Another busy day that has me running late, so let’s get to it. Not much to say about my yesterday, but it included a Naugsol valley circumnavigation and a Christmas party at my old dart bar hangout, Alley Cats.
Swan and I headed out to Alley Cats and arrived at 4:30. The place was packed, and we were lucky to grab two seats at the bar. Lots of warm greetings and many familiar faces from my dart-playing days made me feel right at home.
Sitting there soaking up the dart vibes made me miss my old hobby. The other night I dreamed about playing darts again. Perhaps the seed has been planted, because I’m thinking about buying a new set of arrows and getting back into the groove with some practice and an occasional tourney. I’m not going back to the five days a week mode, but once in a while, it might feel good again.
There was a tasty buffet dinner (I contributed some brownies) and a gift exchange. We brought presents for all the Alley Cats crewmembers and enjoyed the spirit of the season.
It was after eight, and the party was still in full swing when we departed for home. We had an early morning charity event to attend to today. I’ll share that adventure tomorrow.
Moving on to April 2016 in the LTG archives, I posted about my darting life in Itaewon, including this shellacking of an opponent named Ricky:
It was also the anniversary of my marriage to Jee Yeun. I sent her this message:
“Today is the anniversary of the promise you made and did not keep.”
She didn’t respond.
Over at the BigHominid blog, I’m the poster boy for bad habits. A then (8 years ago) versus now photo is the evidence. I came across another photo from my first year in the Philippines which shows just how much I’ve gained from living here:
A little late for me, but in today’s YouTube video, the Filipina Pea provides tips that will make your vacation in the Philippines a happy one.
On to the humor:
A motorcycle officer stopped a man who had run a red light.
The guy was a real jerk, yelling, “Why am I being harassed by the Gestapo?!”
The officer calmly explained the violation, but the man exploded into a tirade, insulting the officer’s ancestry and orientation in every way imaginable.
The officer stayed calm. When he finished writing the ticket, he scribbled “AH” in the corner and handed it over.
The man snapped, “What does AH mean?!”
The officer looked him straight in the eyes and said, “That’s so when we go to court, I’ll remember you were aggressive and hostile.” Then he walked away.
Because the man already had a terrible driving record and risked losing his license, he hired a hot-shot attorney. In court, the attorney asked: “Officer, is there any unusual marking on this citation?”
“Yes, sir. At the bottom there’s an underlined ‘AH.’”
“And what does ‘AH’ stand for?”
“Aggressive and hostile, sir.”
The attorney smirked. “Are you sure it doesn’t stand for A$$hole?”
The officer grinned. “Well, sir… you know your client better than I do.”
I had my share of run-ins with the law back in my younger driving days. One led to my arrest. I guess “fuck you, pig!” was a little over the top. Lesson learned.
That’s all I’ve got for today.
Swan seems to know everyone at those hooker bars. Makes a man wonder
William George,
You have some fucking class, you tosspot!
This is John’s sheila we are talking about.
Your hate speech has no place here, mate!
Dr. Greg, I edited your comment because name-calling, whether warranted or not, is not allowed. But thanks for your support.
William, Alley Cats is a darts bar, so your attempted insult doesn’t work. It’s been said that ignorance is bliss, so I’m glad you are such a happy person.
