giving up the goatman
Yep, Chrisafer took me on a tour of his hometown area of Prince George's County yesterday to and fro the auto detail store. It was near where I go birdwatching, although I have never spotted the Goatman of Hyattsville even though I'm the first birding geek in 5 years to spot a red-headed woodpecker in the area. I gots eyes like a hawk I do...harr.
I gave up the goatman and got the skid mark on the car professionally removed, now she looks good as new. Now if only I could get a call back from the dude at the dealership and seal the deal. I had one potential interest via e-bay, but we both were kinda sketched out on the whole private sale deal, especially since he was from NC. Blah blah blah I'll spare you the car drama and I can't wait to get rid of that fucker.
In a search for some old academic writing samples for grad school application, I had my mom look through some boxes in the closet where I used to hide back home in Wisconsin. She found the diploma I was looking for, plus some old trophies from track & field and public speaking competitions, and my old pressed flower collection from biology class. I wanted her to mail it with the diploma, but she was worried it would get crushed or lost, so she offered to take it with her on her trip to NYC next weekend and leave it with my friends up there. Now, this pressed plant collection has a very aromatic sample of skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) in it, which gives the container of pressed plant specimens an aroma similar to that of a big box of pot. I immediately imagined my sweet 'ol mom getting busted in the airport terminal by the U.S. Customs drug-sniffing beagle and being arrested. I promptly told mom that I didn't need the flower collection that bad, and that I'll get it when I come home next Christmas. Momma doesn't need to get busted on her first trip to NYC now does she?

Does Chrisafer know of a head shop in College Park, Greenbelt, or environs?
