Writer's Block Stories

Once again I sit here with all of these thoughts flying around my mind about what to write about.

What might be interesting to the teeming masses out there in the world that may be reading these very words?

What can I write that may entice the rest of humanity to read these words to get them to become part of the teeming masses?

What will be the very next words that I type?

(I kind of cheated there. The next words I typed ended up being in the line above where I typed "What will be the very next words that I type?"...)

I have all sorts of topics flying through my mind but my mind is so far out there it is hard to grab a particular one.

I grabbed this one.

And I wasn't even thinking about it.

Aren't you glad I did?

Thee End

Peace and Love,
Thee Rob

Who's Ringo? Seriously???

So I was at "The Office" (bar) doing "research" when the person who happened to be serving me beverages that day came up to me and asked:

"Hey Rob, guess who's birthday it is?"

I had no idea who's birthday it was but knew Ringo's was close (back when she asked me this question).

SO I REPLIED:

"RINGO'S?"
(Actual reply)

She looked at me like I was stupid and said:

"WHO'S RINGO???
(Another actual reply)

I was flabbergasted and dismayed that someone who was old enough to serve me beverages didn't know who Ringo was.

I'll give this person's mom (who also serves beverages) credit though; she knew who I was talking about.

In fact, now that I think about it, I was wearing a Beatles T-Shirt when she asked this question and just pointed to a certain point on my chest (that was covered by the T-Shirt) and said:

"THIS IS RINGO!"

I forgot the beverage server's reply to that one.

The whole point of this story is that to this day I am somewhat shocked when someone doesn't know a member of the Fab Four - especially such a loveable guy with a name like Ringo.

I'll never understand it (or maybe don't want to).

Thee End

Peace and love,
Thee Rob
(a guy who has been a Beatles fan since they came to America and still is.)

P.S. The person who's birthday it actually was? I couldn't have cared less.
Ringo's would have been a lot cooler and it would have given me more of a reason to celebrate (like I need a reason to celebrate...).

The Yellow Ice Story

Ever see something yellow on your ice and wonder what it is?

Well I did.

THE STORY

I tend to go out during the afternoon to do research at the office.
By research I mean "socialize".
By socialize I mean I might be imbibing a beverage or two.

My beverage of choice is good old America beer.

I always order two of these tasty drinks at a time and put them in a large mug.
It also keeps the bartender (I mean fellow office worker) happy because they don't have to wait on me as often.
I also add ice to the mug because I like my drinks cold.

Anyhow I was sitting in the "office" (take that any way you want) and noticed something yellow on the ice that was in my drink.

I reached down to pick the offending ice cube up only to find out...
it was a reflection of the liquids I was pouring down my throat.

Boy did I feel dumb.

The Dry Ice Story

Back in the seventies I worked at this grocery store, and for a time I worked in the frozen food department.

Back then when the frozen foods were delivered they were packed in dry ice.

I used to go to a lot of concerts and ballgames back then and of course we had to take a cooler full of beverages for the ride there and back.

Well I had the brilliant idea of  just taking a couple of pieces of this dry ice with us to keep our liquids cold.

Who wants to spend 50 cents (or whatever it cost back then) for a bag of ice when we had access to something that would keep our goodies quite cold?

It also seemed at the time that it would last longer than a regular bag of ice.

The plan worked fine on the trip up as long as we didn't touch any of the "dry" stuff
(that "stuff" can really stick to you).

The trip back didn't work out so well.

After the concert (or ballgame, whatever) was over, we returned to our vehicle only to find our liquid refreshments frozen solid.

It was too late in the evening to replenish them, everything was closed.

We were flabbergasted, somewhat amused and more than a little disgusted.

I learned a lesson that day.

Peace and love,
Thee Rob

The Server That Reminded Me Of A Nurse Story

I was at the office (bar) one day and the person that takes care of everyone there by serving beverages, etc. , happened to be wearing a white top and other apparel that kind of made her look like a nurse.

