I hate Rockford


My job carries me many different places. Most annoyingly on Thursdays I travel to Rockford, IL to make my deliveries. There are always many marvelously strange things in Rockford. Once I saw a man dressed up like someone out of the Mortal Kombat video game sitting at a bus stop downtown. To give you an idea of the state of Rockford, one of the bars I deliver to has had the same cockroach, dead on his back laying in the same spot as it has been for the last six months I’ve been delivering there. Cleanliness is not an option. It seems every Thursday something sideshow-ish presents itself. It was auto week this week. I was enjoying an apple I brought with me the other day when I heard a deep rumble roll past me as I pulled up to the stoplight. Quick with the camera I snapped the picture you see here. I’m not very familiar with this brand/model so I looked it up. Little did I know that with one slip of the brake pedal would cost my company a half million dollars. I should have honked the horn at him for spite. I was fairly impressed. The freakish part of my day presented itself not more than ten minutes later when I passed a 2006 Charger tricked out like the General Lee. I wasn’t as quick with the camera but here is a picture of what I saw. After a little investigation I found out that quite a few of these models exist. I can ALMOST understand painting a 69 charger to the like but I think these are the kind of people that will bypass Tom Wopat altogether to stand in line for Shawn William Scott to autograph their collectors edition dvd. I only wonder if it’s superficial or do they have the horn and welded doors to match. Next time you’re at Wal-Mart and catch someone sliding across their hood out of the corner of your eye, go home and pray they’re not filming the sequel. I hate Rockford.

I actually saw the remake of Dukes of Hazard and all I have to say is that it's ALL downhill for Nick Lachey from here.
