I can see how bouncies are started...

Wasn't sure where to put this.  It was DU related, so I put it here.

SO... I was sitting at Dunkin Donuts this morning, enjoying a delicious iced caramel latte.  I noticed a guy come in wearing some Green Bay Packer apparel.  I figured he was a tourist from Wisconsin.  The guy behind the register asked if he was from Wisconsin, the man said he was.  The employee said something along the lines of, "I grew up/lived in Madison before moving here."  The customer discussed how Madison was a complete mess, employee agreed but said what had happened needed to happen - referring to the budget bill I imagine.  The customer had a weird look on his face, I grabbed my phone to prepare for video of a possible DU bouncy.  The customer just politely responded with the typical, "Walker never said he would cut out collective bargaining during his campaign, blah blah blah"  My phone is ready to go for video.  Employee stated, "either way, something had to be done"  Customer said he has a couple of teacher friends in Rhinelander who SUPPORT Scott Walker and that upsets him.

The customer finally left and told us both to have a nice day.  The guy WAS nice.  Now I see how these bouncies are started.  I could easily make what happened this morning turn into cops jumping out from behind slot machines and a Fox News rant.

And then a union thug jumped out of the bushes.

Yep, all you have to do is change some rather significant facts and the story becomes a complete bouncy.

Such as the customer spouting off at the employee and the entire Dunkin' Donuts erupting in applause...it is a very simple template.

You would probably want to say you were at Starbucks, getting an earth-friendly Chai Latte, or something like that too. 

But otherwise, well done! 

I liked the cops jumping from behind slot machines.

Isn't that nice, absolutely no stunning the other person into silence and no cheers breaking out, oh and no taking off of the jacket and putting it over the arm wearing a sleeveless Champion shirt.

Always good to make up a fictitious Bouncy to go along with your real time event, Jess.

It's a lot of fun! Not too late, give us one that a DUmmie woulda wrote over the same event!

We need a little humor, anyway!

Well I used a true event and what I saw happen WITHOUT the bull crap and lies in the middle.  It helped me see what actually does transpire between DUmmies and "Tea baggers" before they run home and over exaggerate.

And I'll bet you that 999 times out of 1000 the bouncy teller was in the same position you were, watching and not involved in any way.

SO, you didn't smoke 14 bong-loads of weed first before entering said Donut establishment...it makes a difference ya know...ASSk any red-diaper-doper-baby 60's hippie off-spring...

Bouncys are much more realistic when under "the weed"!

SO... I was sitting at Panera Bread this morning, enjoying a delicious Asiago & Spinach Bagel .  I noticed a teabagger come in wearing some Green Bay Packer apparel like some football player wannabe.  I figured he was a tourist from Wisconsin.  The guy behind the register asked if he was from Wisconsin, the man said he was.  The employee said something along the lines of, "I grew up/lived in Madison before moving here."  The customer discussed how Madison was a complete mess, and Walker was doing the best he could - referring to the budget bill I imagine.  The servant had a weird look on his face, and said the teachers have a right to collective bargaining. I grabbed my phone to video the teabagger as he was getting violent.Then walks in some friendly SEIU people, who escorted the man out of the place, to the cheers of everyone.  The customer was yelling "Walker and Bush are going to kick your asses, blah blah blah".  Employee stated, "Something had to be done about the disturbance" -and that the teabagger was told to "never darken his doorstep again".

OMG  This is uncanny.  I was in a Drunken Dognuts today too.  I had a problem with my coffee maker so after I ran to market for a few items, I decided to purchase my morning repast while still out. Since I can never remember what they call the pastry I like, rather than use the drive through, I went in to interact at the counter. I rarely frequent Drunken Dognuts since I quit smoking but I do like an occasional gooey pastry treat that I think they call a coffee roll.  (A lot like porn, I know it when I see it)


 It was raining cats and dogs when I entered behind a couple of obviously homeless people.  I knew they were homeless because they didn't even have a car and the Drunken Dognuts is just down the road from the local Homeless Hilton, which, by the way is a truly elaborate affair recently rebuilt and updated.  (and if you build it, they will come).  They ordered, took their coffee and sat in the very small customer seating area in front of the ordering counter.   I assumed they had to leave the shelter and were just staying out of the rain.  
 
I approached the counter and pointed at the pastry I wanted and ordered a medium French Vanilla coffee with cream.  The bill was over three dollars, I left the change from a fiver in the tip cup putting the bill in my wallet causing the barista to cheer and blow me kisses as I left.  The homeless couple never said a mumblin word.  The cops were off somewhere else I guess.  I saw a bus headed to Foxwoods on my way home and the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile.  It was awesome.  Obviously I need to get out more often.

I have an anti-bouncy story from today, too!

I started back on PT for my broken arm with a new group of people.  They are the new age-y kind of people but I knew who I was seeing today and, as I always do, I did a little search on the internet for him to make sure he's legit.  Anyway, I Google his name and he's a Ph.D. and a physical therapist from California.  He's a professor at a college in town, too.  So I figured he's a liberal.  Yep, he speaks to groups on the benefits of socialized medicine and is into community health. 

Yes, he's a liberal who loves socialized medicine.  I still went to see him.  He was excellent, by the way.  We didn't talk politics one bit.  He's nice and he's smart.  And he improved the range of motion in my elbow more in one visit than I had with five visits with another physical therapist. 

If the tables were turned and I were a DUmmie, I would have walked in there ready to argue.  Nahhhhhh, I just want my arm to work correctly again.  I don't care if it's a liberal or a conservative who helps me to get there. 

Oh, and there was no TV in there playing Fox News, either.
