the green police!

February 2nd, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in Misc.

Lately, I’ve began to develop some sort of disdain for the Minneapolis police. Whether it’s parking in a No Parking sign so they can go in and have Chipotle at lunch or updating their Facebook status on those giant laptops they carry in the front of their cars, I’ve been highly irritable with them as of late. So my new favorite thing? Green Police. One of my favorite colors happens to be green, so that’s already an improvement! The Green Police is an organized group of people that roam the grounds of the Glastonbury Festivals in the UK. One of their primary job duties is to prevent people from urinating in the water and hedgerows. They don’t want the urine seeping into the water supply. I can’t say I blame them. However, I’m not going to be jumping at the chance to fill out a Green Police application when there are that many bodily fluids involved.

It sounds like they do a pretty good job of convincing people cigarette butts don’t belong all over the place. And, really, I’m glad to see that anywhere. It reminds me a little of the new Downtown Improvement District (DID) people we have milling about all the time in downtown Minneapolis. Although, I can’t imagine those guys dealing with urine at all… especially since their shirts are the same color as it.

You know what the DID doesn’t have? These:

After you watch the above video (or at least part of it), you should go here and vote for Pete as the MVP! Pete was our foster dog through Pet Project Rescue. When he lived with us, his name was Merlyn and is pretty much tied as my favorite foster dog we’ve had so far. Yay, Pete!

Life In The Fast Laneby the Eagles: When I was in my early 20s, still living in Sedalia and with my parents, I worked for an ISP. And while it truly provided a great amount of learning and professional experience, the one thing I remember the most is the damn radio spot we had that I’m pretty sure lasted the entire 3ish years I was there. And back then, it was just a dial up connection, so the “Fast Lane” was a whopping 32.6K connection at best. 

Oddly enough, the only lyrics I could remember from that radio commercial were: Life in the fast lane / Surely make you lose your mind / Life in the fast lane. 

You now what lyrics I never knew were a part of that song until just this very second when I Googled the lyrics? Ones that include phrases like: “They were good in bed”, “They took all the right pills”, and “They didn’t care, they were just dying to get off”. None of which apply to an internet connection. 

*Pandora at work tends to make me remember things like this. Especially when we listen to Journey radio for three days straight.
