And a roommate coming in, pulling his gun out, closing the blinds and staring outside. <BR/><BR/>Random people shooting guns inside and autographing the bullet holes. Seeing how many 8-tracks a .22 would go through. The wonderful sounds of the 4th of July and New Years when the neighborhood would open up with gunfire. <BR/><BR/>People driving over the curb about 18 times a day, and the pepperpots out on Sundays going to church. Buying beer with the food stamps that Nic paid back a loan with. Dynamiting fish in the pond, which never worked right. Oh, and the naked guy that was hosed down with pepperspray. It didn't bother him and it took 11 cops (I counted!) to hold him down. I didn't realize they actually used a net when trying to catch some happy nekkid guy high on PCP. <BR/><BR/>It's a wonderful place, but I like my porch on 19th too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129330703957982302005-10-14T15:58:00.000-07:002005-10-14T15:58:00.000-07:00is the ancient computer guy the same guy that wate...is the ancient computer guy the same guy that waters the tree out front every evening for like an hour? <BR/><BR/>did you ever hear the story where the lady downstairs from you barged in on jessie and started simulating sex with a rolled up newspaper? it took jess a while to figure out that she was accusing them of flushing tampons down the toilet and clogging up the pipes.<BR/><BR/>my favorite southside story is the time some random old chinese man walked into my apartment as i was getting ready to take a shower and i just stood there naked and confused until he finally walked out.<BR/> <BR/>oh how i do miss southside.<BR/><BR/>johnnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129320109357809402005-10-14T13:01:00.000-07:002005-10-14T13:01:00.000-07:00Hurah for Beers.

I miss the east sac bums. Friendliest hobos around. The homeless dude who sat in front of Pizza Guys playing bongos all day eventually got a job there and has worked there forever now! I really like imagining some Pizza Guys employee quitting & all the other employees being all "well, we could ask the bongo guy".<BR/><BR/>millerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129315865786216272005-10-14T11:51:00.000-07:002005-10-14T11:51:00.000-07:00i miss Southside a ton. although not blatant, i've...i miss Southside a ton. although not blatant, i've even got a neighborhoodie about it.<BR/><BR/>although East Sac is pretty bitchin. and yesterday when i left for work, there was an ancient sailor type sitting on my front porch, in my pink chair, reading the comics like he owned the place. <BR/><BR/>i should have asked what he was reading, but instead i apologized for bothering him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088208345503203020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129314892543170072005-10-14T11:34:00.000-07:002005-10-14T11:34:00.000-07:00I just tried to scope it out but I got stared the ...I just tried to scope it out but I got stared the fuck down!<BR/><BR/>millerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129312740136642592005-10-14T10:59:00.000-07:002005-10-14T10:59:00.000-07:00If we're going to go into southside minutiae (and ...If we're going to go into southside minutiae (and why not, it's not like any of us are working), has anyone besides me seen the guy on 10th who sets up his ancient computer outside sometimes? he has been there periodically lately. i love that guy. he seems like a real kook.<BR/><BR/>i want to see the smoking device! is it stashed outside at night? we should shanghai it to my house tonight because we're going to need all the smoking devices we can get.becklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488884204422943486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129312447138716362005-10-14T10:54:00.000-07:002005-10-14T10:54:00.000-07:00Of course,same time as usual.-ConnieOf course,same time as usual.<BR/><BR/>-ConnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129311846796480492005-10-14T10:44:00.000-07:002005-10-14T10:44:00.000-07:00Beers just got some outdoor seating so it's only a...Beers just got some outdoor seating so it's only a matter of time now. There's some serious potential for the staring contest of the year since Gam Lei Sig is currently the chilling, smoking, staring spot of choice on this block. Speaking of the Sig, I would invite anyone who's walking by there to take a peek behind the brick wall & see if the crazy smoking device is stashed back there. This thing is unreal. It's looks like a metal bong that some stoner made in welding class & then buried for 20 years. And the old dudes will freely smoke something out of it that's billowing with thick smoke but doesn't seem to have any really strong smell. Which reminds me of the time I decided to go to East Sacramento Hardware to buy parts to make a bong and about 5 minutes in to the guy helping me find everything, he looked at me like a disapproving parent & said "what exactly are you trying to make?". And yes, I busted the age old "science project" excuse.<BR/><BR/>millerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129308163700622502005-10-14T09:42:00.000-07:002005-10-14T09:42:00.000-07:00So, see you there Sunday?-Lois (of Hi and)So, see you there Sunday?<BR/>-Lois (of Hi and)Rosalitaheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057227885539414600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1129307720403919272005-10-14T09:35:00.000-07:002005-10-14T09:35:00.000-07:00I think the change takes place after the new year....I think the change takes place after the new year.
