What I learned at the 2006 Nam Knights Rolling Thunder Picnic
By
Steve "Tools" Krochmalick
Bomber has new hand signals
or he is fending off a swarm of bees.
50 pounds of burning charcoals are hot
The open side if the charcoal pit is even hotter
Levi 501 button fly jeans are not a good choice to wear around a HOT charcoal pit
.youd think by the time you walked to the rest room the buttons would be cool
Screaming in the mens room creates an echo
Plastic red/yellow/green key chain beads do melt
Plastic red/yellow/green key chain beads cool very quick and makes an excellent adhesive on Levis
Sun screen is for wimps
.and it burns your eyes when you sweat.
Sun screen does make for an excellent lubricant
and plastic sun glasses melt very quickly when they slide off your nose into a pan of boiling hot dogs.
You cant see the flame from a sterno can
once you learn that, its fun to watch other people learn it
You can burn you hand on both sides at the same time with little difficulty
.once from the sterno flame and again from the chafing dish when you try to jerk your hand out
Turning a sterno can on its side to expedite lighting causes them to leak
thanks for the brilliant idea Harry
Sterno fluid does not defy gravity
and it feels EXACTLY like sweat as it rolls down your hand and wrist and forms droplets on your elbow
burning hair stinks
.but its a smell you get used to
Drinks should not be on any thing with wheels
Wolfie is a good carpenter.
Wolfie sucks at sewing
his colors are on the wrong side
but somehow thats Stone Colds fault.
YAWGNORW carries spare plugs.
Tigger carries a spare dog
Wolfie carries spare fuses.
Rocky carries a spare cell phone
Nobody carries a spare fuel line.
The person who answered the door at the park police horse stables frightened me
thankfully Rocky was armed
Tank and Wolfie ride two up next year
its easier to keep track of and fix one broken bike rather than two
Tank sweats a lot
.and if youre hot and thirsty enough you CAN suck the remaining 2 inch chunk of ice through the &Mac184; hole of the water bottle
.impressive
Baggers can carry a lot of crap
none of it is the owners
When you look for the one thing you DID pack in the bagger you cant find it
until you get home.
Sweating feels exactly like sterno fluid running down your arm
..trying to explain to a stranger sun screen is an excellent lubricant and you were squinting because you had previously lost your glasses in the hot dogs as the reason why you panicked and doused said stranger lighting his $30 cigar with your last bottle of water
.. is useless.
Asking the same stranger for his bottle of water now that he has been cooled off by your water is dumb.
Yelling at the ice cream vendor to help the pregnant lady first is even dumber
especially when the pregnant lady is a guy, and the vendor no speaka da English
Goofing off at work and typing about things you learned over the weekend and getting busted by your boss is almost as dumb.
