The Old Man and the Pea

I met Penny at the Black Eyed Pea for lunch today. The Black Eyed Pea is a good place to find old people. I walked quickly back to my car to change shoes (I had flip flops on, but it was freezing in there so I needed some socks and shoes).

Previously I noticed a certain old man eating lunch with his grandson at a table in the center of the room. The old man and grandson walked out of the restaurant as I was walking back across the parking lot. They bid each other farewell and began to get into their cars. I stopped the old man before he opened the door to his Yellow Scion that sported both an “Aggie Grandparent” bumper sticker and a “Longhorn Grandparent” sticker.

“Excuse Me,” I said, prompting both individuals to turn and look at me.

I addressed the grandpa, “Do you ever ghostride that thing?”

The man stopped. Put his head back and laughed. “Once or twice” he said. “You must have been watching the Youtube video.”

“Yes,” I said, “It’s very popular.”

“I knew it was only a matter of time before someone in Conroe said something to me.”

I met him and his grandson and he told me about the Longhorn grandkid that filmed the popular video and the Aggie who was hiding in the back seat controlling the speed.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, shame on you. Watch the video here:
