Yeah OK I'll let it slide this time... :P

Harvey Danger and the persistant air leak:

Chapter one:

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Yeah it's an air leak all right!" Harvey's companion Sandy Bunz sighed as the large vehicle refused to move from it's space at the T/A!!!!

PAGE 9

Sandy, looking so forlorned, sat behind the wheel of the non moving truck as Harvey went about the task of finding a some what competent mechanic to fix the PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS that's escaping from the non moving truck, all the while the Qual-Comm keeps beeping with agitated questions from a, somewhat, agitated dispatcher(Yeah I know, they all seem agitated).
Sandy, for the most part, ignored the barrage of questions.

Sound familiar????

I just gotta know - is Harvey a "Concert Pianist"? :lol: or a lumberjack maybe? (You know, the best logger there is....)

No, Harvey is everybodies "Scape Goat", Renegade Soda Jerk, Anti-Super Hero, Lost Sheep, Rival Timelord, Befuddled Trucker but not a CONCERT PIANIST, he may be slightly PISSED but not pianist or, would it that be peeing mist......

It also could be: Harvey Danger Private Instigator, ooppss, I mean Investigator. With his some what unfaithful companion Sandy Bunz and his very long suffering "Other", Honour Bach. Peforming deeds of daring don't and lots intrique with out all the shit.....

LMAO!

And to think this all started with nothing....

Chapter two is rapidly approaching....

holy crap driver, .... I think you need to be getting some more sleep!

:lol:

Sleep is for turtles!!!!!

Chapter Two: Sssssssssssssp!

The semi-reliable mechanic, Turner Rench, finished the air leak repair which, consisted of pouring airline anti-freeze in the brake lines. His reasoning; air temperature +5 degrees with a wind chill of -15 water will most defenitely cause air line freeze and the annoying Psssssssssssssssss!

Crisis averted Harvey once more bounded to the cab answered the agitated questions on the Qual-Comm, removed Sandy's panties from the heat vent and was ready to ride. That was until his Nextel barked out its obnoxious tone.
Harvey checked the caller ID and saw it was Colin O'Scopy the Secretary of the Sad State of Affairs(SSA).
"What the **** does he want!" Harvey whispered.
Sandy stuck her head out from the sleeper, grabbed her lingerie and asked what was going on.

More to come....

will sandy be jealous of this colin o'scopy person or what?

is it a "good buddy" ? :D

Not quite....

Colin is Harvey's ex-boss when Harvey was in the SSA which, by the way, should never be confused with the NSA(No Such Agency) ahh yes Air America!!!!!(Not the lame assed movie either)

Meanwhile, Harvey finished the cryptic conversation turned to Sandy and said "We have a job to do!"
"No shit!" Sandy replied not exactly sure what Harvey meant. She was used to Harvey going off on tangents and sometimes on small railroads.
Before she could utter another sound, Harvey was busy sending a nasty message on the Qual-Comm stating they were going to leave the trailer at the T/A and that the tractor was being put to better use which, in itself, was a huge joke since the ancient K-100 Aerodyne was just about on its last legs.

A little history is in order: Harvey drives for LackOFreight Transport out of Catsass, Oklahoma. The company that has freight to go out with but never any to come back with, hence the nick name Hurry Up and Wait Freight Lines. The company is owned by Hugh Johnson and his somewhat unstable wife Ivanna(More to it than meets the eye and notice the play on words).

With the message sent and not waiting for the obvious barrage of hateful responses, Harvey lept from the cab, removed his glasses and became TOTALLY BLIND........


This is going somewhere, not sure where yet but it is going through NOTHING to get there

Hey I quoted myself again...

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide, mountains sit in a line, LEONARD BERNSTEIN
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbionic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right

Needed a break from the never ending problems of:

HARVEY DANGER

Oh for the trivia minded there have been a few trucking TV shows.
The K-100 in the Harvey story is based on the truck in what, very lame, TV show of the late 70's. The actor who played the lead came from Sayerville, NJ.

