Injury updates

ok story time:

Back in high school I hung out with a bunch of people from a Catholic family with like 12 kids. All of the kids were superior athletes, one of which happened to be a golden gloves boxer. Not just a normal boxer, he was big and scary A.F. - nobody fucked with him even a little bit. Now, I knew him most of my life so we were on good terms, and I made sure to never let that change.

Anyway, one day it snowed, so all the neighborhood kids went and had a snowball fight that covered a 3 block radius. Somehow or other, I ended up in a one-on-one situation with this monster and ran out of snowballs. He, however, had several stashed in his hoodie.

"oh shit"

I back peddled and by the craziest coincidence, I backed into a snowman base that was for some fuck-all reason was on the sidewalk. I fell over, back on the ground, feet in the air, bundled up in 3 layers of clothes and couldn't move. The monster comes running at me, screaming like a madman, and smashes a snowball in my face. Those snowballs in his hoodie had become basically ice balls, and it was like a rock. I bled.

Scariest moment of my life, and I looked a lot like the guys in the picture.

Him against Randy Johnson.....I'll pick The Big Unit.

funny, at just about that same time in my life I met Randy Johnson. I was working at the Hoagy's Corner/7-11 and he came in to pay for gas. He stood out like a sore thumb. It happened to be after a game where he got lit up in his rookie(?) year (not sure he was a rookie, but back before he had control of his pitches), and he drove a big brown piece o' shit car. I imagine he's upgraded since.

Not really story worthy, other than the odd coincidence that it may have been the same year in the same neighborhood.

Where was this? I loved the Hoagies Corner in West Lynnwood. It was a high school hang out spot where kids would go to get word of where the house parties were that night. Amazing how we were able to organize and communicate with no phones. lol

Hoagie's Corner lol. Now there's a blast from the past.

U-District, on 50th. I worked there I think '89-90ish. I made the best sandwiches, everybody said so!

Ha! Cheesy British was awesome! I used to get the biggest one they sold. A 16 oz Cheddar and Broccoli Soup and a bag of Chips, probably 2000 Calories and weighed 165lbs and wouldn't gain an ounce. Now if I just looked at that meal I would gain 7lbs. LOL

The crazy thing is, back then, it was actually food - now the shit they are selling is all kinds of weird processed food and chemicals - that's what killing everyone. I wonder how many people even realize that a bag of chips sold in the US is different from the bags sold in europe - the bags in teh US contain ingredients and oils so toxic they're banned in most countries. That is the shit the "FDA" is allowing in our foods. Anyone remember Tim's Cascade chips? Those Cajun BBQ? Best potato chip ever.

This is all making me nostalgic. Some Hoagie's behind the curtain secrets:
The secret sauce was called MaMu... which was mayonnaise and mustard.
There were two piles of bread - one for hot, one for cold. The pile for hot would be day-old, as it would soften in the microwave.
The soups would come in these big old frozen bricks that we just melted. Nobody ever ordered it... you were probably the only one haha

I always made the best sandwiches because I'd put the MaMu on both slices of bread instead of just the one, and always use the fresh bread.
