Oh it hurts

[SeaCat]

As I was sitting here typing earlier I caught movement from the corner of my eye. It was a couple of guys across the street. They were doing something under the car parking area across the street

AS I sat here watching they moved aside enough for me to see they were loading up a charcoal grill. Not a big deal, they were loading it and would be moving it, right?

Nope. As I watched the one guy sat on his bike while the other worked industriously to light the charcoal. I watched as he doused it with lighter fluid and then tossed in a match or three. Nothing happened so he grabbed the can of fluid again and applied more. (Emptying the can.) He opened the storage area and tossed the can inside then went back to again try to light the grill. Again nothing happened.

I could hear them cussing and laughing and because I was curious to see what they did next I kept watching. Hell I wasn't hiding it, I stepped outside to see this. The one guy reached into his storage area and to my surprise pulled out a gas can. His friend sat there laughing as he poured a liberal amount over the charcoal, set down the can and after another slug of beer grabbed his matches.

Well guess what? This time it lit. Oh man did it light. A loud Woomph followed by a ball of flame rising to the ceiling which was followed by flames licking at the ceiling. The one guy fell off his bike and the guy with the matches kind of instantly moved back about ten feet.

Me I sat on the steps laughing my ass off even as I watched the flames rising from the grill and these guys scrambling around trying to find some way to put out the fire. One of them finally remembered the cover and put that on, which put out the fire. By this time my sides and belly were hurting and my wife had come out to see what was so funny.

After the guys went inside, with several dirty looks in my direction I might add. I went over and looked at the damage. In the area over the grill the paint had been burned away from the sheet metal ceiling.

My belly still hurts but it was worth it.

Oh and the park is now renting out units so I'm sure things will get even more amusing over the course of the summer.

Is this one of those "Redneck's last words" or a "Darwin Honorable Mention"? These guys wouldn't have been under thirty, would they? Frequently "male under 30" + alcohol = Darwin Award.

Watch this!

Here now,
I know about Rednecks. I is one.

These guys are new here and should give me plenty of amusement.

Yesterday the guy with the bike saw me working on mine and wandered over. He looked at my bike and made the comment; "Oh a Harley Wannabe huh?"

I just looked at him and smiled while looking over at his sport bike. (A little Ninja.)

Then he started telling me about his riding. How he had just bought his bike and was loving the power it had, and how manueverable it was. He then went on to complain about all of the crazy drivers on the roads and how other riders didn't give him any respect.

Later in the day I saw him moving his bike out and getting ready to ride. He was dressed in a full leather riding suit as well as his helmet. (I'll give him points for this.) He started the bike and promptly stalled it. After screwing around with the bike for a bit he finally got it started again. He cranked up the engine this time and left a stripe down the road. I was truly impressed. (I would have been even more impressed if he had the bike under control.)

Oh these guys are going to be fun.

You know, it could be a good investment. These guys sound like God intends them to be on America's Funniest Home Videos.
