Don’t Make Stuff Up To Sound Important
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 21-08-2011
How is your weekend going? Any drunken, embarrassing stories?
Maybe your kids have embarrassed you? I don’t have kids myself, but if they are young I know that happens. The good news is you’ll get the chance to embarrass them once they become teens. What goes around comes around.
Of course they’ll get the last laugh when they commit you to a nursing home, but you’ve got plenty of time to kiss their asses as adults and spoil your grand kids before that happens.
Anyway… this is a half-assed weekend for me in real life, so what’s more fitting than a half-assed post. Remember… you can grab my Half-Assed Weekend button over on the right side of my page and use it yourself anytime you feel like Half-Assing your weekend posts!
What I have for you today is a photo I took at a stop light this week. You may need to click on the photo to make it bigger. Then you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.
Supposedly it’s from a company called Arrow Cryogenics. Isn’t that the company that froze Walt Disney’s head? Maybe not.
This truck has a bunch of things listed that they claim they do. Obviously they are just trying to impress people by putting a bunch of random crap on the back because we’re not smart enough to know the difference. For instance, there is no way Shot Peening is a real thing. And if it is? Count me in.
Some of the other services they claim to offer, and what I think they actually mean:
Passivating - This is when a dude makes a pass at a girl, who then turns out to be his long lost cousin.
Electropolishing - I’m thinking this may be a dangerous phenomenon involving masturbating with an electric sander.
Cryogenic Deflashing – Have you ever come across a guy wearing nothing but a trench coat hanging out inside of a walk-in freezer? Lets just say, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
Vibratory Deburring – I’m pretty sure this has something to do with sex toys in the great outdoors.
But really… don’t just make up a bunch of shit and put it on the back of your truck to impress people. We’re not all idiots… right?

"Arrow Cryogenics… We'll Shine Your Knob!

I think THAT on the back of a truck would get much more attention.

Passivating – hilarious.
And you have the natural order of things correct. Your kids embarrass you when they are young and once they become teens, it's your turn. In fact, I think of it as a parental responsibility.

Haha! Hilarious!
I'm intrigued by the 'shot peening'.
I wonder if anyone has actually given this a go?!

I'd be sitting behind that truck scratching my head and assuming I was too stupid to know what those things were…I like your "I'm smart and they are dumb" take. haha. I'm adopting it for my own now.

Well at least their Chromate Conversion is Hex Free…I really hate a good hex…I don't know any witches to get rid of them. : )

Yeah I read the back of the truck and thought what the hell are those things so yeah I agree a whole lot of bull too make them sound so great……

"Shot Peening" is also another phrase for passing gall-stones!

It all sounds completely legit to me… I would wiki some of it, but I'm afraid of what will come up based on your speculation.

They offer Ultrasonic Cleaning so that when you're done with your shot peening or your vibratory deburring, you won't have to make the walk of shame in need of a bath. I like the way they think

I can't decide if 'vibratory deburring' sounds really hot or really painful.

i think i saw a similar truck, on a recent travel excursion.
but then again this may be blogjavu…
you know, when you read a blog and think that this is eerily similar to what you were just thinking about…
or mebbe im just making this up to sound important…

I fixed on Hex-free Chromite conversion. Is this like alchemy without the supernatural element?

I make up crap all the time…and I teach school. The future of America is in my hands – SCARY!

I'm pretty sure I used to date the guy who created this company. He also used to wear a lot of girls' perfume…

Oh my! Your insights sounded very hilarious! "Passivating" ooops!
