Whoever came up with the design for packaging men's dress shirts should be publicly executed. Pins, hanging tags, tabs, plastic pieces, cardboard, tissue paper, stickers, ribbon, and thread. About 15 minutes to unpack a shirt. Jaysus, unhooking a girls bra is child's play in comparison. :(
Yeah. Why do they need all of that?

I remember! Dead of Night! I liked it so much that I watched it twice last October :) Is it sick that I'm sort of looking forward to trying to beat last year's record of creepy movies watched?
my post above, lol! No! You should save them for our October marathon month of creepy movies!

It's: THE FARMER'S IN THE FIELD! GO THE OTHER WAY! FRIDAY
there was this once (I've told variations of this story...and this might be one. :) but there was this once, the old man and I were heading down to Misery Bay, a place that really exists, so I'm good to go. We're going to meet with a potential customer, estimate. I forget what the job was. Misery Bay is now all built up, but at the time...I think I was eleven, the old man, who knows how he was at the time, he was always white-haired...hair turned white day...crew cut, wore a cap, good thing. Is that it there, he asks, the old Dodge bomber's muffler rumbling as he steps on the clutch and brake. With the old man, you didn't speak, not even when you suspect you were being talked to. If I want you opinion, I'll ask, he'd say. I kinda shrug. We're looking down a two-track and he kinks the wheel and we mosey ahead. The wind was blowing in off the big lake and the old farmhouse was set a ways back. No vehicles around, but there are out-buildings. Door creaks as the old man opens it. I hesitate, then get out.


We're walking over to the porch when an upstairs double hung is flung open. You could hear the cast-iron sash weights rattling inside the jambs, no screen on the window, the glazing coming off on the outside, a piece falling as an even older man leans out and yells, "The farmer's in the field! Go the other way!"

The old man...my old man looks at me, his nose scrunched up. Whud he say?

He turns back to the old man, his hands on the sill, his upper body sticking out the open window. We're looking at the older old man. His eyebrows were long and white, face wrinkled, face was red, too. He had the look of perpetual anger.

"The farmer's in the field! Go the other way!"

When I look at my old man, he has his upper plate half out of his mouth. He'd do this from time to time, teeth resting on his bottom lip, the gum portion of the upper plate plainly visible. He sucked the plate back in and shrugged. I shrugged. We turned and went back to the truck. No clue where the farmer is, or where the field is, but he's there in the field, so best go the other.
