Agreed Mac...and he's no embassador.


He's the ambassador of Dragonstonia and he's invoking diplomatic immunity from prosecution under the public decency laws. That and he doesn't want to go to jail for having outstanding parking tickets. It's good to be the ambassador.

In fact, I think I'll put on my dragon av tonight and go to Avilion and claim to be the ambassador of Dragonovia. I'll command people to take me to their leader so we can open up trade routes and sign the Kyoto Accord and the DAFTA (Dragonovia Avilion Free Trade Agreement).

(Don't think for one second I'm not serious. I'm doing this)

I hear tell that some guy named Mumfuzz was looking for a fitting ending to his Second Life...perhaps he'd be up for this expedition, to go out in a blaze of glory?

That's a stellar idea! I could make him the ambassador to The Dragon's Democratic Republic of Dragonstein. He wouldn't last 30 seconds before they immolated him.

Got a worse one - a guy came in for an interview for a high level professional job. He apparently had his wife with him, and he left her down in the lobby of the building. not a big deal - there were some interesting shops, a nice restaurant, book/newpaper stand, etc. After about a half hour, she got bored. Then she got mad. She came upstairs and demanded to know what was taking so long and asked that the receptionist break into the interview to tell him to hurry the heck up.

Guess who didn't get the job. I would have divorced her on the spot.


LOL! I can just see that happening as well! I have one that aces that though.

There was this couple who had a double interview, i.e. both of them together for two jobs in an incredibly rich expanding blue chip multi-national company. The wife set it up through a senior person she knew there, who also kindly gave a sort of prep session before the main interview with the GM - it was a complete gift of a setup. The senior guy explained the problems they had maintaining their workforce and the hassles that they had with work visas, etc. In the main interview, the GM explained how they feared the potential of a new Democrat administration coming in and so were rushing through some multi billion dollar developments and were keenly looking for new employees.

The wife explained that she really wanted a job at another location with the same company and tried to play the offices off against each other. Then, when she basically had an offer from the other location, she refused to give them references, telling them to get off their asses and do it themselves. That prospect obviously then fell through, so she got back in touch with GM of the first location and said that she was close friends with a Congresswoman (Democrat) who would help rush through the husband's visa (not that he needed a work visa at all...!), so that both could start working there ASAP.

A total gift of two cool jobs fell through because of the sheer arrogance and lack of political savvy of the wife, who also, just as a bonus, pressed all of their most sensitive "I will bring you hassles" buttons . The only thing that came out of it was that the reputation of her contact in the company fell through the floor, and he was just trying to do her a favour!

Imagination challenge: tell us a story from her life.


Ah, a rare picture of Blues harmonica player and professional pig wrestler Blind Jessie McGee. Born at a young age in 1897, in Hornbeak Tennessee, Jessie lost an eye at the age of 3 in an unfortunate ferret wrangling incident. Not one to let misfortune dominate her, and despite lacking any depth perception, Jessie was driving her daddies truck at the age of 4, and the local school bus at 5.

Jessie followed her father into the then illegal bareknuckle pig wrestling circuit, which was organised, at the time, by the now infamous budgie smuggling Stringfellow crime family.
Her progress through the ranks of the sport, was slow at first, and only really took of when she came to the attention of renowned coach and former world champion "Peanut" Pete Rankin, who had himself started out in the sport as a child, shortly after immigrating from Scotland to avoid conscription into the Fife and Forfarshire Yeomanry during the '07 border raids, known as the " sheep fiddling ".
Under his tutelage, Jessie quickly became county and state champion, and by the age of 12, she was ready for the big time.

Bad luck was again to hamper Jessie, when on the evening of the selection bout which would lead to the lightweight championship match, illness struck her down. The massive pig pox epidemic decimated the southern states, and particularly the ranks of the professional wrestlers. Although she survived without permanent damage, her mentor " Peanut" succumbed, and her heart for the fight was gone.

For some years, Jessie lost herself in a downward spiral of self recrimination and drug abuse. Jessie was earning a small amount of cash, wresting occasionally in underground cash games, sometimes resorting to the very dangerous variant of the sport. " hudthatyabastad ", another import from Caledonia.

Her addiction to paint stripper and sweetie mice led to involvement in some serious crime, including being a getaway driver for a gang of revolting cut throats known as The Cartel.

Jessie was the only one of the gang ever caught. She was arrested while attempting to shoplift a half pint of turpentine and a quarter pound of sweetie mice, and was identified as a member of the " Cartel Clique " when she was searched and the keys to the model T Ford getaway car were found.

Yet again, fate was to cruelly interfere in Jessie's life, and she was miss-identified as a foreign national, because of her fondness for blaspheming in a thick Scottish brogue, thought to her by her beloved Peanut. Because of this she was prosecuted under the 1922 Gittttmoh Act, which meant that there was an automatic presumption of guilt for anyone unable to pronounce the word Nuclear to the satisfaction of the then state governor. Compounded by an inadequate defence supplied by a young lawyer whose field of expertise seemed to lay more in fly fishing than in court work, young Jessie received a stiff sentence.

Prison for the now 24 year old Jessie was a hard environment. She tried to keep a low profile, determined to complete her sentence so that she could put her life back on track.
She managed this for the first few months, but eventually she was targeted by the Cottonmunchers, a notorious prison gang, headed by 6'4" Connie Lundquist, the first recorded female serial killer. Before her capture and trial, Lundquist was known to have disposed of the bodies of her 17 male victims in meat pies that she sold from the bed of her pickup truck.

edit
(At this point I managed to derail my account of the life story of Blind Jessie McGee, with a long rambling tangential story involving a big prison yard fight scene, dozens if not hundreds of extras, a full second unit, stunt doubles, a little CGI, some leather clad vampires and stuff)

anyhoo ...
meanwhile, back on the ranch ...
After the big fight scene,
Jessie was taken under the collective wing of a few of the older inmates, one of whom was the mysterious figure of " Watermelons " Dixon, a blues musician who pre-dates recorded music by a few years, so very little is known of her or her songs.
The only instrument available to the prison populace ( as every movie fan knows ) was the harmonica, or in blues parlance " harp " and it was at the feet of Watermelons Dixon that Jessie discovered her true calling.

After 15 long years, Jessie left prison, and within weeks was established on the juke joint circuit, and in turn became a mentor to the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson.
In the sixties, with the blues explosion, the now ageing Blind Jessie McGee reached the height of her fame, recording with the likes of Champion Jack Dupree and Buddy Guy.

Her last known recording was on the Rolling Stones 1972 album Exile On Main Street.