What were the names of the three other shows?
For added honours: What was the original name of the show which starred a green W-900 KW???

"BJ and the Bear". Greg Evigan is actually from South Amboy, not Sayerville.

This is going to be http://ourworld.cs.com/sinestersrelm498/off+topic.gif But hey Dodgeman whats up with your trucking career.

Yeah South Amboy, Sayerville they're close enough to be one and the same...

Doc, did you know Harvey Danger has a website?
http://www.harveydanger.com (I don't think it's your Harvey though.)

They say love is blind. Was Harvey blind with love for Scratchy, uh, I mean Sandy Bunz? Or was he blinded by something else? The urgency of his mission maybe?

What does she vant? Something even bigger? And does it have anything to do with the cryptic Nextel call?

Is the plot ever gonna thicken? (Where are those blue pills anyway?)

Yeah I know about that Harvey Danger here's the one hit wonder they had...

FLAGPOLE SITTA

i had visions, i was in them
i was looking into the mirror
to see a little bit clearer
rottenness and evil in me
fingertips have memories
mine can't forget the curves of your body
and when i feel a bit naughty
i run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)
i'm not sick but i'm not well

and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
been around the world and found

that only stupid people are breeding
the cretins cloning and feeding
and i don't even own a tv
put me in the hospital for nerves
and then they had to commit me
you told them all i was crazy
they cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, god damn you
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well
i wanna publish zines

and rage against machines
i wanna pierce my tongue
it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
the trivial's sublime
i'd like to turn off time
and kill my mind, you kill my mind
paranoia paranoia

everybody's coming to get me
just say you never met me
i'm going underground with the moles
hear the voices in my head
i swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
but if you're bored then you're boring
the agony and the irony, they're killing me
i'm not sick but i'm not well

and i'm so hot cause i'm in hell
i'm not sick but i'm not well
and it's a sin to live so well



Not really!!!

I have no clue as to what Ivanna vants. It may be something bigger or needs a real good laugh.... No the Nextel is Colins deal, you know, Colin O'Scopy a real pain in the ass as ye shall soon discover.

As for the plot? Are you kidding??? I can't get the tapioca to thicken let alone the bloody plot!!!

I know where the blue pills are!!!

page 10

You mean his name shoulda been Rect O'Scopy?
Remember Little Johnny saying "Wrecked 'em Hell! It killed 'em both"?

No, his name is Colin and his assistant is Eileen Dover of the world reknowned Dover family from that other well know city!!!

what city is that?

New York

London

Paris

Munich

Grand Rapids

Walla Walla

Lincoln

Lizard Lick

Whynot(yes it does exist)

Search Light

Toowoomba

Minot

Iowa City

Long Island City.....

:? multiple choice?

lol

NO!!!!!!!

Putting Harvey on hold...

Suppose there was a "HOT LOAD" and no one would/could pull it????

An interesting concept based, in part, around the hate and discontent regarding the HOS and Haz-Mat dilemma!!!

In the not to distant future there will come a time when all drivers will stop driving in protest. What will be the outcome of such a protest? Interesting question, more than likely nothing will happen but conjecture, hopeful wishing and maybe a little instigation may spark a response, if not curiosity!!!

Well, does this mean Harvey's gonna pay $100+ to get his hazmat endorsement? What about you Doc?

$100 bucks!!!!!

damn!

they should pay YOU to pull stuff that blows up :idea: :D

than again, them tanker yankers gotta have something wrong in thier head ... :lol:

I won't pay $100 for the haz-mat, it would only condone the money making scam every state is trying to pull on the very people who help the economy move along. Not to mention the "finger printing" bull shit that comes along with it. Some how I thought the era of COMMUNISM was dead.
Does the idea of finger printing all drivers make me feel safer, HELL NO! It shows signs of an Anal Retentive group of politicals running amuck all the while hiding behind a hastily written law called the "Patriot Act!"

