My Crazy Life


Hey there gypsy. You can't have me.


This is by far the most random lady I have ever met. After covering a meeting in Charleston Wednesday I left the Panther Paw to head back to Tuscola. While walking out I see this lady starting at me as she's pulling into a parking space. The conversation goes a little like this:

Lady: He..He...Hey!
Me: Uhhhh...ya???
Lady: Is it...Is it..busy in there?
Me: MMM....not really, sort of, I guess it depends on your idea of busy.
Lady: They're really nice to me in there. The kids give me cigarettes and beer.
Me: Oh yeah? Well that's nice of....{cutoff by lady}
Lady: I'm 64.
Me: Cool!!??
Lady: My landlord broke my leg today. This is my daughter.
Me: {awkward silence}
Lady: My birthday's July 17.
Me: That's pretty soon.
Lady: Take a picture of me.
Me: {Beginning to laugh as I take a picture} Sweet!
Lady: You're kind of cute. I'm hitting on you.
Me: Thanks, I don't think my fiance would like that.
Lady: Bye!

Apparently because I have a fiance she was done talking. I called Kevbot to tell him about this lady and of course during our discussion he realizes he and Peaches have run into this lady before too. The whole time I was talking with her I kept thinking how great it would be to run into her with those two. Peaches would have definitely found a new best friend. This is just another incident to prove my life is a series of random episodes spiraling out of control.

That's probably one of the funniest stories I've ever heard! I would also love to see Grumps and Peaches interact with this lady. It would most likely go something like . . . Grumps countering the crazy lady's random interruptions with anti-gypsy techniques and a background chorus of Peaches laughing. Furthermore, please stop giving me reasons to return to Charleston. I'm quite happy dropping classes here at home where it's cheap.

That is fantastic.

Some of my coworkers and I were eating lunch at a local BBQ place and we had a similar exchange with a drunk guy in his 30s. The best part was when he alluded to being in prison for murder and the state stole his intestines.

We looked up his name when we got back and it turns out he was in fact convicted of second-degree murder.

So be thankful it was just a crazy old lady and not a crazy murderer!
