Some bonus Blazer content in there as well.

Good read.

 

Can I officially say I know a famous person now?

 

Do any of us actually KNOW Eric, though? I mean, he might be a serial killer.

 

Why are they name-dropping me so much? I don't get it.

 

bones are usually just left overs

 

I shook his hand. And im not washing it again. Ever... LOL

Okay, but arent serial Killers pretty famous? So either way im in like flynnn when I say I know someone famous right?

@KingSpeed George Michael Fan?

 

I guess you could call it "knowing" him now. In actuality, it was more you staring at him all star-struck.

 

You then proceeded to sniff that hand for a good five minutes. It was kinda creepy.

 

HA! well, you were sitting next to me. How many times I patted you on the back I cant remember

 

He was in the bathroom for quite awhile too after that handshake.....

 

Bathrooms? There were bathrooms? If so I couldn't find them. I just crouched in the corner for a while....admiring my hand. Wondering whether it would be worth not playing guitar anymore to chop it off and glass encase it.

 

We might be joking, but this is truly sickening.....

 

Hey hey hey, will this be in the print edition? Or was it already? I'll check tomorrow. I thought it came out well. I wasn't misquoted. It's devastating when that happens.

 

Dude, I had no idea you were anyone famous. I knew you were an actor, but I just assumed like you did underwear commercials or something.

I was a huge fan of Bones, but I lost touch with the series shortly after Sweets died (around the time I stopped watching TV all together).

Now they're ending the series, and Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz are suing Fox.

Where did it all go so wrong?

Anyways...I'm glad you could join us here on S2, and I wish you many years of continued success.

 

I was a Security Guard for about 6 years. Unfortunately, this would not surprise me if this was real.

It's a completely thankless, soul-crushing job that only appeals to you if you have no life aspirations and just generally need to put food on the table because you don't know how to do anything else. And the only thing you can do is work work work.

Sleep in your car during snow storms because you're afraid you won't be able to make it back out there the next day (and your boss will fire you if you don't)? Oh yes.

Sleep on your buddy's moldy couch after a 14 hour shift because you're too utterly exhausted to drive 30 miles home in morning rush hour traffic? Yep.

Piss in the bushes in pouring rain because the client doesn't want you using the facilities you're supposed to be guarding; and therefore didn't leave you a bathroom key? Uh huh.

I had exactly one vacation in 6 years. And my boss strait up told me that he never read any of my paperwork; the very paperwork I meticulously wrote out by hand to the point of having a sore on my middle finger from gripping the pen for so long.

It's an utterly awful job, and this kind of stuff doesn't surprise me in the least. The smart folks learn to avoid the job altogether, so the company grabs whatever schmucks are left over. Drug addicts? Drunks? Questionable histories? Don't have all of your licenses and State paperwork in order?

Doesn't matter to them.

Can you wear a uniform? Yes? Then get out there; the client needs you as an insurance policy to its customers. You're not actually allowed to DO anything, you see. We just gave you those cuffs and baton to look cute.

Guards openly masturbating during a live game? They'll fire him and hire someone who's probably not much higher on the character chart than an ant.

The most I ever made was $10.32/hour. You'd have to pay me a minimum of $20/hour to get me to even consider going back to that line of work. I left Security in 2007 and entered Counseling for depression, stress, and exhaustion. Zanax, Ambien, and other pills were the only comfort I had for a long time after that.

I don't envy Mr. Masturbater here. I pity him. You all should.

Sorry for the rant. It's 3:20 in the morning, and occasionally I find old resentments bubbling to the surface.

 

Thanks. Anyone know if it was in the print edition? I can't get the Oregonian where I am today.

 

Wife and I are starting the whole Bones series from episode one season one as soon as we finish West Wing.

Congrats Eric!
