Default Should I have thrown the Soda out...

So my wife wants a MCD Happy meal, and I say OK, I will take the Stang (with the top down) since it is now below 95 degrees! I get the Happy Meal, and have them put the small soda in one of those flimsy 4-slot holders, and put it on the floor on the passenger side. As I leave the MCD's, I hit a light, and wouldn't you know - a Coffee-Canned Civic with a 3-foot wing pulls right beside me...and revs (OK, Farts...). Sitting at the red light I pondered throwing the soda out of the car, and then eating some rice, but my wife would ask "Where is my Orange Drink Dear?"...tough to explain that one... By now, the light changes and all I can do is listen as the resonating Folders can passes me... I felt soooo bad! What would you have done???? Now the idiot thinks I was afraid to run...scared off by his Big Wing no doubt!

You could've always gotten her another orange drink. In fact, you could've splurged and gotten her a medium orange drink. Would've been worth it, IMO.

Oh well. Maybe next time. If nothing else, you've given some rice roach a false sense of security. That should help him make an even bigger idiot out of himself next time!



Take care,
~Chris

You may have been able to take off just a little quicker than normal and still beat him. But then he would have thought you were really racing and he almost beat you. Tough call. Or you could hang on to the pop with your right hand and just run him up to the end of first and then let off. Next time you should make your wife go along so she can hold the drink and you won't have to worry about it at all.

You made the right call...who knows if you even could have taken that guy. Civics are f'n fast, man...

LMAO

I would've chucked the soda, smoked the ricer, gone back to mickie Ds to get another soda, as well as a victory Mr. Pibb for my mighty ***.

Yeah, next time I will go ahead and run... I have a Shop-Vac at home that should clean up the mess!

I was thinking, if I HAD thrown out the drink, the ricer would have thought I was trying to reduce weight in order to have a chance

That is a dillema RED92LX50,
Unfortunately now that ricer has a mustang "kill" story to tell all his friends
I've had to miss a few rice eating opportunities myself, but there'll ALWAYS be more rice flying around. Just kill that clown the next time you see him farting around the roads.

PLEASE!. Then come here and take a few out. Hell, if you get good at it, you'd be in high demand from coast to coast! Could be looking at an entirely new profession! Of course, you'd be on the road at least 8 months out of the year, and then who would get your wife her orange drink???

No, I couldn't do that to you and your family. Nevermind, I'll take care of the ricers around here myself.



Take care,
~Chris

Damn Chris, that isn't what I meant .....although now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. A hit man for ricers....i like it
