I stalled it this am
I actually stalled my car this morning at a light. It wasn't a hill or nothing. I was right there at Thrasher's corner. The only thing that marks Mr. Thrasher's corner is the Thrasher's corner pub that has all you can eat crab on Monday nights. It used to have nothing but that pub, the safeway, the feed and tack store (The one with the giant fake horse out front. Why hasn't that giant fake horse been stolen yet? I ask you.) and the 7-11 that always had the cheapest gas.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas there would be a cut down tree lot across from the pub. Donna's trees. I never met Donna but I guess I've bought some 6-8 trees from her. I guess that matches with the David Sedaris telling of some Christmas traditions in Europe where Santa is accompanied by 6-8 black men who kick the bad children. (See "Dress Your Family")
There is now a bunch of shit. Fred Meyer, Discount Tire (Who the fuck would ever go in there when there is a Les Schwab up the road a piece (that's my southern coming out. "A Piece" roughly translates into, "I don't fucking know how far it is just get on that road and go and when you see well then you've gone a piece up that road now haven't you!" and if you're in a bar (Like *I* would know) you tack on "mutherfucker" and if you're in church (like *I* really would know) you tack on "Father." ) It's actually up at "kennard Corner"... um ok How did I know that? Well I knew it was some corner but they don't even have a pub I've never been in so I had to go into streets and trips to find out.
Looking a little farther north I find "Wintermutes Corner" WTF? (That's What the Fuck for the TLA impaired. Isn't that cruel? For those of you who are still scratching your heads TLA is "Three Letter Abbreviation." NO it isn't ACRONYM (or anacronym for those of you who know who you are.) An acronym is an abbreviation that can be pronounced as a word. Acronym is not an acronym that I know of otherwise it would self referential and I would be right now rolling on the floor laughing my office.
This is like a Seinfeld post. Really not about anything, huh?
So what the fuck is Wintermutes Corner. I can honestly say I've been there many times. I think my son got kicked out of the McDonald there for not having proper foot wear in the playland. Now they come out and sell you socks. That was in his 5 year no sock wearing rebel years.
A little farther north we have "Murphy's Corner." Where did all these corners come from? Why don't they have pubs with all you can eat crab? I think in truth these were farms and these 'corners' were on these guys' properties. (Was that grammatically correct? No but you get what I mean and shit I used the phrase "up the road a piece" earlier so give me a break?) So was Thrasher his name or did he get rip shit drunk and start thrashing stuff when he ate all you eat crab? He was likely the violent one. Murphy well we don't know about him, but you know they all made fun of that "Wintermute" family who would not speak in months that contained an 'R' in the name.
Yes we're at the end and it's still about nothing... yup... I stalled my car this morning and look how far I got anyways...
