The Metro Spirit's Best Day Ever, OR What We Do When Amy's Not Around
AmCar and RayB aren't content to catch freebies. They throw back the ones' they don't want. Later, RayB ran out and stuck a Metro Spirit sticker to the 95 Rock van. Wuzzup, Joe White?!
The Pope. In Augusta. False idol? You be the judge.
Marty Stuart with Graphic Designer Heather Young (right)Associate Publisher Amber Carlson (left) jumped in when she saw Stuart's hair.
She thought there was a pageant going on somewhere.
Metro Spirit staff hard at work. Beer makes selling, writing and designing better.(L-R): He-Yo, Er.T., and JayC (fake rap names are awesome)
Ain't no party like a Metro Spirit party, 'cause a Metro Spirit party don't stop.
See that in Stuart's hand? Yes, baby. That's a Metro Spirit newspaper.So it's St. Paddy's Day around here, and if there' s a parking spot left in the entire 5 block radius I'll be surprised. One of our ad reps parked her car in a reserved spot because it was the only space open. Y'all, this NEVER happens. We are very respectful of other people who work in the building. In TWO YEARS this has never happened.
But the woman whose space was taken wasn't about to be reasonable. She blocked the ad rep's car in with her own and called and left a nasty message that she wouldn't move it until the ad rep came up and apologized to her. The problem is that in the process she blocked in six other cars.
One of our employees left a message that she should move her car because of this. And the woman came in here demanding to see a supervisor, and when I offered to help, began cursing at me. It was kind of awesome. I'll admit that I baited her by demanding that she watch her language (when really I could give a flying crap about what kind of language people use). She freaked out and yelled at me and stomped outside and around the building.
It was, to say the least, amusing, because it was over a parking space. But the worst is when three different employees tried to appease her in the parking lot. "You white bastard," she said to one of them. "I'm going to blow your head off."
In the meantime, a big ol' redneck rebel flag flying float went by on Broad Street, as part of the parade. They had a big ol' outhouse on the stupid thing, and they were shooting people with Super Soakers. Three toddlers got it full in the face. Pandemonium ensued. A.W. came in laughing so hard at the stupidity of everyone and their grandma that I thought she was crying really hard.
"No," she gasped. "This is the best day ever. We should all just go home and go to bed."
To recap what happened today:
- The Cincinatti Kid came by to stalk Tom
- Erika performed a rousing dance routine to "Roll Out" by Ludacris
- Had lunch from Taco Town
- JayC gave his girlfriend a black eye (with makeup, but it still sounds bad)
- St. Paddy's Day parade started rolling.
- An employee is threatened with a shooting by a crazy woman who works in a law office
- Marty Stuart - woohoo!
- Babies sprayed in the face
- RayB punks 95 Rock (suckas!)
- Alice gets pinched by some random douchebag on the street ("Hey, where's your green?" J.C., "You should've said, 'Hey, where's your frat house?'")
And if you see the woman who drives this car, for Christ's sake,get out of her way. She might be trying to park.
cadillacs aren't just cars, they are obstacles.
