Today, after the power was back up, and I was properly nourished. Me Bashtard and Pul[sic] (ask Inari Vachs) decided to go out for some gleaming. As always we hit the Parklawn/Lake Shore path and then veered off into the CNE detour.
Now for those that don't know, the CNE is suppose to have it's grand yearly opening day today. But due to a small catastrophic power failure, that planned has been axed, and at the earliest they'll be opening on monday. So right now the place is filled with rowdy carnies and pissed off, minimum wage earning kids, sitting on their asses. Today whilst gleaming through this boiler pot of tension we managed to get into an altercation with security... wait I'll rephrase that to: Bashtard had an altercation with security(more details on this can be had on his blog).
After said altercation we left CNE grounds and headed back to the car on Parklawn. The crappy hot humid day had taken it's toll and we were ready to call it a day. As an aside: I was glad I took that towel advice from Towlie and brought a small hand towel with me to wipe the sweat of my brow. Thanks Towlie ;)
On the way back to the car I was caught off guard by a pinecone in the middle of the sidewalk. And by off guard I mean the god damn pinecone jammed into my wheels and caused me to fall onto my left knee, which is already bruised and scabbed from my wipe out on tuesday. Needless to say that hurt like a bastard, the scab cracked open, there was blood flow. But being the he-man that I am, I just took the pain and kept going. And even with all the physical anguish I was going through, I still managed to lay down a pretty good snap on Bashtard.
He took his shirt off to air out, and put it around his head or some such nonsense. Then he asked "K how can I make this look cool?" (in reference to not looking like a rere in front of the ladies). My reply was "Put your shirt back on", ohh lord did we laugh at that one. Even he had to admit that it was a classic snap.
After the gleam was over, I ripped off my boiling hot blades and aired out the dogs. Then we headed down to the office to partake in whatever shenanigans were going on.
As we're getting into the office parking lot, we see a slow moving vehicle coming towards us. We (me and Bash) figured it was Mikey and Mel coming up towards us so we slowed down to see into the car. At this point a bright maglite blinds us, coming out of the drivers side. We tell them to fuck off with the light but they continue to flash it, and they are playing this stupid, security guard asking dumb questions game. So we try and bust their balls while they are busting ours. Eventually I say okay asshole enough with the light I'm going blind. So the driver turns out the light and gets out, and it turns out to be a cop she holds out her badge and says "See heres my badge, I'AM a cop!" (we had claimed otherwise during our 'ball busting' exchange). So she's all pissed now and asking for our drivers license. After she runs us through her computer she comes back and asks us "Where do you work again?". I being Mr Smooth, pulled out a business card and did my Pat©-ented 2 finger card pass, and said "Right here", while giving her a little "From right here Baby" head nod. She took the card looked at it and said, "Okay great thanks" or something to that effect and left.
After that whole ordeal we get inside and wait around with Mel for a while. Then DC calls me and scolds me for putting up this blog entry while everyone was waiting to leave. I point out that no one was getting ready to leave or indicating that they wanted to leave, but he had none of it. Being shook up after this exchange I wept, and then we gathered everyones things and left. The plan was to go over to DC's place and chill but the thought of trying to TTC it home the next day, in it's current crippled state, lead me to discard that Idea. Instead me and Bashtard headed to Sizzlin Jacks to get some omelets.
Now I'm finally home, and so ends my great adventure for day 2 of the Great Blackout of 2003.
