A typical marshall barrett story: Stewart's Gas in Troy, NY
- fidget3600: my dad was down at the apartments cleaning
- fidget3600: and my mom said she was going to stop there after work so that he could buy gas for her cause she didnt have any money
- fidget3600: so the gas pump wasnt allowing cards
- fidget3600: so he filled it up and went inside
- fidget3600: he handed them his card, they said their machine is down and they are only taking cash
- fidget3600: he said he didn't have any cash, they said ok, you need to leave us your license and bring us cash by 11pm
- fidget3600: he said well banks dont open till 9am tomorrow how am i suppose to get cash?
- dr futchi: hahaha
- fidget3600: they said go to an atm, he said i dont use atms
- dr futchi: of course!
- dr futchi: haha
- fidget3600: they said well we are going to call the cops
- fidget3600: he said fine call them
- dr futchi: niceeee
- fidget3600: so he went outside to tell my mom what was going on
- fidget3600: she was so upset and said she would go cash a check at price chopper
- fidget3600: price chopper would only let her cash $25
- dr futchi: no way
- fidget3600: yeah, i guess cause she cashed money there the day before
- fidget3600: the total was 27.50
- fidget3600: so at this point the cops are there waiting with my dad
- dr futchi: oh boy
- fidget3600: she pulls up and walks in with a puss on her face, she was madder than anything
- fidget3600: she told them she would never do business with them again
- dr futchi: oh i bet!
- fidget3600: my dad found 2 bucks in his wallet
- fidget3600: and my mom scrambled to find some change
- fidget3600: then they left
- dr futchi: what a mess
- fidget3600: and my dad said there was a young kid that looked like he didn't have a cent, sitting and watching the whole thing
- fidget3600: and tried to give my dad $30
- fidget3600: which was pretty nice
- dr futchi: thats nice
- fidget3600: my dad turned it down
- dr futchi: of course
- fidget3600: i was just laughing so hard, wow
- dr futchi: amazing

CONGRATULATIONS, BYRONE AND BUBBY
Although I don’t have any kids of my own, I’ve been around babies most of my life. In fact, I have six nieces and a nephew. Hell, I’ve been an uncle since I was 8 years old. But now that I’m getting older, my friends are actually starting to have kids as well, and baby making is becoming an inevitable part of us growing up. And these babies are showing up day-after-day. Literally.
Naomi (left) and Briana both entered the world this week, arriving respectively on September 30 and October 1 to two guys I consider to be my brothers - Brian (left) and new father Clint.
As two of my nieces turned 1-year-old in August (ALSO one day ofter the other), this back-to-back baby business is a little freaky. But really, I should welcome coincidences like these in my life because it gives me interesting subjects to write about.

Having inadvertantly captured a full-on poopy diaper check, I decided this otherwise unassuming karaoke photo wasn’t going to hit the cutting-room floor.

My best friend (and subsequently the biggest fan of the underscore) Brian - aka Byrone - used to actually rock a mullet rivaling the one I photomorphed him into here.

I’m boycotting cutting down on Budweiser products.
Dug from the archives, here’s a light-writing shot taken in my office a few months ago. I’ve seen several of these kinds of images show up around the Web, my least favorites being this one and this one.
The description from my flickr: “I used Nathan’s key chain light to write my name in the air while he held the shutter open using the bulb setting. Stopped at f32, the aperture was small enough to keep out most of the light around me and give me enough time to crank out those letters.”
