Muddle Spotted Dining At The City Café

Git Real's picture

So my bride and I are dining at the City Café tonight. This guy and his wife come in like they know everyone in the place. So I'm sitting there sizing this cat up. I'm thinking this dude sure looks familiar. So I say to myself...."Self!..where do you know him from"?

So as my mind is processing this guy and I'm analyzing the past I think.....

School?

Work?

Jail?

Citizen Online?

And then it hits me. This is our dude with the surfboard. You see our Muddle posted his pic here once or twice and I'm telling myself that's got to be Muddle. A black sweat shirt with large pic of a wolf, black jeans, black leather jacket, no socks, got the short beard going and I swear he looks like one of the pics that ole Muddle posted. Yup...this guys got to be a philosophy professor.

So what do I do now? Blow my cover and risk being identified? Trust Muddle with my super secret identity? Man...I'm like what now. I'm certain that's who this dude is. So I picture this conversation in my mind. Excuse me sir but I think I know you from somewhere. By chance are you Muddle? Then I think if this is not Muddle then this dude is going to think I'm nuts. Then it occurs to me that I am nuts so what the heck. So if it is Muddle then who do I introduce myself as. Hi Muddle I'm errrr Mudcat...nah. I'm uhhhhh PTC Guy....wrong again. I'm Bad PTC....can't be...I'm too good looking. Ok...I'm gonna take a chance. Hi Muddle good to meet you I'm Git Real.

So I wander up to his table as he finishes pouring his bride a fresh glass of red wine and I say: Excuse me sir but I think we might know each other. Might your name be Muddle? To which his response is "nope". Oh well....we both agreed that if I didn't ask it would have drove me nuts all day.

Sooooo....identity secure. But I regret not meeting the world renowned Muddle.

But that's a good spot. Haven't been there in a while.

Must have been funny asking someone if his name is "Muddle." Some screen names can get outlandish, too. Imagine walking up to a guy in a restaurant and asking, "Your name wouldn't be 'Fatassbob' would it?"

You could get punched. Eye-wink

Reckon if he would have looked at me weird and asked me where someone would have come up with a name like Muddle I would have told him we were former AF-10A pilots (no offense Hack). Sounds more exciting than a being a Citizen Blogger. LOL

Several things about the scene were wrong. The all-black thing sounds like a biker. Bikers and surfers didn't get along back in the 60s. And my wife won't let me buy a Harley, even though I'm 50 next month. (I would lose my leverage in arguing that my sons need to stay off of them.)

Black sweatshirt with pic of wolf. More likely: "Old Guys Rule" surfer T, or "Life is Good" T, or "Allman Brothers Band" T.

Black jeans. Replace: khakis.

Black leather jacket. Replace (if I fish my Christmas wish): Taylor Guitars alumni jacket (way cool).

No socks. Possible. More likely, Birkenstocks w/socks (leftover hippy, remember?).

Red wine. Replace: India Pale Ale.

So if you spot a bearded, sandaled guy, seated next to a gorgeous brunette, sporting, say, an Allman Brothers shirt and khakis and enjoying an IPA with the meal, walk on over and introduce yourself. You'll likely have it right. Either the gorgeous brunette will be my wife or I will have lost my mind. Smiling

Muddle I am not here to pick any kind of fight but you realy have to work on your wife about that Harley I had one since 2001 then traded it in for a 05 American Iron Horse chopper it is just fun to ride those back roads and forget about some problems for a while. Hope one year you make the plunge, you will not regret it.

As far as the kids go, just no crotch rockets. My son told me he was going to get one and told him I would run over it with my F250 then back up and do it again. He then forgot he wanted one but he is oly 13 good luck my friend.

If you'll write out a prescription for one I might have a little more leverage with her. Some people go for Prozac. A Harley would do just fine for me.

(We're talking about a lady who, at 15, buzzed up and down A1A in S. Florida on the back of my Yamaha 100. I guess she's become a little more cautious with age.)

I would love to write you a cript for a Harley it is much better for you than that Prozac.

Now I have fond memories of getting down AIA in South Fl, grew up there myself. Lust let me know and we will se if Mrs Muddle will go for it

Although this guy dressed in black wasn't displaying the biker look he sure looked like you. You'll have to sneak a pic in down the road so I clear the thought in my mind that you have a twin. Chuckle..chuckle.

I'll be looking for you so I can buy you that IPA.

I'll also be looking for BladderQ so I can buy him a heart. Smiling

I am sure that pleasure would have been all your's.
I know this isn't nice at x-Mas but I couldn't resist. But you really need to git more of life than posting on here or fantazing about meeting posters in public. Also, I hope if you had any of that red wine, all your seat belts were buckled, your tail lights were ALL operational and you had a red flag on the ladder hang'n off the back of your pick 'em up truck comming back to PTC. I don't think HAWK-1 is flying right now.

And it also appears we will never share life's pleasures together. Sad for you.

That wasn't nice any time of the year and if I were a betting man your name would have been the first one I'd pick to make the comment you made. You're easy to pick out with the snot running down your nose.

And leave you here all alone without your own life? I'll make you a promise BladderBoy. If I see a scowling, snotty nosed, pathetic, hateful, grouchy, humorless, old Scrooge sitting in the corner mumbling something about helicopters I'll be sure to leave you alone. There are several here that I would enjoy meeting and several are on your side of the fence ideologically. Don't worry....I'll never attempt to ruin your day by saying Howdy.

Also, I hope if you had any of that red wine, all your seat belts were buckled, your tail lights were ALL operational and you had a red flag on the ladder hang'n off the back of your pick 'em up truck comming {{{C-O-M-I-N-G}}} back to PTC. I don't think HAWK-1 is flying right now.

HI, MY NAME IS GIT REAL... and I've been alcohol free for near 20 years. And I drive an 06 beautifully colored Ford F-150 King Ranch Pick-Em-Up Truck that has no payments attached. I chose that over a Jag. I pay people like you to haul and climb my ladders for me these days and I don't hate cops like you do. Come walk in my shoes for a day and you'll find that you are unable to keep up and then you will come to realize why you are the pathetic, loser liberal bed wetter that you have proved yourself out to be.

Merry Christmas to you Scrooge. I hope you get a visit from the spooks tonight. Sticking out tongue

Meanwhile....Back At The Ranch.....Smiling

I was the guy at City Cafe driving the '06 Lexus with the good looking blonde on his arm and the black leather jacket. I'm also the guy that used to pull bladderboy's underware up over his ears on the school bus. Smiling
