Wordforgers on your mind during odd moments

Have there ever been moments that remind you of this place or people here? Does your mind wander as you do your daily activities? I just got back from San Diego (actually my wife and I are at my mother in law's place, but we're close to home) and was thinking of this.

* When we took the trolley to the Padres game, I was wondering if a large person would sit next to us and/or on us.

* When I saw a couple of pretty gals at Sea World holding hands I thought of teh Baba.

* I saw a score on the out of town scoreboard at the ballgame that said "DET 11, TEX 4" and thought of Tex and Chris. I took a picture and was going to use it to start a thread about "TEX loses", but the camera must have fallen out of my pocket on the way back to the hotel.

* I saw some transients and thought of Volpone.

* When I had trouble communicating with the cashier at Burger King I thought of starkt and his frustration over the immigration issue.

* When we visited the Aerospace museum I thought of Marso and Forbin.

There's a building near here with the name "Packard" on it.

There's a town in Virginia named "Ruckersville" and a town in Wisconsin named "Dickeyville".

That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure there are other times.

I heard a story on the radio a couple of weeks back about a chihuahua being killed by a coyote and I thought of the Alberts.

This morning I splurged and got a bacon egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald's, but passed on the hash browns.

Made me think of farmer because he loves him some Mickey D's hash browns...

For those of you who I have an idea where you live, I think about ya when I fly into UR airports.

I think: "I'm in UR airspace, making noise and fumes!"

^ Ever fly into northeast TN any?

Every time I'm in the parking lot at work and I see a bizjet taking off over my head from Teterboro, I wonder if Marso is at the controls.

Every fly into Sacramento?

Typically Lexington, Memphis, Nashville, and occasionally other, smaller airports. Haven't been into TN super recently, though.

Week before last. Almost had a fucking midair coming into SAC a few years back- jackass in a bugsmasher cutting right across the runway centerline about two miles from the approach end. TCAS went off and we had to maneuver vertically to avoid hitting him, which of course shot our approach profile all to hell. I had pax in the back too, so it pissed me off but good- a real Forbin traffic moment!

Bugsmasher? As in a cropduster?

Cropdusters around here are a bit nuts. Our office building got a scare about two weeks after 9/11 - cropdusting plane headed right for the top floor and pulled out at the last second.

Turned out to be a guy trying to impress his girlfriend who worked there. FBI was not amused.

All the time. In fact I talk about ya'll a lot too.

Zel feels like he knows a lot of you too just because of my stories.

For example:

Every time we go by anything Joshua Chamberlain we start laughing and talking about Elwood for instance. There is a large statue of him near his house in town that we wave at and say "Elwood says "Hi"" everytime we go by and laugh at how we imagine he'd react to it.

And yes...we are freaks.

I also find myself looking for Dickynoo when I go out as well. Just in case.

WF is a big part of my life.

Honestly, who among you doesn't think of me when they see a Wendy's?

I think of Stallion and laugh heartily whenever Scotland are getting their customary thrashing by whoever their opponents happen to be. :england:

I like to think the ladies of WF have ol' Noodles on their mind when they're in the sack.

I just saw golfer Brian Gay on CBS and thought of evenflow...

I'm sure the next time I'm chloriformed, tied in a sack and tossed on a trunk, I'll be thinking of you, Ramen.

The other night I saw a gay couple on 6th street having a spat and one of them slapped the other.

I thought "Ha ha. Volpowned."

Well, if you ever fly into McKellar-Sipes, lemme know.

Imagining that all of you are just random words on a screen with absolutely no relevance in the real world is the only way to stay sane

After usurping evenflow's land and women, next stop is Maine.

Sanity is for the unimaginative.

I often think of Gagh at odd moments during the day especially when someone does something very silly for no reason and they keep doing it for no reason as well.

He should have stolen the plane and met us at Shiloh.

You ain't never been to Flint, have ya?

Anytime I see a gaysian(and believe me there are a lot of them in Storm's neighborhood... they always seem to be leaving his house in fact ) I think of Ramen and Scorp.

Edited for accuracy.

I'm supposed to be intimidated by a man named after a noodle?

A huge slab of man-meat isn't any good when it's just hanging there limp.

Around Teterboro and Newark, that's a drop of water in an endless sea.

There is this really hot European girl at my school. Really tall, tanned, raven hair.

I sometimes hear her talking on her cell phone to family members and it sounds like she is speaking German but I don't really know for sure.

Every time I see her I wonder if Cass has any younger sisters she doesn't know about.
