Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
I don't know if anyone knows but I drive a pick-up truck - a Toyota Tacoma to be precise.
WHAT!?!?! He's driving an import!?! Yes, I do indeed.
To be honest, my choice in foreign vs. domestic was based on two reasons:
Not very 'patriotic' I realize, but to me my priority was to my family first, i.e., not getting us into deep debt with a crappy vehicle that I'd owe more on than it's actually worth.
But I'm digressing from my original intention....
I was getting gas at the CostCo (it'll always be Price Club to me) on Morena Blvd this morning before heading into work.
As I'm sure many guys will agree, my truck is a bit messy considing my schedule. I tend to throw junk onto the floor in the front and clean it up when presented with the chance. Such a chance is (for me) usually when I'm filling up my gas tank.
So....after jamming the nozzle into the gas tank and setting the catch, I walked around to the passenger side of the truck and started gathering all of the junk/trash on the floor. This - like most times - means crushed diet soda cans and half-empty bottle of water.
As I walked around the truck to deposit all these containers that were at the moment over-flowing in my arms, a voice rang out:
Don't you believe in recycling?
I turned to see who said it; a gentlemen of about 40 years was pumping gas into his Toyota Corolla behind my truck.
Uhhh, recycling? I usually don't have time nor the space to store all the cans & bottles.... I replied.
*Who the frack was this guy questioning me!?!*
A pause and then he responded: Ahhh....I don't buy that....
I looked at this nimrod for a moment or two while listening for that distinctive 'CLUNK!' from the gas nozzle automatically shutting off.
I looked at this eco-psycho for a moment longer and replied: I live in an apartment that doesn't have a lot of storage place for this crap. Besides, I pay the CRV when I buy them, so to me that exempts me from hauling eight bags of crushed cans down to the recycling place.
A look of irritation flashed across this face.
Don't you feel any responsibility for helping to the save the environment?!?! he said.
I thought about how I could respond to this nimrod: politely, harshly, or simply ignore him and his stupid question. Then I thought actions speak louder than words.
With that thought in mind, I walked over to him and dumped all the cans and plastic bottles at his feet and said to him "Here - you're more responsible than I am so you can take care of it."
As I walked back to my truck to finish pumping my gas, I heard him sputtering under his breath in between the sounds of laughter coming from the older lady that was pumping gas into her BMW and listening to us.
And as I pulled out of the gas station, I saw this eco-freindly gentlemen doing what he was at first appaled by: he was tossing the cans and bottles into the garbage can.
And it didn't surprise me one-little-bit. This clown had the temerity to chastise me about throwing them away, but it wasn't a problem if HE did it himself. It's exactly what I've come to expect from ecology nimrods and liberals: talk the talk, but wimp out when it comes to walking the walk.
That's great. I love it when someone gets exactly what they deserve. Ya done good, Mikey.

"Clowns to the Left of Me"
You ever listen to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the Seventies" weekend? It's my personal favorite.
I can never hear that song and not think of that scene.
Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullsh*t you, all right? I don't give a good f**k what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop.
