The Road Trip

So, it's been a while since I posted anything, but I've been in Tulsa, and this blog is supposed to be "The Ithaca Sessions," so have I really been slacking, or just lacking material? Anyhow, a funny thing happened on the way back to Ithaca... here's a transcript of a pretty good re-telling of the story.

And yes, I use proper punctuation, spelling, and grammar when I'm on AIM. sum things are just fuckin sacred, k?

TheWileTurkey101: Man, I drove up here shitfaced on Wild Turkey 101.
TheWileTurkey101: It was CRAZY.
TheWileTurkey101: I ended up driving behind a cop at 105 miles an hour.
TerrorismLover: woah
TerrorismLover: damn
TheWileTurkey101: It was crazy.
TerrorismLover: never caught?
TheWileTurkey101: Nope. He tried, but I was too good for him.
TerrorismLover: few people understand the [sychology of a high speed chase
TheWileTurkey101: Haha. Yeah, he definitely bore me a certain grudging admiration.
TheWileTurkey101: See, I was on I-86 in western New York, and there were, literally, no other cars in sight.
TerrorismLover: what the fuck man
TheWileTurkey101: So I decide, "what the fuck?" and I take it up around 100.
TerrorismLover: blacked out
TheWileTurkey101: After about five minutes, I see another car up ahead.
TerrorismLover: woak up at teh sherrifs office
TheWileTurkey101: Nah.
TheWileTurkey101: When I get up behind him, I see it's a cop, but I see him early enough to slow down without being noticed.
TheWileTurkey101: Then it got interesting.
TheWileTurkey101: The cop got a call on his radio or something to set up a speed trap down the road from where he was, so HE SPEEDS BACK UP TO 105 AGAIN.
TheWileTurkey101: And I, thinking, "he can't bust me for driving as fast as he's driving," follow him.
TerrorismLover: but then he does
TheWileTurkey101: But I hold steady about 50 yards off his rear bumper, so he can't slow down fast enough to get me on radar before I get back under the limit.
TerrorismLover: but what about the gun shots?
TheWileTurkey101: And he and I both know that if he can't get me on radar, he has no evidence if I decide to challenge the ticket in court, which he has to assume I will if I'm already brazen enough to tail him at 100 miles an hour. [Italics added]
TerrorismLover: true
TheWileTurkey101: At one point, he pulled over fast with his caution lights on and I had to hit the brakes, thinking I was a dead man, but he must have been doing something else, because he didn't pull me over.
TheWileTurkey101: So after that, I kept my speed reasonable and my car in the right lane.
TheWileTurkey101: For about five minutes...
TheWileTurkey101: when the SAME COP blows by me at 105 miles an hour, AGAIN.
TheWileTurkey101: Of course, I started tailing him from 50 yards back again.
TerrorismLover: sounds like this guy hit the wild turkey too
TheWileTurkey101: Yeah, I'd never seen anything like it.
TheWileTurkey101: Eventually he pulled over to set up a speed trap, I slowed down, and that was the end of that phase of the drive.
TheWileTurkey101: Great stuff, though.