Well, I guess I would fit in this category real well, damn I really miss tanker yanking for fun and profit... Oh, wait I guess it was more for fun cause, there sure as hell was no profit in it!!!

Somewhere in the not to distant future a load planner gets a call from the company's biggest account, let's say NALCO, he turns to the dispatcher and asks for the availability of a truck to pick up this "hot" load from the money account. The dispatcher, in turn, tells the planner he had no one to pick up the load due to the lack of drivers who hold the Haz-Mat endorsement on their CDL. Panic fills the room, what to do, can't tell the shipper there was no one available...
Now envision this same scenario with every company plus, lines and lines of commuters waitning to fill their vehicles fuel tanks when no gas haulers are driving.
Would the politicals declare war on the very same drivers they helped out of a job due to insane demands and unrealistic laws???

This is depressing Doc. I say let's go back to the Edge of the Bed and have some fun....

that same law affects me too.... I shelled out 80 US bucks for a FAST card, got fingerprints done.... and its just another worthless thing in my wallet... yay!

should I leave now??? :shock: :shock: :P

No need to yet. Doc's misplaced his blue pills again :roll: That's about my luck. I can't get lucky even when it means NOTHING :!:

Oh you think so!!!!

The BLUE ovals are where I can get to them, just need a good reason to open the bottle :P

Getting back to a depressing subject....
Forget NALCO. Let's say the call is from Proctor and Gamble, and the load is hairspray. Most people don't know that's considered hazmat, and it has to be placarded. There are lots of things we use every day in our houses for personal hygene, etc. that are hazmat loads. Flashlight batteries is another example. I pulled a load of 4 (that's four) forklifts once. It had to be placarded because of the batteries on the forklifts.

I still can't believe Werner doesn't require the endorsement anymore.

ettu Brutus


:?: :twisted: :?:

Anybody get it?

Trivia.... there are actually 12 ides, one for each month, falling on either the 13th or 15th of the month.

Yes indeed... "I've come to bury Caeser, not praise him!!!"


This is also true!!!!

The above trivia courtesy of my wife. :lol:

But I learned something new...

I just spent the last half hour reading every page about nothing and the begingin of what could be a very good story and it all just ends, leaving me hanging in suspense......

But of course that was the whole idea... Harvey and his girl Thursday(I know it's supposed to be Friday but she left in a snit leaving Thursday to her own devices) are on hiatus until a new plot thicken agent comes along!!!

In other words I ran out of story line but feel free to add something to the story!!!

nothing?
 

perfect topic for me. I know nothing about nothing I am also a master of nothing , in fact I have nothing to say. Is there nothing I missed out saying? yes , nothing.

I was just wondering, though I no longer am, and just thought I would write down what I was wondering before I moved along, I mean before I forget what I was wondering since I moved along, that if I wrote something about something other than nothing in this thread, like perhaps a question regarding an ideology of itself instead of just rhyming or rambling or something of the sort that resulted in nothingness, would that post be in violation of the posting requirements, and therefore subject to all penalties and disciplinary actions inherent in the administration of said thread, to be carried out by the legally appointed representatives, or would that action, the carrying out of the duties and the record of it, in itself constitute an aforementioned, yet unspoken, somethingness?

Re: nothing?
 

I believe that the wording, "is there nothing I missed" would only be true if you included everything, and therefore it would have to be concluded by saying, "no, nothing" as opposed to "yes, nothing" Also if you know nothing about nothing then you cannot claim to be a master of nothing, you would have to know everything about nothing in order to be considered a master of nothing. I believe knowing nothing about nothing would place you at about, or even lower than, the incompetent level, not that there is anything wrong with that, but you may wish to consider that other topics might be more perfect for you unless as you said you have nothing to say which may not require any kind of mastery, but I also wish to mention that it is unusual for a master of nothing to have nothing to say about nothing because if someone were a master of nothing then I suspect they would have a lot to say, at least about nothing.
