There's a reason

There is a very good reason I don't go into Wal-Mart unless I absolutely have to. I hate the place. The brain scanning beams are becoming harder to dodge too. By now you've all seen the "People of Wal-Mart" website, right?

srstrufax

Alas, I needed to go into the Wal-Mart on the north side of Dothan a few days ago. I needed a small grey ladder that will be used for access to my cockpit. I knew they carried them, or used to anyway. This Wal-Mart is one of the cleaner ones.

Shortly after entering I was near the big screen TVs at the back of the store looking at LED HDTVs. A mans voice came over the intercom as it crackled to life. One word was said. Only 1. "Testicles".

Then silence.

Yes, I kid you not.

But wait, I'm not done. A few minutes later I was in the bread aisle of the supermarket section where I witnessed a disturbing sight. The memory will haunt my nightmares for ages to come.

An employee was bent over stacking the large plastic trays used to hold the loaves as I rounded the corner. His backside was towards me. He was wearing a pair of light blue nylon shorts. Aqua mostly.

But wait, there's more. He's a BIG fella. At least 350 lbs and about 5'8". On the back side of this fella's light blue shorts was a very prominent 5 inch wide 8 inch tall skidmark on the outside of his shorts.

I'll give you a moment to let that sink in.

*waiting*

Yes, this fellow had shat his pants, and was perfectly comfortable continuing to work and handling food with a large greasy fecal leakage on the outside visible prominently for all the world to see.

Wal-Mart, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for reminding me of why I despise entering your store whenever possible.

How could we ever have stooped this low. I can't make this shit up people.

Oh yes, my cockpit arrived and is taking shape. It's in the house and is starting to look like an F-16 is supposed to look. Now, to move everything into the cockpit and work begins on making it functional.

At least I'm getting a sizeable chunk back from the fed. Still, the bastards took over $5,900 of my money this year. I guess Princess Nancy needs more liquor, and free tattoo removal is clearly more important.

Pics of my cockpit to follow within a few weeks. Oh the fun I will have in it. Do me a favor. Piss off a liberal today. Somebody has to do it.

Nope, I was with my three best guy friends from the academy. The GF wasn't too happy she couldn't come but she'll live.

MTV has gone SERIOUSLY down the toilet a few years ago. I can't watch it now at all without dry heaves. Don't remember that one. How long ago?

MTV's AMP aired from about 1998 to 2001.

Yes, the Texas GM was known for screaming and cursing. If he were to do that under today's conditions, I am sure he would lose his job. The day this happened was really hot, I was tired and felt like a wet rag from the heat and humidity. After listening to the yelling for over two hours, I had just had enough. My feeling was take this job and shove it so I told him off, in a respectful manner. The next day was like nothing ever happened. Over the years, I have worked for a lot of different people and found that the bullies will usually respect you if you stand up to them. Just make sure it's a damn good cause and that you are absolutely right. Best one was the guy in Des Moines. He had a habit of firing people for anything and at the drop of the hat. "You're fired, You're fired, You're fired, get your ass out of here, You're fired!" Then a few hours later, his office manager would call and say, "Mr X expects you back to work in the morning." Usually being fired by him meant an afternoon off. Again, I got pissed at being "fired" for no good reason, so I went home, grabbed the wife and went to the Twin Cities for several days. When I got back, he went nuts demanding to know where I had been. I simply stated that he had fired me and I was out job hunting. After that, I was never fired again (although other people in the terminal were).

I would expect you're correct. It's a mass-spring system, likely classic freshman physics...

I'm willing to bet that every trigger group of similar make is slightly different, just because the hammer mass & spring tension will vary slightly from unit to unit.

That's why that characterization is for my piece. I'd bet others are pretty similar, though - say, within a millisecond...

And as for why I'm doing such silly shit? You may soon know.

In reply to armeav8r, #4:
And you were expecting a longer time why?

I never timed mine, but I pull the trigger it goes boom.

Partly curiosity. Figured it was milliseconds, but how many? 1? 5? 10? 100?

I was figuring in the neighborhood of 10...
