Have you seen a guy on a bike?

September 10, 2008

You might be messenger if you’re imitated and disrespected by the same people

You might be a messenger if you’re expected to know the answer to over 1.5 billion stupid questions

You might be a messenger if you’re so drunk they won’t sell you beer at Red Apple

You might be a messenger if you sleep with your key on

You might be a messenger if at least one member of your family believes you could be doing something more important with your life

2 King County Sheriffs and a MID ambassador
Yeah I copy you, 10-4
You’re coming through loud and clear
just like all the cell phone calls from Flight 93
fucking horseshit
Are you kidding me?
I called nine one one a long time ago

Don’t believe the hype

Bent forward at the waist, arms relaxed, head tilted slightly to one side. Utilizing the major muscle groups in the legs and lower back. No wasted energy. No reason to white-knuckle the bar. On the hoods, the flats, in the drops. Shifting effortlessly, depending on the situation. Subtle signals, indicators, body language. An unspoken communication among regulars and seasoned veterans. A nod, a wink, a raised finger is all it takes. One more for the road.

Life is too short to wait until 5:00

Hey MP, wish you were here...wish I was there or something like that. I listened to Donna and Josie and Kathy talk about box wine for about 29 minutes today waiting for a King County that coulda been yours. Cheers to you and all that shit.

You might be a messenger if your pretty sure you know which bar that is in the photo. Six Arms? It was near the hotel my sister in law likes. Sometimes around 4:20ish you'll find me at Darwin's, it's a silly place but I like it.

you might be a messenger if you can identify bars in photos from other cities. Cheers to you Mr. Dungan

Cheers to you mr. dungan and the joint with six arms. If you ever find yourself in the milwaukee area you should check out the swinging door, I hear everybody monitors with bricks.

Hey Carl, it's not that I think you're really hot. It's not that I have a crush on you on behalf of everyone West of the Mississippi. It's just that I'm practicing my arm positions, what do you think?
