I'd like to take this moment to thank Krispy Kreme and the good people at FedEx for making this splendid day possible.


Warehouse quotes:

"I'd never buy a Ford. I'd smoke crack before I bought a Ford."

"You youngins are pretty good. Well... some of you you'd put two together and get 25 cents."

"She had a great big Cadillac, the kind you have to throw an anchor out of it when you park."


----Marka Stewart

Old quote:
Driver : "You know smoking will kill you."
She-who-must-not-be-named: "I'm going to live forever. I'm too ornery to die."

We have a new forklift. Its name is Tweety, christened by my sister. It's yellow, annoying, and noisy as hell. Its secret name is
That's because it's evil. Very evil. At first it wasn't working at all,

"Obviously it's a lemon, that's why it's yellow!"
-Smitty

But now it works well enough. It used to stall all the time, but we fixed the fuel injector, and now all it does is stall at strange times and rattle. RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE with no end, no pattern, just sporadic RATTLE.

Ok, ok. I shouldn't get down on Tweety. I just miss Forky. They took Forky away on Monday. My sister washed him and made him look beautiful before they took him away- I wanted to wash him but I couldn't, I just quickly kissed him goodbye and didn't watch the man tie him to the truck and drive away.

And one cannot really judge Tweety... there was The Accident, after all. Tweety was a forklift for a long time in another state, many hours, which is how forklift life is measured (coffee spoons?). I suppose he was then. Before.
When he was very old he was purchased by MSL. He was loaded onto a truck and he began the long trip to Colorado. Suddenly the semi-truck got into a terrible accident on the highway and went flying forward. He had been loaded on the truck backwards, so he went through the front of the truck forks first and right into the cab, narrowly missing the driver, who walked away unscathed. (Next horror movie: Forklift Frenzy of FEAR!) , on the other hand, was not ok, and they took him to Kansas City for some rest and rehabilitation. They repainted him, they gave him new forks, a new cage, and snazzy new stickers. When he arrived, he was given his new name. But deep inside his newly painted exterior still lies the old, broken soul of .
Maybe if we knew everyone's life story, we would give everyone a break and love them despite their faults. Speaking of brakes, Tweety's are quite sensitive.



Oh, how I miss thee, Forky.




Oh, I shall yet give thee a chance, Tweety.

Oh, and besides FedEx bringing us Krispie Kremes and this day being awesome and having a good conversation about the guy who flattened Gramby with a tank (the second time someone flattened a Colorado town with a tank!), this conversation also made me happy all day:

Gary: "LaAaAaauuUuuUurRrRaAa!"

Laura: "Yes?"

Gary: "Oh, nothing, I was just singing your name."

You didn't miss much not washing the forklift! ;) While it was nice to spend a few last HOURS with Forky @ the end of his time here... he was a greasy one-- and a pigmenty one! He did say he'd miss you though- and that he had a crush on Tweety! How cute! As for quotes, you should add, "You should be a Democrat! You're almost 21 so you'll be able to vote!" -Smitty (Umm... yah.. Gotta hand it to those Democrats- smart ones....) :-P
