Lately I have been speaking to some of you newer members on the phone, communicating through e-mail, etc., and many of you have asked questions that I seem to have to address from time to time. No, this is not selfish self-promotion, but questions I encounter on a regular basis. Here we go again.
Why am I the Psycho Ninja?
This is the result of two different parts of my life:
Why is my car called the Dirty Bird?
This is because of Lexi. Well, it is not quite her fault, but it is due to our relationship. I bought my car almost a year ago, a 1990 Oldsmobile with a lot of mileage on it. I was still working for the boats at the time. One Saturday morning last October I woke up in a bad mood, and when I checked my e-mail there was a message there from Lexi. Let's just say it was a VERY interesting message! It reversed my mood, in more than one way.
While on the docks I thought I would repay the favor, so to speak. So, I called her house and left a VERY interesting message on her answering machine, completely forgetting she would be the only one to hear it. Whoops.
On the way home from work there was a voice message from Brandi Rose, Lexi's roomie and best friend, as well as the one who introduced us. Apparently B and Helen, who happens to be a heavy set, and very devout Baptist woman, entered the house and saw the message light blinking. B gave Helen permission to hit the button to hear the message, and there I was in all my glory telling Lexi a variety of, shall we say, interesting thoughts that, if performed, might be illegal in some places. I damn near caused Helen to have heart failure. "Y'all being a couple of dirty birds," B said. The name stuck.
Okay, back to the fun.
