Joe Hood

Alright....
Saw 2 and an ice cream: $8.68
Gas to get to Wawa from Blockbuster: $.98
Driving from Blockbuster to wawa to get your daughter ice cream because it wasn't in Blockbuster: Priceless
Life has many prices, but for wonderful, caring fathers....everyone but me is screwed.


Yeah, we rented Saw 2 tonight. It was awesome. Massive twist, like the first one. But, don't fret, that's all I'm going to say about the movie. On the way back from Wawa, we turned onto Nickle's Son, and watched this guy turn onto the street we were on. It's dark, the guy is in a piece of crap car, and he's got his hood on....three inches from his face. Father is staring, laughing the whole time, the guy's just watching him as he drives by. "Dad, did you see that guy?" I said....he's like "Yeah, it's a look." So we turned onto the Son, and dad lets go of the wheel, lifting his Jacket up over his head; like a hood. Sibling and I crack up after momentary 'holy-crap-we're-gonna-crash' panic, to watch dad gets stares from people in passing cars. "Yeah, that's right, I'm Joe Hood!"
So, we drive until we get to a Letter Road, and turn into it. Well, we're here, and stares are still going to father. So, I'm sitting in the seat next to him, my brown hat tilted to the side...and Dad's like.."why is it always Joe? Joe Cool, Joe Dirt, Joe Mama..." "Joe Hood!" I say.so, we laugh and see a group of 'hoodlums' crowded around a car. They instantly look up, and Father makes signs with his hands, ending up with a karate move. "That's right, be afraid. Fear Joe Hood!"
ANd that was the end of that.......He took down his hood as he drove home....
We were sitting on the couch, and mother comes down and goes into the kitchen to get her iced creameries. "Hey, hun, if the kids say anything about a hood, they're lying." "Joe Hood!" I say grinning, "see, stupid kids," he says...we all laugh and enjoy Saw 2......
Ta da!