SO I SAID TO HER

"You know what? You kind of look like a nurse today."
(actual quote)

SO SHE GOES
to tell her old man (significant other, boyfriend, main squeeze) who also happens to put in time at the office (but doesn't serve)

AND SAYS TO HIM:

"Rob says I look like a nurse."
(actual quote)

TO WHICH HE REPLIED 
(WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE)

"Good, my johnson needs a cast."
(actual quote)

The guy was so quick with the response (and he's kind of a goofy looking character anyhow) that I was truly impressed and amused.

Impressed and amused enough to write about it.

Thee End

Peace and love,
Thee Rob

I DOZED OFF AT A LED ZEPPELIN CONCERT...

Can you even imagine going to a Led Zeppelin concert and kind of fall asleep for a few minutes during it?

Well I did that.

It was at the Richfield Coliseum (located roughly halfway between Cleveland and Akron) back in 1977.

This was back in my prime partying years and needless to say I was in my prime partying that night.

SO MUCH SO
that a lot of the details of this momentous concert occasion are sketchy.

I do remember some things though.

FOR ONE THING
I remember dozing off a little bit towards the end of one particular song.

I couldn't remember exactly which song I had the audacity to actually start snoozing during but I remember the song that came on next.

Thanks to the internet I found the playlist of the songs performed that night.

Apparently I started to slumber towards the end of "White Summer/Black Mountain Side".

THE NEXT SONG WAS "KASHMIR".

I immediately woke up.

A lot of the details of that night are a little sketchy but I do remember that song coming on - giving me a second wind and rejuvenating me.

There are one or two other things I somewhat remember about that night.

But that's another story...

Peace and Love,
Thee Rob

April Fool's Day Prank - The Pregnancy Fake Out

 NOTE: The following story took place on April Fool's Day a year or two ago...


I was sitting at the "office" (bar) interacting with other associates when this buddy of mine (who was sitting next to me) happened to say -

"HAVE YOU HAPPENED TO SEE ANY KIND OF APRIL FOOLS' DAY KIND OF THING?" (or something to that effect).

To which I replied -

"NOPE".

(This all took place on April 1st)

HERE'S THE BACK STORY

This one gal that works at the "office" (I'll call her "Little Vixen") has a daughter that was expecting (a baby).
The daughter is an attractive, slim young babe with a really big belly.

At the time she wasn't due for 10 weeks.

Everyone wondered when the slim, young, attractive girl was going to pop she was so big.

SO ANYHOW

On this particular day, the "Little Vixen" happened to be working at the "office" and her impregnated daughter also happened to be there.

THERE WAS PEACE AND CALM WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

Little Vixen came running out of her work cubicle (kitchen) all excited and going nuts.

"C--------'S (insert name of daughter - didn't want to invade her privacy) WATER BROKE!!!

"I TOLD HER NOT TO WALK DOWN TO THE DAIRY QUEEN!"
(which happened to be a block or so away)

"SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO WALK IN THAT CONDITION!"

She then grabbed her phone acting all freaked out and pretended to be trying to get a hold of people.

WHAT THE HELL IS (insert name again)'S NUMBER???

Now I knew it was April Fools' Day and asked the upstanding citizens surrounding me:

"IS THIS SOME KIND OF APRIL FOOLS' DAY THING?"

To which most of them replied

"I DON'T THINK SO."

A little while later I asked her significant other (who also happens to work at the same establishment and does a lot of the clean -up duties)

"DID YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THAT UP?"
(Referring to the water-breaking thing)
(I was kind of curious what that would be like.)

He was cool about it. He just said

"NO, MAN. I MISSED OUT ON THAT ONE."

He played along with the gag too.

After a little while I realized that the grandmother-to-be (again) didn't accompany her beloved child to the hospital that she was supposedly enroute to.

"THAT'S KIND OF BAD
(I thought).
She's (Little Vixen) still working here when she's about to become a grandmother (again)?"

Then it hit me...

Peace and love,
Thee Rob


UPDATE: Grannie (Little Vixen), Daughter and grandson are doing fine.
