A long time ago, I worked with a guy who spoke with a pretty thick Cambodian accent.\u00a0 One cold winter night as he came inside, he exclaimed to me and the other people present, to \u201cbe careful outside, there\u2019s black ice everywhere.\u201d\u00a0 The thing was though, due to his accent, \u201cblack ice\u201d sounded precariously like \u201cblack guys.\u201d\u00a0 This elicited a lot of laughter from us (it\u2019s\u00a0okay<\/em>one of the guys present was black!): Watch out for all the black guys outside.\u00a0 The black guys is dangerous.\u00a0 Black guys everywhere!<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, over the span of the last month, there has been a rash of trucks overturning on highway ramps, spilling their contents all over the place.\u00a0 Now there\u2019s no confirmation that black\u00a0guys<\/span>\u00a0ice has had anything to do with any of them, but given the fact that it\u2019s the winter, we here in Atlanta have been subject to some record-breaking arctic polar snaps, there\u2019s always the possibility that black guys might have been involved.<\/span><\/p>\n Confirmed or not, it really was a convenient excuse for me to forcibly shoe-horn in the black guys story because I\u2019m a terrible person and I find it amusing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Regardless, black guys or no black guys, it\u2019s still somewhat amusing the nature of these truck crashes; now thankfully no people were seriously injured in any of these wrecks, so it\u2019s okay to make light of them, at least as far as I see it.\u00a0\u00a0The first wreck<\/a>, right before Christmas was literal tons of holiday hams spilling out of an overturned semi (seen above).\u00a0 Just a little over a week ago was then\u00a0the truck that dumped tons of chickens all over the road<\/a>, when it overturned.\u00a0 And then just recently, yet\u00a0another truck overturned almost at the same spot<\/a>\u00a0where the chicken truck overturned, but this one was full of, beer.<\/span><\/p>\n The frequency in which these crashes have occurred makes my imagination go a little wild, and think about the plot of the original\u00a0The Fast and the Furious<\/em>\u00a0(RIP, PAUL WALKER<\/em>) where Vin Diesel\u2019s posse makes bank by hijacking semis and selling their contents on the black market.\u00a0 I like to imagine a posse of gaudy cars speeding down I-285 in the middle of the night, trying to hijack semis full of consumable products; I mean\u00a0it wouldn\u2019t be the first time people tried to steal food<\/a>\u00a0in this city, so why not?\u00a0 But instead of slickly and deftly hijacking the trucks and escaping cleanly into the night, the robbers are instead foolishly choosing highway intersections and twisty and wide-turning ramps to execute their heists and failing miserably, resulting in trucks overturning, and everyone losing with food spilled and ruined all over the place.<\/span><\/p>\n MAYBE BLACK ICE\u00a0ARE<\/em>\u00a0INVOLVED.<\/span><\/p>\n So we got hams, chickens and beer all over the place now.\u00a0 We just need a Publix truck to crash on Spaghetti Junction or something, and flip some side dishes and maybe some picnic cutlery and plates onto the road, and then we\u2019ve got the supplies necessary for a pretty decent party.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A long time ago, I worked with a guy who spoke with a pretty thick Cambodian accent.\u00a0 One cold winter night as he came inside, he exclaimed to me and the other people present, to \u201cbe careful outside, there\u2019s black ice everywhere.\u201d\u00a0 The thing was though, due to his accent, \u201cblack ice\u201d sounded precariously like … Continue reading It\u2019s almost a party<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[51,56,15,8,52,113,170],"class_list":["post-38211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cars","tag-food","tag-og","tag-ohgeorgia","tag-owned","tag-party","tag-truck-spill"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38211"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38211\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38213,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38211\/revisions\/38213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
