10. I think I have a thing for dudes with bushy eyebrows. Seriously. I'm watching the Devil Wears Prada and I remember how much I love Vince, aka Adrian Grenier, and Cody Canada and Rob Pattinson. Which makes me wonder if my aversion to hairy arms and chest hair makes any sense at all.

9. The lady coming back from Fort Hood heading to Arkansas was HILARIOUS! She reminded me so much of the Southern Belles I met in the Bahama's who had taken the trip so the one girl could cheat on her cheating husband. Except without the cheating on her husband part.

8. I meet a lot of people that have important stuff to say like 'Blah Blah Blah' and I'm nodding my head and thinking about the shoe sale at Dillard's. So this one guy, who works for private contracting firm and is heading back to Iraq (or China, I wasn't paying attention) and he's telling us all about this and that. I'm doing the normal nod and squeeze the eyebrow together thing - okay, look, it's not that I don't care it's just that I don't understand it and it's kinda my thing not to really learn about it because it loses the humor value and I'm all about clownin' around - when I happen to look up and see a guy sitting down the bar giving me the look. Not that look...but the one that says, "You are SO BUSTED! I know that you know that I know that I know you don't know what the hell he's talking about!" And maybe I blushed a little but really I was trying pretty hard not to laugh at being caught.

7. Mr. Number 8 starts calling out Mr. Blah Blah Blah about having to wait so long for a c One something for a ride back to never never land. I think he did this for my benefit because instead of thanking me when he got up to leave he came over, leaned across the bar and said, "You're Welcome." And maybe I fell in love...a little.

6. So all these young AF dudes were coming in to head to Sheppard and their flight had been cancelled. That's not funny, but what is funny is the cat who sat down and called his mom or someone and started talking about how prepared he was for this kind of an event to occur and the others were having to wait up to two hours for their luggage...and he had his right there with him because he'd packed his backpack. I seriously had to resist the urge to jump over the bar and put it on just to see how heavy it was and see if I could fall over while singing "Backpack, Backpack!".

5. VK: Chellie, have you read the DFW Police Report?
Me: The one about the vomit? Yeah. It was great.

I don't know who writes that report for the newspaper but he/she needs a prize. The shiz is hilarious.

4. Cutest little boy ever licking his cheeseburger whenever his daddy would turn away. He was also three and he was going on two more flights and they had left their Mama at home in Texas (Because dallas is not in Texas, duh.)

3. Oh, yeah...Ice cream was a HUGE deal on our shift. EVERYONE was asking for it. And it wasn't just the tasty Big Bopper that was going, going, gone. It was a free for all...one dude even took his favorite and ate it while his cheeseburger was heating up. He was the coolest guy ever.

2. I went over to term D (SURPRISE!!) and hung out for an hour. When VJ came to relieve me, dude walks in and I can't remember what happened but I realized the pen for the sign in log wasn't working.

Chellie: Oh! Let me get you another pen.
Awesome Soldier: Cool.
Chellie: (Returns with pen, proceeds to try to write the date on the new sheet with the lid still on the new pen)
AS: (Chuckles)
Chellie: (Gives AS the sideways glance) Did you just laugh?
AS: Well it was more of a chuckle but yeah.
Chellie: Grrrr...
AS: What? It was funny.

This is why I am here, y'all. Amusement, however unintentional it may be.

1. Okay, so here's where I wish I knew how to write a really cool Aussie accent because this totally cool dude from Australia was in the house this weekend. He asked me for a sausage and egg burrito and I didn't understand him at first because I'm always caught off guard and lose my concentration real easy. Gator called me a space cadet today. Sadly, I wasn't offended. See what I mean? You've already forgotten about the Super Cool Aussie. I asked him to sit down at the bar and read the paper to me.

So...there you go. I have some funny stuff from the week before but I didn't have time to post it...I've been working on this one for 2 days...my life sucks. Not really but I don't have a lot of time for games and blogging and it's pissing me off. AND I'm totally freaking out about meeting with an editor for a whole EIGHT minutes on Saturday.

I'm sooo thinking this is going to lead to a repeat of THE INCIDENT except with me in the leading role.

Sigh.

Saving the world, one g'day mate at a time.
