Sometimes there is a man

A time comes in this life. It is a time for a boy to become a man. A time for a man to become a king. A time for a man to demand the respect he deserves. And at this time I looked Gun Rack dead in her eyes and I said (paraphrasing the great Henry Ford) "You may do whatever you like so long as it is purchasing dress socks with me."

"We'll see" says she.

"Damn right we'll see!"

I think to myself.

...with ferocity.

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that Gigante Roboto is not to be messed with on dress sock shopping day!

That is all, you may return to your business.

Things heard but not believed 4/26

"Over there in the alley" - in response to the question "Where do you work?" - tell the story

"Are you guys having a baby?" - asked of my 15 year old sister...and myself. Perhaps Vons does overpay union labor after all

"I've maintained my hand strength through simian levels of masturbation" - I plead the 5th

"They put you in the trash" - My 4 year old niece describing people who are impolite.

...and while writing this post:

"so, we should include something about our ongoing debates...like how i'm smarter than you." - Gun Rack
"well, that's kind of a settled debate, isn't it?" - Gigante Roboto
"yes, but i'm not sure we settled on the same thing" - Gun Rack
