Ziplocks come in MUCH bigger sizes than that.

2 1/2 gallon bag barely holds 2 pairs of pants
We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.

I used the wrong brand. And you're right about the pants. The ziplocks come in large sizes, and are useful. For other stuff, I use the Hefty One Zip, in the 2 1/2 gallon. The kind with the slider. I think it is easier to use.

Ugh. I had a drug dog refill my coffee once. I'll leave that for the cops to do. Yuck.
Jeez, Phil... I don't know which I would like less - the drug dogs filling my coffee cup, or the cops filling my coffee. Doubleyuck!!! (And I wouldn't put it beyond some of them...)

Yeah, to repeat - do NOT, repeat, do NOT crack a beer, light that fattie, do that line... ANYTHING that is verboten like that, in line. No no no no NO NO NO no NO!!!!!

The LEO's sit at the entrance. Just inside the forks. With night vision Binocs. They ARE watching you, and WILL nail your ass. Your chances of not getting borked are... how do they say... Nil.

We worked greeters one opening shift (and I'd do it again, yeehaw!) and WATCHED then do this - they were having a cop-o-matic field day... They even popped one poor SUV, the pasenger getting a little junk-to-face action with the driver, and they had them BOTH outta the car in the proverbial position. They thought she was snorting a line, not, um, *his* line...

Remember - the line is short. Hope is just the frack RIGHT there... wait a bit, enjoy that cold sodapop, have ye a smoke, and wait until you get all the way Home...

Trails,

Passing on the road

Post by Janet Planet » Mon Jul 05, 2010 11:27 am

Don't pass on the road once you're in the long line in or out.
If you pass one vehicle, there will be another immediately in front of you. Take a breath. You'll get there.
My husband was nearly killed in 2004 because the guy driving the van he was in felt like he was so much more important than everyone else he just had to get ahead.
