Another one I've had great fun using is the "Hey, It's Me!" wave. When someone is about to cut you off or is otherwise being a douchebag on the road, nod your chin up, and wave your hand a bit as if the person should recognize you. They'll think you're a friend, neighbor, teacher of their kid, whatever, that they didn't recognize at first. They'll stop cutting you off, or let you into their lane so you can get off an exit, whatever, and as you go by, you can either give them the "fooled ya" sign or...the finger. If they've already completed the bonehead maneuver they'll be all worried about who you are.

Damn - that's awesome! I can't wait for someone to cut me off in traffic!

Can someone else agree to meet TM or someone so that we can get through 1200ish more posts? TYVM.

I'd meet him, but a) I already judge my appearance to be lacking in a lot of respects so I don't need anyone else to do it and b) I've already met him and I like him quite a bit.

We'd end up drinking beer and shooting the shit. It wouldn't be eventful enough to warrant 1200 more posts.

I just never paid attention to the sign up sheets. I admit, that is somewhat assholey.

I'm the kind of person who adapts. If I signed up and someone took my machine, I'd just move to something else. I'm not into enforcing anyone's "rights" all that stridently, even my own. That's probably why people take advantage of me at work. If an assistant wouldn't do something timely or do it at all, I'd just do it myself. I just figure, I don't want to deal with anybody'r "rights" or "duties" or any of that crap. I just want to do what I want to do and be left alone. So actually, honestly, I don't read any rules. They'll crop up if I violate them and make thmeselves known.

Is there something wrong with not wanting to deal with that sort of stuff. Why do I have to know yard markers if I can eyeball what club I should hit? Why do I need to know street names in manhattan if I have a kinda-photographic memory for things and can find my way based on landmarks? I think I have dyslexia because anything with a graph or a pile of directives on it just turns to a blur in front of my eyes. I'm hopeless to fill out forms of any kind. And you people just make fun of me for it. Which hurts.

Just to the left of the machine, which is against a wall.

Bite your tongue. Of course not.

Sebby, you'd have a better chance of being left alone if you made minimal efforts to avoid people.

I do, but I can't fit a gym into the basement.

BTW, I'm not kidding. I think I have dyslexia. I can read words, but I get lost on graphs and maps. I mean, I really can't read the stuff and get totally confused looking at it.

Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little sheet, the one that says "Sign Up for Aerobic Machines"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before: Flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. What's this guy making such a big stink about reserving exercise machines? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without health clubs, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to lose weight, but what about that fat girl, walking in, only has an hour, right now, in a health club and finding some cat on the machine for the whole hour she has? Doesn't SHE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about signing up or going over your time, you'd better think again. This is about that chubbo's right to work the machine without getting her time wasted! Or: maybe that turns you on, Sebby; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies. Well I got a flash for ya, joy-boy: Party time is over. Y'got a half hour, Sebastian.

Ya know. As difficult as I am I sign up dutifully and wait patiently. Maybe I am a lemming, who knows. Maybe it is the obedient thing? I am so not a rebel.

b-n-b, brace yourself

My sister called with breaking news that Bruce and Patti split. Apparently, a 9/11 widow caught his eye.

ETA: And she's a redhead.
