Ok, first, that title has absolutely nothing to do with what I am writing about. But quite frankly, what person can see a heading like that and cruise right by? Not many. So, with that let me officially introduce you to the Monday 5 p.m. blog. Even though I've already made several postings I figured it might be nice for those people joining us already in progress to bring you up to speed on what this blog is all about. It's a wonderful coming-of-age tale, so take a walk with me as I describe how we got here.
Anybody familiar with history will tell you that you can't know where you're going unless you know where you've been. The concept behind the Monday 5 p.m blog was started, innocently enough, in the spring of 1999 in the sleepy town of State College, PA. Here's the official story as to how it was started. One day, at the now defunct Bilo grocery store, myself and my roommates were attempting to purchase some foodstuffs for that evening's meal. However, as luck would have it, we were impeded by an older lady who was in line ahead of us. And, here's the kicker. Let's see....how can I put this? She was.......ah, she seemed.......err, ok, she had a hump. Plain and simple. It's ok. People occasionally have humps. Things happen. Anyway, in the parking lot afterwards my roommate commented that he was unsure whether he should just wait in line or use the hump as a place to rest his elbow. I know, its terrible. We immediately chided him for his juvenile and insensitve comments. However, with that....a revolution was born. We decided it would be beneficial to have a time and place where it was socially acceptable to speak your mind without fear of retaliation. However, let me lay down the ground rules. Originally we decided that Monday's between the hours of 5 pm and midnight would be our designated safe haven. Additionally, since its now being posted on the 'net, we go by the "its 5 o'clock somewhere" rule. Wouldn't want to see anybody blow an O-ring waiting 6 days to get their feelings out. Also, we do not descriminate based on race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or creed. There are much better reasons to be irritated by someone. We go on a case-by-case basis. For instance, maybe you have that annoying guy at work who's cell phone is always ringing. Maybe your neightbor steals your paper and his dog shits in your yard. Let it out! This blog is cheaper than therapy.
That's all for now. As always, your comments are always welcome.

Or how about the guy that backs into your parked car in a parking lot, causing an estimated $2000 of damage and 5 days worth of repair. His response "I do this all the time." Do what? Back into a parking spot or hit someone's car? And then lets talk about his probationary license, which he says he has because of something to do with a green card. Oh yeah, and his insurance card isn't in the vehicle. But he has insurance and gives a company and policy number. Call his agent, and he sure does have insurance, just not on this particular vehicle.
I know I am an advocate of the death penalty, and this is one more offense that deserves swift justice. I propose that driving without insurance is grounds for execution.
I thought Pa had a law where they impound your car if you drive uninsured. When the cop came out, I don't know if he did anything to this jackoff, but at the time it did appear as though he had insurance. Should I call the cop back and let him know of this new development? It could really ruin this douchebag's day.
It wasn't my car, but it was the car of someone who lives with me.
Thanks for listening, now I'm tired and need a hump to rest my elbow on.
As a member of the orignal Monday 5pm club. I would like to make a few additions to the rules...
1)While participating in the 5pm club...you must be drinking or drunk
2)No euphemisms...If someone is retarded..they are retarded...not mentally challenged or "Special"
3)No pussies allowed...if you can't stand the heat...move to France
