Shoot the Breeze With the Cooler Crew - Peoplesforum Edition

I was visited by three 3Columbia Heights squad cars. I am a suspicious character I guess. Full details later. No, I'm not in jail.

oh come on, cm, isn't it obvious that we're always workingovertime? ;)

and ian, you're in good company. me2, marley, artemis and i were visited in cherokee park by 2 st paul squad cars while looking for jake's last coin.

Hey, don't forget I was a part of that gang of thugs out in Cherokee.

were you there though when the cops showed up?

Yes. First cop showed up, we were explaining to him we were doing a treasure hunt. Second cop pulls up alongside the first, that cop tells him, then he shakes his head as he peels off after hardly stopping. I was there. It was just before I had to head off to work.

i couldn't remember. sorry. in that case, me2, marley, artemis, tmk, and i were met by a pair of st. paul squads in coke here that saturday morning.

joe!

Good Morning!

Got up a bit after 4, poked my head out and watched the sky for a few minutes, saw a couple of the meteor thingys and then decided it was too cold and I was too tired to keep that up. If I could have been awake enough to think about driving to a darker sky location, I'm sure it would have been fabulous.

Ian - I'm sure that story will be interesting. :-)

Now it's off to work. Have a way cooler day everyone!

If I'm not gonna drive somewhere, the best place close to home is on the hill above Keyes Park, in Columbia Heights. A street follows the hill around the Minneapolis Waterworks HINT !reservoir
and is near the highest elevation point in the metro area. Usually I'll take a blanket and lay on the ground, eliminating neck strain. Today I wasn't expecting much; there was a lot of cloud cover in most of the sky. This was at 11:45 pm to 12:15 am.

I went to Holiday and got a cup of coffee, then parked on the street, got out of the car, and stood near the front, looking east. Oh, did I tell you that there's a herd of deer that lives inside the fenced reservoir?

Anyway, about 5 minutes after I got there, a spotlight from three blocks away shines on me, and is slowly coming closer. I decided to stay right where I was. Parking was allowed, and I wasn't on private property. Eventually the squad pulled up behind my van, lights flashing. I'm still not gonna move. Probably checked my plates, then two cops get out.

We start chit-chat and I say I'm looking for meteors. METEORS ?So I explain about it I'm asked if I live in Columbia Heights and who I am. They look in my windows: I'm glad the ammo boxes from Cabela's are in a bag!.

Finally, I was told that they watch the area and had gotten a call. I said "Oh, because of the deer?" thinking they took me for a poacher.

"No, we're guarding the water supply."

"Thank you officer, have a good day."

The other squad cars were a block away.

Damn.... I have those kind of run in's all the time with cops... walkin home from Shagg's place way late at night, or just out walkin cause I cant sleep at night..... and I always end up gettin stopped by like 3 or 4 cops, all within a few blocks.... usually by the time the 3rd cop stops me, I end up having a bad temper and telling them that I had just been stopped by two of their buddy's and if they need to know anything about me, they can ask them, cause I'm just tryin to take a f'n walk..... which usually leads to them getting all pissed, because Im pissed, and saying that if I dont calm down, their going to arrest me, so I usually end up telling them, that I would be calm, if I wasnt being harassed by cops every night, for simply WALKING DOWN THE DAMN STREET!

But yeah.. anywho... I couldnt watch the meteors at 10:30 cause I was down at the ICP Instore session over in Minneapolis/Richfield, so I ended up goin outside at about 4:15 A.M. to see what was up, and it was cloudy as hell... so I crashed until about 5:30, when my dad usually gets going for work, and then I went back outside, and there werent any clouds at all... right away, I was seeing tons of them things, man. I counted 39 all together. And that was just in my backyard in the ghetto ass eastside too....

