I live in a very busy area. I am above a restaurant, next to a mental health facility and two doors down from a gas station/ convenience store. Across the street is a factory and train yards. I like it here as the rent is only 550 for a large 1 BR, although it is a little loud. So, when it is late at night I often make my Ben and Jerry's run to the gas station. Sometimes I buy milk or cereal. I usually have on my street clothes, but lately I have been over there in PJ pants and t-shirts, say around ten at night. So last night I went to get a sandwich and I was wearing black pj bottoms and a black tank top. You have to picture the guy who owns the place... an older Indian (East Indian) with rings, grey hair, bushy eyebrows and a thick accent. He creeps me out a little bit... not a lot. It is just the energy of the place is somewhat strange. Occasionally there are homeless people or mental patients hanging around. They sell a lot of liquor also, so the drunks from the apartment complex next door frequent the store as well. So I am in the parking lot and the owner is picking up trash. He turns to me and says "You look like a wrestler!!!" I didn't know what to say. I do have big shoulders and lots of tattoos, but a wrestler??? Very weird. Not sure if that was a compliment or something else entirely. Suppose I will be putting on a baggy sweatshirt from now on when I go to get my ice cream...

At least he noticed you. Maybe he is trying to make some sense of your offering of American culture, maybe he is trying to loose HIS cultural prejudices, and stumbling for the words. Maybe it was an inside joke to him. Maybe it was a compliment. I wouldn't trip on it too much. Now if he calls you an 'a s s hat', I'd be worried! I want to go to India someday soon just by myself. | ||

His wife is a little less creepy. She smiles when she rings you up. All the Ben & Jerry's I eat I am probably putting their children through college!!! I am addicted. Polished off a pint a few nights back. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is the bomb! I can't buy more than a pint or I might self destruct. I got too skinny this summer so now I am back up to middleweight... It is pretty funny...  (Message edited by Whatever on September 09, 2009) | ||

He might have seen some ads for UFC and meant that. Lots of those dudes are "Afflictioned" out and tats galore. That's what I would guess. | ||

That is funny. The Indians are buying up my town left and right. I know a lot of them simply because I am also the local ABC admin. and they have to come in to apply for beer licenses and if you help them in any way you have made a friend for life. All of them remember my name, don't pronounce it very well, but remember it none the less. I on the other hand couldn't pronounce theirs much less remember it. As for the B & J's I quit buying it after they killed off my two favorites, what's up with killing off flavors? | ||

They tried to cube the flavors, but it made a huge mess. | ||

Pictures???? LOL! I recently moved from the "Swamp Compound" into the "hood" due to a life change, but I RULE MY NEIGHBORHOOD! Everybody gets waved at, from Grandma Moses hanging out in her beautifully decorated garage to the punk with his ass showing because he's wearin' his mommas boyfriends pants. It's MY F***'in neighborhood too. It pissed me off that all the visitors that showed up at the Labor Day party at the old ladies house two doors down, took the opportunity to clean the garbage out of their cars when they left, what a bunch of asshats. I don't know about them but my momma would have beat me if I had done that. | ||

"It's MY F***'in neighborhood too." My feelings exactly. A couple months ago I purchased my first home - on a quiet cul de sac which is home to mostly retired air force couples who are old enough to be my grandparents. Anyway, my new neighbors aren't too fond of my loud motorcycles or the fact that I work on them in the driveway on occasion leaving oil stains all over the concrete drive. F*** them. .. I did start shutting the engine off and coasting down the street and into the driveway when I get home from work at 6am, but have yet to see a change in the neighbor's hospitality.  | ||

Sounds like time for a party at your place PK. They'll be so happy when it's over they won't mind your bike. If you really want to wind them up though, get hold of an old clunker from somewhere, take the wheels off & set it on blocks in the yard in front of your house. Don't forget to leave a fringe of grass round it when you mow.  | ||

lol.. actually I've got an 87 civic in the driveway. There's no clearcoat left on the entire car and it's been sideswiped down the passenger side. Wheels with no hub caps are covered in surface rust.. Rita's a grand looking vehicle. | ||

$5 gets me only one pint of Ben & Jerrys $10 will get me two!!!  | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Yeah, I'll chip in to see you buying ice cream in a stars & stripes bikini. If the area's full of drunks & loonies better make sure you have some backup. Chocolate chip cookie dough is very nice, but lemon cream pie is nicer. | ||
