Calm

quote:

Troper recalls the accident involving a shovel sliding forward into his face. (Digging a snow fort, long story.) Immediately after the accident, I was the only one who new the number for an ambulance. It was not 911 at the time, and I was the YOUNGEST of all the people involved. Everyone else was marveling that I had gotten into another ambulance worthy accident or going EWW! when I showed them the gash. Before I got into the ambulance I had to calmly tell the police officer that yes, it was an accident and not deliberate.
Another example, from me, no ambulance this time. In an odd set of circumstances, I ended up hanging off the side of one horse while getting kicked by a second horse before falling to the ground. I hit the ground and stop to do an "injury check" (AKA: Saying to myself "What hurts" and mentally mapping injuries.) while everybody else went "Oh Crap" I pop back up and tell them they don't need to call an ambulance, because I know I'm not that badly hurt.
For the record, the above horse related incident left me with bruises on my left hip, bruises up the whole of my back, and a nice hoof shaped bruise on my left forearm. And in all fairness to the people who panicked while watching, had my left arm not been where it had been; the horse's hoof would have hit my face. And yes, I go "Oh Crap" after the fact because a hoof to the face is one of the easiest ways to get killed by a horse.
Still, both times, I'm calm and conversational.

Trainer

quote:

Wow, horses are a theme here. This troper is a pro horse trainer/rider. 14 years in the business means plenty of falls and other accidents. On one occasion, a hunter I was riding slipped on a wet patch in the ring and fell. The resulting fall left me with a broken knee and mild concussion. I had time for one deadpan line as the horse went down. "I think we're falling." Yep. On another occasion, I got tossed into a fence that a jumper refused, dislocated by shoulder, and fractured my skull. Another concussion, needless to say. Apparently I was holding my dislocated arm and the EMT asked me if I was in a lot of pain. "Not particularly," I replied. "Are those banana milkshakes?" Well, in my defense, I was concussed and I'm always a fan of banana. Last example: I fractured a rib falling off a horse in the schooling ring. I still had a medal class to do, so I rode it anyway, fractured ribs and all (my mother was none too proud of this, but my trainer thought I was gutsy). I finished the round but had a rail down, keeping me out of the ribbons. As I walk out of the ring, my trainer asks me how I'm feeling. "Well, I would be a lot better if the fence stayed up." Hm, for some reason a clear round wasn't the highest priority for everyone else around me...

Expletives

quote:

This troper has a love of uncommon expletives. In middle school he often cried "Sweet Jesus!" in surprise or exasperation. Now he's moved on to more multilingual curses such as "aiyaaaaa..." for annoyed sighs, "scheisse..." and "oiy..." for beleaguered sighs or expressions of empathy, "ay mis dios!" for whining or resentment, and "Yeshua!" in place of the regular Anglican version for astonishment. This troper and his friends also use a great many lines from Futurama, Family Guy, Dave Chappelle and Eddie Izzard in common conversations.
"I was on the moon....with Steve" to explain absence or whereabouts.
"Goodbyyyyyye......I love youuuuuu..." when parting company.
"Hey, [person], how's [activity or job]?" "It's alright." "Poor, [person]..."
Any mocking "awwww" is replaced with Zoidberg's "uuuuuuugggggh"
"That just raises further questions!" when explanations do not address the issue.
"...and-it's-a-great-way-to-stay-in-shape" when going through adjectives that describe an activity.
"Dave...I'm gonna race 'im." At. Any. Stop.
Having seen Hot Fuzz more than once, any absent-minded "mmmm" thrown out in conversation is echoed by a recreation of the line delivered by Nick Frost. ("Ever do crack like in Training Day?" "Yeah, sure." "Mmmm!")
Web-series, The Legend of Neil, has also seen great use recently.
"OLD man...you're not- you're not saying it right."
"You deserve it for committing murder."
"These might be your favorite parts, but this is important too." Emphasis on TOO.

Yeah, I'm just not seeing it here. Maybe if someone were to point it out to me, but usually these things tend be written in "slang-as-filtered-through-white-middle-class", or calling attention to how they "totally weren't thugs". This just seems like a sweet story.

So let me tell you about the shittiest parent on the motherfucking planet.

I work at a grocery store and this man comes in with his 11 year old son. He buys a pack a cigarettes and a two cases of beer. The son was holding a two dollar drawing pad and placed it on the belt and I guess the dad didn’t notice it at first but when I was about to scan the pad he asked where’d it have come from and turned towards the kid and asked “Did you put that poo poo up there?”. He told me to put it back and then told his 11 year old child that he “ain’t paying for that gay rear end notebook.”. So I looked at the kid, who was close to tears and saying how he ran out of paper at home and my heart broke. So I gave the pad to him, for free, and told the dad I would take care of it. I gave the kid some tokens for a game outside and said I would look forward to buying some of his drawings and paintings when he’s all famous. He kids face was so priceless and I thought everything was good. But then, about 10 ten minutes after giving the kid his notebook, I walked outside and saw this. The drawing pad all ripped up and tossed on the pavement. I could only imagine what happened in the parking lot, but I know that that poor kid heart is loving ripped apart, just like this pad.

I’m loving horrified that there are parents like this, who, just because it’s not masculine or gender specificthey won’t let their children follow their true passions or explore interests that lead to their happiness. Even more so, I’m horrified that parents don’t care about the fine arts anymore because it doesn’t have job security. Since when did it ever matter to a child if their passion makes them money or not? Parenting is about supporting whatever makes your child happy. Have some loving consideration for your child’s wants not your homophobic and anti-art ideals.

She says, "oh, cool! Wait here!" and goes to the break room to get her SotC t-shirt out of her bag. I compliment her on it, pay for the game, and walk out. I'm gay. :smuggo:
