Rumblings from the Goondocks

Ring of Fire
Lot on my mind today... but first i have to get a rant off my mind.
Some of you know i am no big fan of smoking, in fact i bloody well hate it with a passion like no other. Now don't get me wrong if you want to smoke go ahead, kill yourself, they'll be more left for me when you die a painful death.
Now the thing that pisses me off is that when i'm shopping, like millions of other people on this planet. You follow people out the door and there are people that can't wait to light up from their 20 minutes in the smoke free shopping establishment. When you walk out of an establishment and you see purple has right out the door it bothers me. Now if it's not by me great! But TWICE today i was walking out of a place and some old hag ladies lit up right as they were walking out of the door and blew smoke right at me.
This raises the bee blood pressure. WTF do you have to do this to me? Have you no manners, oh.. of course no you are addicted to cancer sticks and must have your "fix" because the silly establishment won't allow you to poison the other patrons. That is what you are doing... trying to poison me. So, from now on .. if you are smoking or lighting up in front of me.. expect to be told how you act by me. I don't appreciate people invading my space...
---------------------
In other news i bought some watermelon from HOE today. Normally i don't like watermelon that much but i had a craving for the stuff and it was dirt cheap. It was some good watermelon.
While munching away on my melon i had to chuckle at remembering a watermelon incident in high school. Like to hear it?... here it go....
When in high school i played football. Still to this day i love to play and watch the game. So starting in August you started your practices getting ready for that first game of the year. 2 a day 3 a day practices are the norm. Finally after weeks of sweat and bruises you get to the soap game. Now for you that don't know what a soap game is, it's sort of a preview game for the fans featuring all divisions varsity, sophomore, and freshmen.
Now usually it's hot enough outside to melt concrete, and that day was like no other. August days in southern illinois are like a summer day in the amazon, even the mosquitos look at you and are like.. you're playing in this... sheesh. So you go out there hit and play.... then that particually year a pickup truck shows up full of ice and WATERMELON. So they dump all this ice cold watermelon on the ground.
Now as you might know... if you are hot and sweaty after just playing 2 hours of football ... your system is .. well .. compromised. So everyone goes over and start to devour this watermelon, and i mean slaughtering this melon.
Then it happens... your body is at a very high temperature from playing.. and you put something icecold in your stomach... not a good sign. I do remember matt helmer puking his guts up.. but i know that more than one person wasn't feeling to hot from this melon incident.
Rule: Don't eat ice cold melon when you have played 2 hours of football in 98 degree heat with 90% humidity
