The week after Friday the Thirteenth has brought incredible good luck! Just imagine finding not one, but two sets of very important keys within hours of their loss.
The first instance of good fortune was the discovery of a set of keys that led to my freedom from the “overseers” at my usual place of unemployment.
No sooner had I secured my release via a dark tunnel lined with auto racing posters spanning 50 years of history I was confronted by a neon sign flashing the words Thunder Lounge. Just below that gaudy display was a man standing with a help wanted sign.
Overlooking for the moment his suit that was obviously rented from Ten Buck Suits R Us I inquired what type of help he was looking for.
Introducing himself as Luke, proprietor of Thunder Lounge, he said due to circumstances beyond his control he was unable to provide the amount of content and the entertainment that content usually provides to his cliental at Thunder Lounge.
Luke then proceeded to lay out a “litany of restrictions” on what could and could not be part of Thunder Lounge’s menu. Then my second stroke of luck occurred.
As Luke read me the riot act a key ring slipped through a hole in his right suit pocket. As I pretended to listen the words “Thunder Lounge” glinted in the moonlight from a shiny key fob attached to the set of keys.
Never one to pass up an opportunity, and singing the praises or Ten Buck Suits R Us, I declined Luke’s offer with thoughts of snatching the keys and rummaging around the place late at night.
And it worked, Luke walked away dejected and I’m in! And the best part of all I’m unencumbered by any restrictions Luke attempted to place on me. So standby, you may be seeing a whole lot more of me in the next few days, weeks and if undetected years!
I may even make a copy or two of the keys and pass them around to a friend or two.
On a side note, despite Luke’s ruminations to the contrary I have it on semi-official authority, attributed to anonymous sources, Luke isn’t over worked. He’s been thumped on the head by NASCAR’s version of Thor’s Hammer.
Word is he’s been suspended under NASCAR’s Mythical Rulebook Section 12-4-A, “actions detrimental to stock car racing.” The exact violation hasn’t been detailed but indications are Luke was seen in the Texas Motor Speedway infield selling cheap copies of the Mythical Rulebook while wearing a gold tin foil hat.
Hopefully the suspension will point Luke towards acting in a straight and narrow manner.
If not… well you got me!

You so crazy… lol
Marc, the additional insight and assistance is much appreciated.
If ya keep the laughs up like this, I may find something to take up the remaining 4 hours of my day. Sleep? Heh, that’s overrated.
Rumor has it, although HWSBO won’t confirm, that 12-4-A is for crimes against servers, as I just brought a server online that has enough power to cause brownouts in California.
Good thing for y’all out that way that this beast is in Texas, eh?
And Clance thought she had to worry about lightning… he he he

Oh my. This could get interesting. Does this mean Marc and Clance’ might join the fray at the Fast Lap as well? Foil hats don’t work too well there. Hard hats might help though, eh, Luke?
Indeed, Charlie. A hard hat may be necessary in the not so distant future.
