For those of you who are here every day, you know yesterday was a big day for Doug. He got everything straightened out with the Po-Po’s and wasn’t even underarrested in the process.
Overall, I considered the day a big success. However, once we were in the car today it was obvious to me that today was really his day to celebrate.
Our house is about 5 miles from I-10 so we’re drive up and down it all the time. Since Doug has been driving with either expired tags or inspection sticker, or expired tags and an expired inspection sticker for as long as I can remember, he never goes through the U-turn lane under the freeway. That’s where the cops sit, just waiting for felons like Doug so they can give them a ticket. The bastards!
Instead we always just make a left turn at the light at the cross street, then another left at the next- which, when you put it all together, is a U-turn- the U-turn we couldn’t make because, well, you know. Go ahead and laugh- I know it’s ridiculous. (If I’m driving, I always make U-turns, but then I’ve never been a fugitive.)
So today, when we needed to go the other way on I-10, Doug just made a U-turn, like every other normal person in the world.
What a moment! As he was driving through the turn he said “Fuck you trolls! You can’t get me!” I think I heard a choir of angels singing.
I laughed out loud. The next time he made a U-turn on I-10 today he went “Take that! Take that!”- all the while shooting the bird at no one.
That’s my guy.

i use a combo of shea butter and aloe vera moisturizer. Works great. I use shea butter on my lips, around my eyes and nose (dry areas), My father swears by vasoline.
p.s. I dropped your name on Gina's post, Barb. ;)
Well you — you continue on your road to hilarity — thanks. Sounds like you and Doug were made – and still are — for each other!! I have these mental visions of him collecting U-turns to hang from his belt!! Hi-larious!!!
I can see that Miss Maggie, like scalps! I will have to show this to Doug, Thanks.
This is hysterical! I love it…I have to say I can’t blame him! I think he’ll be making his U-turns for quite a while now…in fact, until his tags expire again and he forgets…and then…uh oh…
Thanks Pinkim. Doug’s good for awhile now. Do I expect to go through this again down the road? Oh yeah.
Oh boy…here I thought this was going to be about unwanted posters o VN..I did enjoy a mornng laugh at the breafast table…
Unwanted posters? I’m confused Sunblossom. Speak slooowly to me.
Since I have to piggy-back off somebody else’s posts, I’ll answer for Sunblossom and hope she doesn’t mind. On internet message board sites, a troll is someone who tries to start arguments and then keeps fanning the flames to keep the argument going. I had the same thought Sun did when I first saw the title of this post.
And now for my own comment: BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! Go Doug, go!!! I could totally “feel” in your post what a kick you got out of Doug’s enjoyment while he was doing illegal U-turns, M. SO cute and SO hilarious.
I’m watching you Duffy. I know you’re just trying to have your way with me! BTW- The turns Doug was making yesterday were totally legit. Did I imply that they weren’t? Glad I could give you a laugh. Tell Mr. Jim hi from me.
Have my way with you?!? O_O
I thought you would’ve realized I was just joshing young one.
Nuh-UH – no way – I know just how kinky you are, you were serious.
BTW- Thanks for that explanation. As you can tell, I was totally clueless. When are you going to talk to VN about their glitch with you?
I did on like Day One. They tried to help via e-mails, then they actually CALLED me. It’s MY computer, meigler. Gotta wipe the harddrive clean one of these days soon and get Vista off it, install XP instead since I actually own a CD with that MS operating system on it. I’m not about to pay to upgrade to Windows 7, not a chance in hell.
Anyway, it’s MY computer, not any problem with VN. That’s the important part of what I said. And you’re welcome for the “troll” explanation.
Got it. Thanks.
