5-14-2011 Heard some SR71s are going to be sold surplus .hope my bid wins!
5-20-2011 Well, I didnt win the SR71 auction. Some guy from Venezuela, (the only other bidder) out-bid me by $19,999,500.
5-21-2011 Okay, the SR71 story hasnt ended yet. Its gone into bazaaro world. Too much to print here, so I posted the story on my Notes page.
Last night, I was eating a Hostess Cherry Pie & drinking a glass of milk while watching The Office. I get a call from an unidentified caller. The guy has a thick accent and introduces himself as Hugo, the guy that won the SR71. Im thinking He wants to sell it to me at a profit. But, NOOOOOO! He just wants to gloat! I couldnt believe it! The jerk just wants to freakn rub it in.
Hes going on and on about how hes the winner and Im just a big fat loser! Then he goes into a rant of how all Americans are dumb and that hes smarter than everyone! Im thinking, No way! This cant be real. It was a VOIP call, so I traced his IP address and sure enough, the call originates in Venezuela!
Anyhow, I tell Hugo that hes the idiot that bid 19 million more than he had to, and good luck finding JP7 to fuel the thing. This got him all fired up and he starts ranting that he really doesnt have to pay for it cause hes buddies with Obama, and If I knew what was good for me Id keep my mouth shut.
Now, I realized who this was! So I baited him saying, Yeah, it must suck living in a country with such weak leadership. He confirmed my suspicions by going on a rant about how Venezuelas President is solid as rock and tough as steel. I said, Youre not really the communist-dictator-tough-guy that you think you are His reply was simply Oh yes I am! I said, No, youre really a New Jersey-Metro-Sexual who walks around with his shirt untucked and sleeves pulled half way up his forearms. That sent him into orbit! He started screaming like squealing pig, using a language I didnt recognize. I think I heard AK47 fire in the background. It reminded me of one of those WWII movies where its April of 1945 and someone tells Hitler they really arent winning the war.
Then he says, Im gonna have Obama deport you. To which I replied, You must not be very good buddies with him, otherwise youd know that all I have to do when his goons come to get me, is say I have no ID and only speak Klingon Theyll just walk away Ha ha, you must be the dumbest dictator in the world
That ended the call. He just made the comment, I hope you really wanted that SR71, cause Im going to crash it into your house. I replied, I triple-dog-dare-you Yugo!, and gave him the GPS coordinates of my house. (I called him that even though he probably never heard of a Yugo before).
So, I spent the rest of last night filling the house with popcorn. Today Im gonna wrap the exterior with like a hundred layers of bubble wrap. Wont Hugo be surprised when his crash is just a nice soft landing? Looks like Im getting my SR71 after all!
5-24-2011 Well, this morning @ 5:45, Im walking out the front door with Jack, my Beagle-Lab mix and I hear a woooooooSHHHHHHHH! CRASH!!!!! Followed by a cloud of dust rising from the back yard. So I walk around the house to the back yard only to find a giant hole in the ground where my shed once stood. Pieces of shed were scattered all over the place. Im thinking what the? Then I noticed pieces of titanium scattered among the debris. THAT FREAKN IDIOT CHAVEZ HIT THE SHED INSTEAD OF THE HOUSE!
The jet must have been going about mach 8 when it hit, cause it augered into the ground about 300 feet, taking all of the contents in the shed with it. Dirt bikes, snow blower, lawn mower .gone. No explosion or fire, just dust. Must be because JP7 doesnt really burn that well. Then I hear a noise and look up to see Hugo clinging to the top of a pine tree like a bear cub. He must have ejected just before impact because his chute was tangled in the trees above him. I yelled up to him, I GUESS I KNOW WHAT THE OPPOSITE OF A SMART BOMB IS YOU MORON!!!!
I turned to get my chain saw Oh crap, its in the 300 foot hole. Found my axe lying on the ground in the debris. As Im walking to the tree, Hugo removes his orange pressure suit boots and throws them at me. They had 6 thick platforms made of cork glued to them. In doing that, he lost his grip on the pine tree and the chute ripped lowering him slowly to the ground. I couldnt believe how short he was. Mr. communist-dictator-tough-guy only stood 52 without his platforms.
