so.
there was a fire drill. at work. remember those from when you were in school? remember the joy of getting out of class? and the being outside? it was a lot like that, except now i'm older and the getting up is more of a pain than the not working. not to mention that the fire alarm in our building is reminiscent of a banshee giving birth to a five year old cow with turrets. that's not as cool as it sounds. oh. it doesn't sound cool, you say? exactly. it's less cool than that.
well i decided that i'd boogy on down to jimmy john's and get my freaky fast on, cuz i was hungry. so after the alarm noise was done, i jumped in the ride and scooted. as i was heading down to the jj, a 5-0 rolled by with lights and sirens, and everyone pulled over. seemed pretty normal. cops on the prowl. right on.
i keep heading down plymouth road, and i'm about ten yards away from the nixon intersection when low and behold a crazy arse mofo rolls out of the intersection peeling out and leaving smoke and rubber all over the place. i was like, 'slow your roll.' he did not. as soon as that thought leapt from the brain, 5 of the ace's finest roll after him in high pursuit, again with lights and sirens. everyone in the intersection froze. we sat there for like an entire minute. we were all witness to a car chase. what the what?
here's a link - driver leads police in high speed chase
i get my jj. think that things like that whole car chase are mad crazy. i'm recovering.
i go to the intersection to go back to the office and stop at the light. as i'm waiting there, in the other direction, a lady is sitting at the other turn light waiting to go, but i guess she's too far back for the sensor to read her vehicle. the dude in the truck behind her gets out and starts yelling at her to move up so the light will change. then, instead of doing that, she just turns on the red.
craziest half hour i can remember in my life.
i was so too sober. sheesh.

Dude your day was way more exciting than mine. I went to work, then took a nap. Right on, I guess. You went for the exciting day of banshee birthing and car chases-I went for a classic day of naps and frozen pizza. I'm curious, how does the fire alarm compare to the air system at the vineyard? I have the feeling its not as awesome at the vineyard. Now I need to go to U of M and start a fire just to hear what it WOULD be like to witness a banshee giving birth to a 5 year old cow with turrets. Blah. Sounds like too much work though so i won't. Disappointing. By the way-that quote is going on my facebook page. Good job, E-Knight.
Yeah, I would have to agree with Nadia, your day was better than mine. I was told by my boss that I have to play nice with my jack-ass co-worker. I also spent the day trying to figure out how to quit my job, and wondering about where I would go work at next.
and they didn't even catch him. silly aapd.
right?
I had a similar moment a little over a month ago. I was coming home from workin a Midnight at the State, so it was late. Like 3 AMish. Anyway, I was coming up Main St near the stadium. I look in my rearview and see this dude SCREAM out around the corner behind me. If I had gone through that intersection 5 seconds later, I'd have died. So he comes up flying around me and I'm like what the fuck is his problem. As soon as I could think "I hope this yahoo gets pulled over" a cop car, no lights/sirens also flew past me.
So they are both gone. But as I come to the top of the hill near Pauline, I hear a crunching sound. Driving alongside the Big House, I looked up ahead and noticed his car had wrecked into the phone pole on the corner of Main and Stadium - he was more or less in Wireless Toyz' parking lot. I see the cop pulling up on him and I'm chuckling from the whole ordeal.
Then the dude catches us both off-guard. He hops outta the car and takes off on foot! Right as I drove by I saw the cop giving chase through someone's backyard. I was like whooaaa!! I even slowed down since no one else was on the road, but after a second they were gone into the night.
I never looked in the paper to see if they had something about that.
Hopefully they at least CAUGHT this one...
