That shit ain't easy work at 24.

That shit ain't easy at any age, I remember how happy I was when we finally got a round baler

F'n A right.

The day we were done tossing idiot blocks was a great day.

The guy I worked for got a side-loader the second summer I worked for him. It was glorious.

 

[boozeman]

It wasn't easy work at age 14. But, I made pretty good money, 5 cents to load, 5 cents to unload.

More Sling Blade voice in my head.

what about potted meat?

Sometimes when my wife asks me why something is broken, I respond: Taint got no gas in it

Then does she do what my wife does, and just give you a blank, 'you're such a fucking retard' stare, with the slight head shake?

I like the way you talk.

I know this look very very well.

Retard, sometimes I get asshole.

 

[Cotton]

Retard, sometimes I get asshole.

I know that look, too.

 

[Rev]

I get : "I'm so done with you"

 

[NoDak]

I know this look very very well.

A bit more detail on The Look...

Head slightly canted to the side, mouth slightly agape, one eye twitching.

Yeah, I get this quite often. I even go out of my way to trigger this look sometimes. It makes me laugh.

I go out of my way to catch that look way more often than I should probably.

 

[NoDak]

Retard, sometimes I get asshole.

Ahh, yes. There is that one, too. The only slight difference between the two looks is the 'retard' gets the mouth open in amazement, while the 'asshole' has lips firmly pressed together in quiet anger.

Yeah, there is a distinct difference in the two. The first one can be almost light-hearted and not fight-inducing. The second one means you're on the brink of taking a beatdown.

Yep. Gotta toe the line carefully as to not turn one into the other. I've been over zealous in my fucking around in an attempt to appease my own boredom, and ended up paying a hefty price for my carelessness.

 

[boozeman]

I literally loathe this time of year and it is clear I have chosen the wrong profession every time.

Potluck dinners when you have to pretend you like the shit people cook and then deal with others who are pressuring you to wear a Santa hat to be festive.

I hate people so fucking bad.
