It was so comical. I've had people approach me for money fake being crippled, and lie through their teeth, but I usually can tell the liars from the sincere, but this one was so comical that it just left me smirking with disbelief. Here I am, putting $3.75 in the tank of my clunker Saturn with the passenger window I have to raise and lower with my hand (not hand crank) so that I can make it to work 'til I get paid on Friday (with enough left over to get a sweet iced tea from McDonald's--I'm a southerner with cravings), down to my last fiver (people everywhere are hurting--I gave a guy at church a 20 on Sunday--it was all I could spare, because he got evicted and he was living in his car and his wife had tried to kill herself and was in the hospital because of their financial nightmare) and here's a kid in a late model Hummer in stylish clothes smoking cigs with his buds and asking me for money? I laugh so that I don't get angry. Here I am, 2400 miles from home, that I miss terribly, living in my bro's guestroom because I lost my job and therefore Mom and I lost our house, and had to come out here, and here I am working for about half of what I was making and now have no health insurance and am squeaking by and some kid wants gas for his fucking HUMMER??? Kee-reyest. Uh-oh. I'm getting angry. - --Mark The longer I think about this, the harder I find it not to laugh. - -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hamlin To: loud-fans Sent: Thu, Aug 12, 2010 6:11 pm Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Waiting lists, welfare gas On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 9:49 PM, wrote: > Andy, thanks for the heads-up on the book.
