Degrees of separation

[AMonger]

So I'm sitting in the parking lot at the Hook, on my laptop, and another expediter comes out and sees me. He says hi, and we're talking, and I mention something about EO, and he says, "I'm Falligator!" He mentions some names of people from EO that he's met, one of whom was GSmacker, and I said, "I'm sending him a PM right now!"

What are the odds?

Pretty Good! We often run into other E.O. members. An E.O. bumper sticker on your truck helps!!

OVM has an official translator?

I know what you mean.

I am 'chatting' on the phone the other night in Nebraska and here comes some FedEx guy who we are talking about at that moment.

Yep!! Since I live so near to the border I took on the job!! Hey, you live close to Canada, you could be of GREAT help in this effort to understand OVM speak!!

Isn't it his thinking that sometimes needs translating more than his speech??

 

[Ragman]

Dances with Wolves...*lol*

I wondered if anybody would catch that.

 

[layoutshooter]

He gets the "Yanks" part wrong just as the "Southern" people do. We are NOT all Yanks! Yanks or Yankees play baseball, are born in CT. They are sails or a class of sailing ships. Come on OVM, get it right!!

 

[layoutshooter]

Hey I coulda said worse...eh?..*lol*

Yeah, but I can't say what I think would be worse in this forum!!

Even tought about a wing on the roof in the rear like the A-team had on theirs, from the t.v show...

Sounds like the Ghostbustermobile.

 

[layoutshooter]

I like the wing idea, be sure to have neon lights on it!!


Speaking of the Ghostbusters mobile, Mrs. Layoutshooter and I were on a run passing through WI a few years back. I was pulling off into a truck stop when she noticed a flatbed with a strange car on the back, she said that she thought it was the Ghostbusters car. We walked over and, sure enough, it was the original car from the movie. (which at that time I had never seen the movie nor have ever seen the entire thing) The driver said that the car had just finished restoration and was on it's way to a museum.
