Meth is a helluva drug.
And I thought I was the only one who did that ;-)
It is. But there's another possibility: I've seen a lot of Final Destination movies. She might have been right. I'd get off right then too.
‘Empty chair syndrome’.
I had a Air Force associate tell me this story from late 1980s. He was forced to be an instructor at a school requiring a security clearance to be a student. He had some 18-year old, who’d passed via basic training and was about six weeks into this technical training program.
The gal failed a test, and he was told to review her notes. Oddly, she had a lot of unique figures along the sides of the notes, and her writing made it difficult to read. He asked if she could read it herself, and she responded that ‘Wendy’ could read it.
Ok. They enter back into the class and everyone is sitting there, and he reviews the listing of names for people in the class. No ‘Wendy’.
He notices that there’s a chair empty by this gal he talked to, and walks to the back of the room and asks about ‘Wendy’. He’s told ‘Wendy’ sits in the empty chair.
He had spent a year working for a NY City mental clinic prior to the Air Force. He walks out and goes to the commander. Freaks the commander out, and they hustle her to some clinic on base. Air Force spent a month determining that she’d always had the empty chair ‘friend’. Discharged her and ensured that the parents knew about her issue.
That's a good solution! However, I prefer mine: I carry a full-sized Civil War saber, 3 pistols, and if shit gets too crucial, I detonate the bomb in my carry-on.
Pays to be prepared.
In a counseling situation, wife and I encountered a woman who frequents a website that insist that certain "TI"s ("targeted individuals") are being slowly cooked by microwaves trained on them by hostile forces. I think the website was called "peoplecookers.com", believe it or not.
I asked her why she, in particular, was "targeted".
She tossed her head and said, "Oh, so you think I'm unimportant?"
What if THEY are right and WE are wrong.
Just another crazy white female.
Seems many vaxed deaths that are recorded shows the vax-ey looking up, pointing and circling before collapsing and dying. A new symptom? Can now see in other dimensions (the spiritual)?
Laz's instant response: "Less important than a baby duck's asshole."
Reviews:
Roger Ebert: "Laz's quick wit once again steals the show. This is a must-see."
Frank Bobbington: "I laughed, I cried, I pooped my pants. It was much better than 'Cats'."
Raphael Abraham: "What can I say? It's just Classic Laz."
Corn Pop?
Was gonna say the same.
Too much lorazepam for flying nerves and too much booze for the same reason.
Makes people delusional, I’ve seen it happen a few times..
Anyone using the “F” bomb in the early 1960s was usually of the “White Trash” variety.
After Bobby Kennedy was murdered the news media blamed mild TV and movies for all the violence. So the TV shows that were safe for kids dumbed down to appease the new standards.
But the movie industry, still under the Hays Code, said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system, the first being GMRX.
With the Hays code gone, they reshot scenes adding lots of blood, guts , sex, most vile language to get the then coveted “R” and “X” ratings.(Now NR rating).
As a result, a new generation of young people have been raised listening to the most vile cursing ever in movies and think it is normal to drop such words in everything they say. The generations since 1968 have made a headlong rush to be considered “White Trash” by us oldsters.
Hey, Lazamataz — you’ve got a million of ‘em!
That looks alright to me.
I wonder what she meant by that MF back there is not real. What did she think he was? A ghost, a terrorist, a transexual, an alien from outer space, …?
***never happens on Greyhound***
Actually it has happened decades ago. Men got on a bus between OKC and Tulsa. A crazy man got on, and soon thought another passenger(a preacher) was a black radical so he shot him dead.
I still remember several loonies on the bus in Little Rock AR back in 1968-1969.
Haven’t taken a bus since.
That’s a good idea. I’m going to start doing that.
Ghost,alien,robot, take your choice.
