Life in the Big City
Yesterday C, B, and I pulled into a Race Trac in Grand Prairie to get some petrol (whose cost is, in itself, another blog entirely). C got out to fill 'r up and I noticed 2 policemen to my immediate right. They proceeded to walk up WITH GUNS DRAWN to another car that was parked on the curb about 10 feet from the front of our van. (I'm serious and I don't even have to embellish this tale.) Having seen such things only on TV and in the movies, I began to panic somewhat and banged on the window at C. He didn't hear me, so I had to roll down the window to say, "GET IN THE CAR." Naturally, he wanted to know why, so I said in bigger caps, "THEIR GUNS ARE DRAWN. GET IN THE CAR NOW." That got him moving. So we kind of hunched down a little bit and watched them sneak up behind the car just like Jack Bauer would do it, except that they were wearing those cool uniforms. Sadly for you, this is the end of the story because no one was in the car. The policemen retreated and went into the store. I never said the ending was exciting.

hahahaha.
i am so disappointed!
maybe the writers of 24 can put this in season 7.
cyn, why, for the sake of being humane to your blog readers, did you not following the policemen into the store and ask them WHY they had their guns drawn. For crying out loud!!!!
a let down reader
That was, BY FAR, the most anti climactic blog you have ever written. You're a writer! Add a disclaimer that some details are embellished and correct this travesty as quickly as possible.
that was awful. I'm upset.
Good grief!!!

I just think it's cool you have a child old enough to pump gas for you!!

it's true. i do have a child old enough to pump gas. but his name does not begin with "c". he was safe in the car playing his nintendo ds and barely even looked up at all the excitement.
actually you have to have a driver's license to pump gas, just so ya know. (B.K. taught me that).KJ
Now, I'll tell you what is anticlimactic - watch TAMU -vs- Rice baseball. Good Guys up 2 to 1 but swinging horribly at change up after change up. You know they will not score again in the game and the bad guys are somehow going to string together a run in the bottom of the ninth. You of course know this in the seventh inning but you watch it any way just to verify the outcome. So what happens? Just what you knew would happen.
As for the police with guns drawn and no one in the car - definitely will be in next seasons 24 but it will take a two hour premier and three shows for it to happen...
Oh, speaking of 24, Chloe sightings on Sweethome Alabama, King of Queens, Little Miss Sunshine - any one seen her any where else?

i'm so sorry that we weren't watching that with you and your glass-is-half-empty outlook on life and all things Aggie. :-) but you're right, it WAS anticlimatic but there's always game 2 and maybe a 3rd tomorrow!
i l'd ol at your 2nd paragraph.
as for mary lynn rajskub, check this out

Sorry for the confusion on who was actually pumping the gas. I don't know why I thought you had a kid whose name started with C. This is what happens when summer hits. Your brain turns to mush. Or maybe it was just the excitement of the story that got me confused!
