“everybody”? Bullshit.
Maybe by everyone he means his union buddies.
And by “union buddies”, I mean, of course, members of the Consolidated Union of Morons, Jerks, Assholes, and Fucking Bastards Local #553.
county - a word of advice: there is a firewall between the brain and the mouth. We’ve all bypassed it and thrown out some really idiotic words…but hell, you park in a fire zone? That’s just stupid, and if it’s par for the course in Memphis you should strive to be someone who obeys the law and doesn’t park in fire zones.
I’ve been in Memphis – y’all deep-fry the damn vegetables. BBQ BBQ. Vegetarian here.
As aformer firefighter, I’d like to say I would have taken great delight in de-facing any car illegally parked in a fire lane.
And you’re in Dallas? They allow vegetarians in Texas? I thought they checked that at the border. I feel for ya…
The people who moved into the house on the corner at the end of my street routinely park either directly beside the hydrant in front of their house or right on the corner (it’s a sharp curve rather than a right angle), so people can’t see around the curve and have to drive in the middle of the street. I haven’t called the cops about it yet, though, because I figure they’re better than the drug dealers who used to live there.
There’s only a few of us, and we have assumed identities…
All my relatives in Amarillo have disowned me - whoo hoo!
Nah, we just brand 'em in a prominent place so everyone will KNOW.
Seriously, quite a few places here in Fort Worth offer vegetarian dishes/main courses. Of course most of these places ALSO offer a chicken fried steak big enough to deserve its own plate.
Ah, yes, the famed Circle Tofu brand…
And you know, I am a huge fan of chicken fried steak, but the best I ever had was in California. It was two huge slabs served on a mondo plate. Thought I’d died and gone to heaven. My heart just thought I’d died. But now Fort Worth is on my must-visit list.
I’d have more sympathy if I hadn’t been on your street in the past and seen the no-parking sign. I found a picture of it posted online (it’s the first one). Perhaps you need glasses?
Hey, I’m a member!
In Los Angeles, you can’t call the police about such a thing.
Well, you can. You just can’t get them to care. You have to call the parking violations section (seperate from the LAPD).
It’s a little tough getting THEM to care, too.
If you like CFS, try my version of it. Around my house, we usually call it “Smashed Steak” because I always “smashed” the round steak to tenderize it.
I had a CFS at America in New York once, and I damn near lost the rest of my meal into the bargain.
Warning: do not attempt to eat CFS while Canadian; it will just not work.
That’s great. I sat here drooling, Homer Simpson-style. Mmmm.
matt-You may not have known this, but we commonly use CFS as Canadian repellent. “Got Canadians again!” Maw’ll say and then Paw says, “Get the Chicken Fried Steak out! They can’t take it!” and then the infestation clears up…
What do you do if you get Albertans, though? Aren’t they immune?
(Cold Texas with mountains, that’s what I always call it…)
Albertans melt when exposed to Texas temperatures. We just use a heat lamp.
Many years ago, while working in a retail store, I’d take great delight in giving the slowest possible service to any turd omelette who parked in the fire lane. Since two local police officers were part timers at the store, a step into the back and a phone call usually had the offendors ticketed shortly thereafter.
We had a fire one evening at an apartment building and laid hose around an illegally parked car. Apparatus positioning was such that when Mr. Asshat finally arrived, he was SOL. The guy started giving me a bunch of shit and said he was going to drive over my lines. A few moments later, he was in handcuffs, and his car was towed once we’d wrapped up.
-You should see their secret handshake.

They’re a pretty entertaining bunch
