not by mistake, mind you
no, one of the guys at work
has been out for a week
because his mother died.

He and I started the same
day in the training program
given to new programmer-hires

There are only 4 of us that
started together left at the
company. and we've eaten lunch
together every day for 4 years.

he doesn't live far
and I drive by his house
almost every day

I noticed the yard looked rough
so, after work, I put my mower
in the Passat's trunk and drove over

it didn't take long to mow
and looked 1000% better.
a lot of his neighbors came out
and watched me mow

that was damn creepy

after I finished
I popped open the bottle
of Izze Blackberry soda
I had squirreled away in
the car's console and
smoked a cigarette while
waiting for the lawn mower
to cool before loading it

Just as I was about to pull away,
his wife, kids, & dog pulled up

I turned the car off and stayed
to chat with her for awhile.

Then I headed home and weed-eated
my own yard.

yeah!

Izze's, Camels, & VW

Oh, and my lawnmower is
a Craftsman bagger with
frontwheel drive and a
7.0 Horse Briggs & Straton!

so, I could do four!

not to mention the Abercrombie
shirt, levi's jeans, and Vans
I was wearing!

And to think, 8 years ago I swore up and down that that very combination
of clothing would make one spontaneously combust.

Bob, you're adorable! Some day I wanna be just like you. What are the
odds of that happening, though?

Don't worry. It doesn't work for other people, either.

Besides, getting laid only takes away from your time of posting to
Usenet.

that's true


and I've heard, that some people
actually use Usenet as means to
get laid!

perhaps I should explore that option?