Wow, 39? Guess I shoulda stayed home on the ghetto ass east side too. ;-)

I drove out east of town a bit, just past Willernie on county road 12, sat in some farmer's field with my lawn chair and sleeping bag and thermos of coffee.
The clouds were pretty thick when I first got there at 4:20 or so, but they gradually cleared out as the morning went on. The only place I could see clearly was to the south. I didn't see a lot, but the ones I did see were pretty impressive. All in all, I'm glad I went out, but I'm still disappointed by the numbers.

hey, frosti, from what you once told me you're east of me, hardly ghetto. of course you're also farther south too, so.....

Goodafternoon everyone

Anyone doing dishes and laundry - or other general dusting, vacuuming, floor washing, bathroom cleaning are more than welcome to show up at my house!

especially male gender in the nude :) but full nudity not necessary :)

Ares & Kids? At first I thought you were talking about the other time the cops were in 'Coke Here'- arresting the wrong thugs ;)

Ian, We're you out there alone?

Hey - was watching tv-commercials came on- one for White Castle...burgers are now 44 cents each---geesh! Powerball is 44 million til tomorrow evening too ;)

Hmmmm, what I could do with $44 million. Of course if I won I'd only get like 12 million probably after taxes and everything.

oh man!!! Gwen is pregnant with Ethans baby!!!

Oh no!

Does Uma know?

Hi AW!

well, yeah, with my luck I wouldnt win at all but IF...then I would get about 24 million after Taxes- my sister would get 1/2 - all my friends would get $5,000 each (except for Greg which gets $10 grand). I would split some more up with Family. So maybe by the time I was done I would have enough to finish our house and for a Pepsi and french fries :)

Ethan already has a son with Theresa but doesn't know it-he thinks the baby is his fathers kid.

He was just gonna tell Gwen that he was gonna ask Theresa to be his wife!

I'd probably use it to buy a nice house that I could use for parties, run my singles club for free for everyone, and some other secret projects.

'secret projects' eh?

sounds like you need your own batcave or laboratory ;)

Dr. Wonderland

Oh what i could do with that kind of $$ !!

I thought Gwen was married to Gavyn?

Hi Artemis. Well, IF & when I win -you can have $5 grand :)
and with your luck then maybe I will win!

Palina JOESY!

I thought Ethan Hawke was married to Uma Thurman? I know he and Gweneth Paltrow did "Great Expectations" together, but who is Theresa? Is it Theresa Russell from "Black Widow"? She was good in that movie but I think she's kind of old for Ethan.

oh AW! ::sigh::PASSIONS ;)

Never saw that movie. (hehe)

Marley made it back from OR in one piece :-)

Drove back from up N last night and tried watching for meteors, but didn't see any :( I had read somewhere that they were tonight also.
Going back up tonight until Friday, maybe I'll see a few tonight.

Welcome Back Marley!!!

Me2 :)

I was talking about Gwen Steffani and Gavyn whatshisname from Bush.

what about tax? don't forget Big Brother gets his 40% (oh what the heck-you win that much $$, give him another 4%)AND if you buy those hamburgers in St Paul add another 7% :)

19,236,000 @ 44 %
1,748,000 @ 7%

would that pay for a new baseball stadium?

Buy 100,000,000 44 cent burgers from White Castle!

:: slams head on desk ::


and what are you gonna buy the 100,000,000 un-sliders with?

I was just wondering how terrible you would feel after you ate that many 'sliders'.

Psst!!!!!! Here I am !!!!

Subway has Jarod, maybe White Castle could get Me2?

i hereby declare sliders to be the official food of this year's treasure hunt. and i nominate me2 as queen of the sliders, whose job it will be to find out just how bad you feel after that many sliders.

Oooooh welcome ice woman!

Psst!!!!!! Here I am !!!!

here who is? ;)

You know what Ares! You are dead meat! anyone want a bite?

anyone want a bite?

is that a threat or a promise, dear?

Icesis is gone... or hiding

I agree- we can tie him up to a tree in a park and leave him there after he ate a few dozen of the 'official food'

aw shit. i'm fucked.

Did you alll skip out and head to White Castle or what?
