Oh, One More Thing...

On Rt. 395 the other day, the right lane was a bit backed up because of a car going slow, below the 65 mph posted speed limit.

I got into the left lane, and as I came closer to the kindly old Gippetto on a Sunday drive car, I couldn't help staring. It was a little Kia type model, bright yellow with stickers and such ALL over it - indicating a love for everything Sponge Bob Square Pants. I absolutely HAD to see who was driving...

A mostly bald, apparently big man, with an earing, was behind the wheel. Now this was remarkable in my mind, which was instantly divided into two trains of thought:

#1. Either this guy had a HUGE set of brass ones. or

#2. He was a lunatic, the kind that would kidnap X and bring her to Vermont.

Being supremely appreciative of everything off the beaten path, I was sort of impressed with his non-apologetic way of telling the world: "I like Sponge Bob Square Pants, a lot". As X would say "own it". Cool, that takes a good amount of courage for a big grown man to profess his fondness for a cartoon, one I just happen to find annoying.

Or, is it not courage to be who he is no matter what - but nothing more than a grown man who has a child's fascination with this cartoon, and should be treated with caution?

Jury is still out on this one, folks.

Peace

Elf,
I doubt it was his car...did he have a painful look as if to say, "I am going to kill my so-n-so for having me drop this car off for her...."???

If not he was looking to take X to Vermont. HEY-N is from Vermont...why would something awful happen to X there? If you need a New England State that is rural go with New Hampshire-I know a few creeps there!
