downside
my accompanist is supposed to be accompany me at Noon.
i call him seven times and leave two messages.
phone conversation at 1:55 PM:
Howard:Hey, John.
Me: Where were you today.
Howard: Passed out on my bed. Sorry man.
Me: (grudgingly) I still need you for juries next week.
Howard:I know.
Me: Next time, don't pass out.
Howard: I know man, fuckin' 4-20.
...
...
...
"fuckin' 4-20?"
North Texas musicians: Do not hire Howard as your accompanist.

Dude, I was watching rap city (I know...shame.) and for a minute I thought that missy elliot was ripping off the "Buddy Holly" video. Thankfully, they didn't do a good job of it. But I was pissed off for a good...10 seconds.
And not to laugh at your pain man, but dang, people who take 420 as an actual excuse to smoke...
Yeah, I had a really similar situation. I got mugged and the guy took off with like $200 in my wallet. I went to the police and they said they had a guy in custody.
I went back a few hours later to reclaim my money and they let him go!
Drew: Wait, so what happened?
Police Guy: Yeah, that's my bad...I'll take the rap for this one.
Drew: You fucking let him go?
Police Guy: Fucking 4-20.
I hit him with a tire iron.
