,ill probably need a hand when we come over for a visit.you know how disorientated i get.

  • geezer, you could fly me to ireland to wipe your ass anytime. i'd do a bang up job. but less bang and more up your crack. you know what's funny? properly wiping a butt is harder than learning to ride a bike. speaking of which...
    wow, chop, i'm sorry. tonight i had a nice little side slip on a manhole cover that almost tipped me. if it weren't for all my years of mountain biking i think i'd have dumped my little gal.
    and i totally have a thing for blondes, just look at my gf.
