[Not OT] Fun with cops

So I was coming home from my FLGS last night, and, unfortunately, I was speeding.

The cop who pulled me over noticed the brown, nondescript paper bag on the front seat of my car and asked me what it was. My FLGS always bags stuff as if you're buying porno magazines or something.

So, I pulled my copy of Dungeon out of the bag, expecting that my fine was going to be doubled for satan-worshipping in addition to speeding.

To my surprise, the cop said "Awesome, the new Dungeon's out? I could never ticket a fellow gamer."

WoohoO!

Well that's extra sweet.

I'll now catch that "So, you worship Satan, do you?" cop since you avoided him.

Last night I saw my first ever car chase. I was driving down I65 and this white car goes zooming past me, then a cop car. They pulled off on a ramp and went speeding away from the hiway ... then like thirty seconds later they come along side me again, this time on a service road. Then he got to the road block and stopped.

It was oddly thrilling just to be on the same road with a little madness. A reminder that life is full of more than my own humdrum life, I suppose.

Heh. Shortly after I moved to LA, we were coming back from a movie once, and were talking about how many car chases there were in the LA area. We all just sorta nodded in assent, and then a couple minutes later, someone looked out the window and was like "hey, there's one!" Right there on the next road over (a road that ran parallel to the freeway) there was a car being chased by like 8 cops. Talk about irony.

My dad's a cop.

He has some bizarre obsession with putting pigs everyplace.

He most likely smokes a certain illegal herb, but you didn't hear it from me.

And I'm his son.

And I work at a gas station

And I was robbed about a week ago.

Hooray for recouperation time!

In the words of Apu: "Ah, the searing kiss of hot lead...how I have missed you. I mean...I think I'm dying."

Talk about Irony, I just got done post after Paul Klein on a completely different board, and I thought the internet was a big place.

Very cool!

(Apart from the speeding, possibly. )

Very cool, indeed!

(Except for the part about Paul reverse-stalking Alaxk by staying one post ahead of him and glancing back with that odd little grin...possibly...)
