Idiot Cashiers


What is it with these moronic cashiers these days. Several times over the last few weeks I have encountered these idiots with absolutely no common sense or math skills. They should definitely not be allowed to operate a machine that handles money. A lot of times if the amount that I owe is somewhere around $6.75, I will give them 12 dollars in hopes that I can get a 5 dollar bill back, instead of a bunch of ones which I can't stand. A move like this will completely baffle the 16-year-old behind the counter. They look at me like I have the fucking plague. They stare at the 10 and 2 ones that I give them for a good 30 seconds, then they give me back 2 dollars like I'm the fuckin moron. All you have to do is type in $12.00 in your little register and it should be pretty clear that I am getting back $5.25. Don't overthink it. Just type in 12 and then maybe the little light will go on in your head. Sometimes I try and explain to them what I am trying to do here, but most of the time it is a lost cause. They think I am somehow trying to rip them off by asking for a 5 or a 10 back for my change.

I am to the point where I don't even want to argue with these people anymore. I guess I will just have to resort to carrying around a pocket full of ones fatting my wallet as I try and make purchases. Maybe someday I will have enough ones to pay for something with only those. It would make life much easier for these dolts who can't figure out some simple math.

Chris Carzoli Appreciation Day


Today was first of what will hopefully become a national holiday....Chris Carzoli Appreciation Day. From his gambling habits, to his 290 yard 4-irons, and his propensity to go streaking at any time at the exchange of seeing any breasts...he brings it all to the table. This blog goes out to the one and only CC. That's him on the right. One half of the greatest ISU fan group ever created, Vromies Homies. God speed, CC, god speed.

ps. He also owes me a guest blog. I will be coming to collect soon.

Cal Woods, Man of the Hour


While partying it up at the annual 3rd of July Celebration in Valley Junction I had the pleasure of introducing myself to the one and only Cal Woods. That's right folks, THE Cal Woods. While walking past the string of caibos, out pops the face behind the local Fox News. Cal is so good he makes Ron Burgandy look like he belongs on a college local access show.

I had to stop him to let him know how big of a fan I really am...even though I never really watch the news, if I did, I would want my info to come from the tan man himself. He was most gracious in his having to deal with drunk people and even wished for our safety for the rest of the night. I now must say move over Kevin Cooney, there is a new sheriff in town in these eyes, and he goes by the name of Cal Woods.
