Cast of Characters

[Conager]

I meet lots of interesting characters. Sometimes it's directly work-related, often times it's just has to do with where work takes me.

"Prospector" This old-timer client that lives mostly off the grid in the middle of nowhere needed a lift into the big city. some Serendipity with another client I had to visit 80 miles away worked out so I was able to drop him.

Near the end of the destination he commented on a Panda Express that he'd never eaten there I told him he had missed anything. then it occurred to me that it may be he wanted to stop in because he might find himself on foot for a while after I drop him.

Spotting a Thai place in a brand new industrial look strip mall I offered to get us lunch.

He is hard of hearing. Thought I said, "Pie place." what he really wanted was coffee and a slice of pie.

"Thai Waitress" waitress comes over and he asked for coffee just plain coffee he says.

Often times the staff are recently imported family members or othrts from back home. Her delivery of English was impeccable but her comprehension of mine and my crusty (litetally) companion not fluent. perhaps it's because I speak American English which of course isn't actually English at all.

She brought him an iced coffee beautifully done with cream on top.

She did not understand for a bit that he wanted plain coffee just plain coffee nothing but coffee in the glass.

Later, I'm asking about my sweet and sour dish which contained cucumber which I've never seen cooked before, all though, just lightly warmed. I was wondering whether it was a cucumber the way I know cucumbers or whether it is some special Thai variety. The ptoblem was not that she is not a botanist, and cannot inform me about all matters cucumbers the problem is as she stated,

"Oh. I do not know about the food here. . ."

"Prospector" I've worked it into conversation several times to make sure he was clear that I was treating him to lunch. because of his hearing attenuation he's used to misunderstandings so he actually asked to make sure and clarify and I told him absolutely order whatever you'd like.

He was interested to try something new but he also felt the need to chastise me for my profligate spemdong habits.

He said something to the effect that he generally eats by himself because he doesn't like a lot of chatter. Obviously, he has the wrong lunch companion today.

 

[Aquagal]

"Neighbor" guy. Always suspicious of people and thinks everyone is nefarious. Can't count the amount of times he's come over to remind me to lock the door, or let him know if something's fishy because he has his guns ready.

Dude with no car comes through house to house selling security surveillance Saturday night at 9:30. No vehicle and casing his joint got his hackles up and he came a calling to remind me to lock the door. Kid answered the door and relayed the message which came out like the telephone game, so I headed his way to see what the real story was. Found him in the backyard too drunk to swing a mall to add wood to his fire so he was cutting tree limbs with his sawsall.

Hippie chick girlfriend shows up from her walk but was really following the security guy to see what he was up to. She always has deep thoughts that makes me think she's dropped a little bit too much acid in her day.

Go back home to grab kids and mason jar of wine and head back to bonfire to find out the skinny. Stayed til 1:30 am til it was starting to get dusky and tired.

 

[Hashtag35]

Connie is noticing that people are getting tired of his alts and his posting of Rob's info all over Reddit (like a beta little bitch) so now he is making a distraction thread. What a stupid tranny.

 

[hashtag24]

The washed-up ex husband who posts to a porn board with an army of alts. He's a creepy stalker who puts off the forum's women. He tries to hide the fact he's a crossdressing tranny who is known by close family as "creepy uncle connie." He's widely regarded as a pathetic loser.

"Halibut Head"

Chick looks likes she's had some inbreeding somewhere and her eyes look like they are on one side of her face. Hadn't seen her for years til I saw her with her grown teen at a sporting event...knew immediately it was Halibut Head. Chit chatted a bit and smiled to myself how perfect her name was.

 

[Conager]

"Hell Yeah! Guy" He is a larger, young guy. Seems a liitle slow, works hard. He drops hell yeah into the conversation as if he's saying, "Uh huh.. yes, go on.."

Sometimes, he is being truly enthusiastic about what it is you're telling him. So he makes a really great audience if you've got a great story.

"You had lunch?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Whadja have? Burger King? Wendy's? Mack Donald's?"

"Big Kahuna Burger, hell yeah..."

"I hear they have some TASTY burgers!"

"HELL YEAH!!!"

 

[Conager]

"Rodeo Cowboy"

He's been involved with rodeo with his family since he's 8 years old he's worked dude ranches, cattle ranches, stables for tourists in what is now the Pointe Squaw Peak Hilton, in Paradise Valley.

81 broken bones. Broke his neck twice. The last time at a Senoir Pro Rodeo event.

His grandfather raced 40's vintage stock cars.
