wearing goggles in safeway

**snow2knight** · 03-17-2004, 09:14 AM

My wife and I were cracking up last night talking about weird stuff you see during spring break.

Some "dudes" were in the Fraser Safeway shopping yesterday afternoon wearing their goggles. We busted up, made me think what other weird stuff do you see.

Guys driving around with helmets on, ....

how about some maggot stories??

Friend of a friend likes to go out in his convertable 'vette w/ a racing helmet on, just to see the look on people's faces.

A guy came up to me at Loveland on Monday and said, "Dood sweet skis." He then picked up his pant leg over his ski boot and showed me a wrap around Volkl tattoo on his shin and calf.

There was a guy clomping around the Albertsons in Sandy in his ski boots recently.

Reminds me of when I was a kid driving home from VT with my dad, his girlfriend and her 2 kids. We all had our ski goggles on and my dad had a chicken bone hanging out of his mouth.
We would wave at passing cars.

It cracks me up remembering some of the looks we got.

Gonz and I duct taped an entire monopoly set: board, pieces and housing, to the ceiling of the car on our drive to colorado because it was the only way to keep everything in place while the car was moving. Monies were kept under the glare flap but everything else was taped to the ceiling, including deeds. Great way to pass time on a long trip.

On a bitterly cold day at Owl's Head, a buddy and I headed into the bar for a game of pool. The ski boots weren't the funny part. My buddy being too lazy to go upstairs to get his glasses and therefore playing the game with his prescription goggles was.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and kicked his ass),

I remember one time I saw a guy at a stop light w/ goggles on. I thought it kind of strange being Tacoma and the middle of May. I scoped him a little harder and realized that he had no windows in his truck. It was a '73ish ford w/ not one window, no windshield, no side windows none. He had a load of bricks in the back and was on his way to get a job done I guess. I laghed pretty hard at that one.

If your car has no windows/winsheild is it street legal? What if you wear goggles?

**JMO** · 03-17-2004, 10:37 AM

I saw a bunch of guys at the Long Trail Brewery last weekend with their Oakley shades on - indoors. Not that weird, just kinda funny. It was a bachelor party and they were all tanked by noon.

I worked in a rental shop for years, so I think I've seen it all.
Here's a quick list:

Two left or Right boots, typically worn for a day or two before complaining.

Shoes, yes shoes, inside boots. Rented them in Texas or whever and got em extra big so they would fit.

Four pairs of socks. It's freakin 50 outside.

Duct-taped ass on Wranglers, so you don't get wet, ya know?

Passing a Surburban with Texas plates, second set of windows are unrolled halfway with skis sticking out the windows and people piled like a smuggling operation, wonder how far they drove like that?

The daily, I couldn't find my skis, so I took this pair will you make them fit my boot? (Guy isusually holding something vastly different than the K2 three he rented.)

Having to repeadtly tell people not to put their skis on while standing on pavement, and telling them to stop attempting to ski over the pavement and into the shop door.

Really irate fat guys, hopping mad at the fact that there are literally no skis left to rent.
"Sir, did you reserve your plane tickets, hotel, etc? "
"Well of course!"

Watching someone get a hummer stuck in the parking lot. It hasn't snowed in two weeks, and you got a hummer stuck???

Demanding money back when it's crowded, snowing, too bright, too warm, too cold, I'm tired, It's hard, and an amazing aray of other idiocies. BTW didn't anyone tell you it's a sport, not a lazy boy?

All I can think of right now.

Oh did see a truckload of Gap looking Texas kids all buying Jack Daniels Wine coolers at the LQ last night, WTF?

I had two friends that would always try and outdo each other with stupid jokes. One started bolting a coffee cup to the roof of his car and people driving by would point and shout about the coffee cup. The other out did him by bolting a childs car seat to the roof and people were losing their minds thinking that there could actually be a child in there.

Both guys were sons of cops.

On occasion, I may have been known to go through toll booths with a gummy worm hanging out of my nostril......

Ohhhhh, you meant the car, not the act. Funny what a difference a capital "H" can make...

Now that would put a whole different twist on "stuck". Can you imagine the call for help? Wonder if that would make it to one of those OnStar commercilas.

Sorry boys, didn't mean to mislead you into a braces stuck incident.

Onstar commercial, maybe the Dave Chapelle show could parody it.

While I was driving back through the California ag inspection myself and the seven other girls in the van were topless (they kept their bras on

).

Me: Good afternoon sir.

Ag officer: Got any fruits or vegables from out of state?

Hot girl in shotgun: Just these melons. (squeezing her breasts)

Ag officer, clearly annoyed: ... ... anything else?

Me: No.

Ag officer: Have a nice day.

If I worked there, I would never get tired of that joke.

Two drops......

Umm...didn't I meet you at the summit? If you are who I think you are, no offence, but you are one butch of a girl...

Sick and ashamed and happy (and I like melons),

**DJSapp** · 03-17-2004, 03:12 PM

gin, we did meet, and FACK OFF!!!!

For that whole trip to seattle and back, I basically became a girl. 33 hours of hell, 1 hour of hell with a nice view.

**Buster Highmen** · 03-17-2004, 03:13 PM

I went to the airport in swimfins, bathrobe, cowboy hat and rhinestone hornrimmed sunglasses. Does that count?

Now that was funny.

DJ, were those the clarinets or the flutes? And please don't tell me that you were also topless. That's almost as bad as me being topless.

driving up I-70 yesterday; Texas plates, 2 boards, and 2 pairs of skis in roof rack, all 4 have the boots in the bindings, and 2 of the 4 boots are covered in plastic bags. Driver is wearing his goggles sideways on his head and decides to throw me and my buddy the "Shaka Brah "