He takes off his helmet and throws it at me saying, Theres your F-n airplane. I replied, Thanks a lot Napoleon, whos gonna clean up this mess? Then he saw the axe and started grabbing for an ancient Tokarev pistol that had rusted solid years ago.
Suddenly, three black Suburbans screeched to a halt in the street next to my house. He took off running, with Jack biting at his heels. He ran pretty fast for how short he was. He looked like an orange wiener dog running on its hind legs. The door swung open and Hugo jumped into the back seat of the middle SUV. Then the three of them left as quickly as they came.
I just turned and took Jack for his walk.
What the heck am I going to do with all the popcorn and bubble wrap?
5-25-2011 More news hopefully the last of it.
Yesterdays clean up looked like it was going to take forever. I had no idea what to do with all the popcorn, so I decided to just shovel it out into the front yard. Shoveling was taking too long, (my wife told me I had to have the mess cleaned up by that evening), so I used a gasoline powered leaf blower. That baby made short work of a big job. What to do with all the popcorn once I got it out of the house became a non-issue, once every bird in the Northeast found out about it. My front yard was like a scene from Alfred Hitchcocks, The Birds. Crows, Finches, Sparrows, Jays, even some Ducks were in on it. But it was mostly Seagulls partaking in the frenzy.
While the birds were cleaning up the front, I was at work cleaning up the back yard, raking the remains of my shed into the hole left by the jet. I did, however, keep all the pieces of titanium. Its one of my favorite metals very light yet strong.
My cell phone rings with a call from some clown claiming to be President Obama. Yeah right! Says hed like to send his associate to give me a ride in an SR71 from Rochester to Washington. Ha ha, very funny TOM! . (My friend Tom is always making stupid calls like that). The guy on the phone says, Tom? My name is Barack Hussein Obama .My reply Bull-Duke! Prove it! Then he says, Turn on MSNBC. Im thinking, Yeah, thats right, MSNBC has him on 24/7.
So, I go inside and turn the channel to MSNBC & sure enough, theres Obama, just like every other time I turn on MSNBC. Except hes not standing behind a teleprompter equipped podium, pontificating like he always does. This time, hes sitting at a desk, talking on the phone while looking at a teleprompter.
I said, Alright, put the phone on speaker It took him 5 minutes & 3 disconnects while fumbling with the phone before an aide put the phone on speaker. Then I said, Okay, now stand up, and rub your tummy while patting your head. He stood & turned to look at the aide, who went through the motions described. Obama tried the same, and wound up patting both his head and tummy at the same time. Followed by a second attempt where he rubbed both his head and tummy. Okay, okay ..I know its you.
He then said he was concerned about my immigration status. That an associate of his had told him I was from Klingon, not Mexico. He gestured toward his associate who was in view, standing behind him. It was SO obvious that it was Chavez wearing a crappy disguise; consisting of a Skippers hat, corn-cob pipe and Ray-Ban aviators He looked like a Douglas MacArthur, bobble-head. Obama then went on to say that hed like to include my people in his new immigration policy.
I was in disbelief. Are you freakn kidding me?!!! Ive already met your associate and seen the results of his piloting skills! Thats when Hugo flipped me a bird, by fake scratching his nose with his middle finger. The ass-clowns at MSNBC didnt catch it and broadcast the vulgar gesture.
Obama then said, Well Id still like to discuss your immigration status. How about the three of us discuss it over a beer? I couldnt contain myself. Why dont you have your goons research my citizenship status?
They can look at my MIITARY RECORD, COLLEGE TRANSSCRIPTS, PASSPORT, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (of which I only have one), or my BIRTH CERTIFACATE . ALL will confirm that Im a LEGAL U.S. CITIZEN!!!! Not KLINGON or MEXICAN!
Of course MSNBC immediately broke to a special report about Lindsay Lohan before I even finished the word Military.
I guess I wont be getting that ride in the SR71.
